McLaren F1 Successor

How do you follow up after producing possibly the world’s single greatest sportscar of all time, the McLaren F1? Apparently, you design and produce this, the new McLaren MP4-12C. (Gesundheit.) It has all the go-fast bits you’ve seen on countless other supercars recently, and while it has a trick twin-turbo V8 … maybe it’s the fact that we got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning, but color us unimpressed. In fact, we’re going to go out on a limb and quite blatantly ask: WTF? This is the replacement for the all-conquering McLaren F1? This generic mashup of Saleen, NSX, and Fierro bodykit styling? And we thought the new Lotus Evora was disappointingly under-styled. We snagged a mega-gallery of photos, so make the jump and decide for yourselves if we’re just being unnecessarily grumpy. (Also we’ve got a full press release and more details below.)
