i had the joy of having to drive one of these at work about 2 weeks ago that was before i had to ship it off to shanghai for the motor show out there.. pic qual might not be that good as it was done off my mobile at work but i think they will do!

 

[Russ_16v]

meh it will do.


(Not jelous at all me lol)

 

[Justin]

Lucky b*****d! How was it?

 

[kevin_172]

lovely.. mclaren engineer was in the pass seat with me.. i asked if i could give it some and he said yes 4.8l V8 twin turbo.. my god it goes like stink!

 

[Poopensharten]

Jesus christ.

 

[silentsnake]

Worst colour!

 

[Daz.]

Love the interior on these...

Gash colour mind! You'd think if it was going to a show they'd give it a decent hue!

It's like taking a RB to a show rather than an Iceberg

 

[marcos172]

Stunning,:approve:
I think need for speed hot pursuit is the closest im ever going to come to driving one tho,

 

[jonny_rs]

Stunning! Didn't like it at first but in love with it now

 

[kevin_172]

everything about the car is just perfect! and i like the coulor of the car but the best thing about this is the sound. damn epic!

 

[Ollie82.]

So when you say 'drive' do you mean properly drive or moved around a yard a bit?

 

[kevin_172]

not round a public road.. but the estate where i work has i nice long straight so i got to play with it round there for about 5 min

 

[Budgie]

I'm dubious. Unless you're a journalist or potential buyer, of course?

 

[Ali]

I don't like it at all! I would not spend £xk on it, not a chance.

EDIT: No, actually, i'll bite.

This 'engineer' will not have let an uninsured driver loose with a £169k car. On an industrial estate, lol. No chance.

Kev, you do know where Mike works dont you?

Either you're not telling the 100% truth, or someone's about to lose their engineering job lol.

A friend of mine is a engineer for Maclaren. From what he says i think they would..haha

 

[Gally]

Oh.

Anyway, i'd have mine grey/silver with dark wheels.

That colour is worse than Budgie's hair.

What are the colour options?

 

[JD]

Oh.

Which is en route soon to a garage near me.

Mike, where do you work in Mclaren? And if it's anything to do with waiting lists, could you bump Mr Hetherington up a bit please? I move to London soon so won't get a chance to see it

 

[Rich_172]

Awesome car

 

[Englebert]

I think, for the money, they don't look special enough. The design is too generic.

I think it depends on if you prefer looking at your reflection in a shop window (458) over enjoying the car for is dynamic ability (MP4).

That's not to say the Fezza is bad to drive of course but I'd definitely prefer the Mac.
