The interior isn’t well planned either - have you seen where they’ve put the transmission selector!

Can’t believe they’ve ruined it so much - this was meant to be the F1 replacement with sexy lines as opposed to the track monster Senna abortion but it still looks shit.

Aye, better looking than the senna though.

It's good that they've made this super aerodynamic top speed machine that will still only just be as fast as the F1 as well :lol:.
An absolute unit

So, I reckon those front wheel discs are probably just high speed addenda, I’ve seen some photoshop’s now with normal wheels on the front and it looks better, but I do wonder if the designers even looked at an F1? Or even a Chiron for that matter!

More in common with an XJ220 than an F1. Not as good looking as either.

The arse is interesting, is the back made from thin carbon with hydraulic actuators to make the bodywork turn into a wing? Reminds me a bit of the BMW Gina concept.

Godawful. Are they trying to outdo the Senna in ugliness?

Aesthetics may be subjective but that, my friend, is objectively impossible.

The Senna looks like someone's garage attempt at making a Batmobile.

Hmm, I'm usually a defender of McLaren but I'm struggling with this one. Might be better in the flesh, whenever I see Maccas in the flesh they seem to make a lot more sense than the pictures imply.

I also think that given the customisation that they provide, one could probably polish most of them into something quite cool if one was doing the speccing. SSO should let me spec his, I reckon I could make it work.:lol:
