    dia anyone noticed in the first minute or so, the track the car was on? i think it was the same as the top gear show. maybe we’ll have jeremy clarkson driving one in the next episode

    well this is supposed to rival the Ferrari 458 italia, and the Lamborghini lp560-4 right? Well the Ferrari sounds like a lion that just got scalded by a tank of boiling water. And the Lamborghini sounds like a banshee is stuck inside its heads and shrieking its head off to get out.

    This just sounds like an average sports car.

    Now the old F1 thats a sound. Sounds like a machine gun firing nukes LOL.

    But this car’s performance by the sound of it is admirable.

    rofl Dick Glover. That is one of the worlds most priceless names.

    But in seriousness the mp4-12c is looking mighty impressive. But I dunno about the sound. It could sound more outrageous, supercar like.

    I recon they should have held the true essence of the McLaren F1, and trying to produce the worlds’s fastest street legal car again, to me, its lost its essence of McLaren and is more like a Ferrari 458 Italia. and Lotus Evora. which to me is epic fail.(not the brand though)
