Agree, I don't think marketing and product planning can get McLaren out of this hole. The cars actually need to be good cars and frankly I don't know if McLaren knows how to do that.

I was in Woking as the 12c was just kicking off production and the rep from McLaren said to me, "Do you see the windows? Each window is held together with a custom bracket and each bolt on each bracket is made custom to our specs, every part is perfect. T

Uhh, looks very much like the DB11.

This one is definitely more of a facelift than a new model. Looks like Aston Martin is going the McLaren route, new nomenclature for every facelift. 12C and 650S were very much the same cars, the 650S being a facelift version of the 12C; but the 720S was

You just need a few briefcases full of money to solve that 😂

Back from the days when I did some work for McLaren and the 12c hadn't been released yet. There are some smoking deals out there on 570s if you can afford the maintenance and the drive is really exceptional. You could even call then a good value.....

Kind of a vague review...

Other than good power, he doesn't go into much detail about anything else. Doesn't give me any meaty detail as a potential buyer... I'll have to see the car in person, but so far I'm not in love with it. The service at my local Aston Martin dealer should

Funny the cars we are talking about in the same thread as GT86.....

2-10x the price and 1.5 - 3.5x the power..... Patrick, I guess it all depends on what you're looking for. You're lucky to have the problem. At these levels I think it is hairsplitting differences as to whatever floats your boat. I am very driven by the dr

Vencer

Unsure whether that is correct or not, but it would an interesting visit. Meant to say, that Noble M600 reminds me a lot of the McLaren 12C in many ways. With the latter, whilst it wasn't so much that I disliked the design of the car, I just thought it wa

check the new 991 GT3

... unbeatable and for a buck. And we are talking about top car manufacture. On track, it did a better time of 1/10th better than the mclaren 12C, while it has 150hp less and its like 170kg heavier!! But that being said, i think that when you come on sign

what i meant...

... is that porsche 918 or laferrari or pagani huayra or the veyron, all these cars might be faster or perform better on track, etc... but if you see what you are getting for your money, i mean looks, performance, adrenaline, pleasure, etc... the aventado

McLaren announces a track only version of the 12C, bridging the gap between

McLaren announces a track only version of the 12C, bridging the gap between the mainly street 12C (though still highly track capable) and the hard core 12C GT3 and 12C GT Can-Am Edition. Designed by McLaren GT, the race car building arm of the McLaren Gro
