Honestly, without center seating, it is just another "regular" exotic. This is not a good followup to the F1.

Does anybody else think the emblem on the steering wheel looks like a Star Trek badge.

Yes. A drunk one.

Well, Scotty can beam me into that car any day!

Seriously though, I'm surprised that the torque & HP are so far apart... I'd expect at least 560 TQ with 600 HP... Anyone else?

Maybe a drunken/slanted one compared to some star trek logos, but here is also one that is almost the same.

I'm a little less than impressed by the design, and the "life support" controls appear to be horribly positioned... but I'm a spec sheet guy... I read somewhere that James T. got it to warp 6...

Too much ground clearance too. This just isn't the McLaren of old.

This is just the daily version of the car, it's supposed to come out with a vert and scuderia style car as well.

But when you consider all the innovation they put into this car and how little it weighs I think it will be a real performer. Spent a good hour and a half last night reading about the mp and the lengths they went to to lighten the car are ridiculous :beer:
