McLaren's 200mph supercar
"The McLaren F1 was the greatest road car of all time," says Top Gear. "Now, its successor, the MP4-12C, has arrived. You should be excited."
The mid-engined car is powered by an all-new, 3.8-litre, twin-turbo V8, which produces 600bhp.Expect a 0-60mph time near three seconds and a top speed in excess of 200mph.
Prices should start at just under £150,000 when it goes on sale in 2011. Compared with the old F1, that's "a bargain".
It's basically all the best bits of the F1 wrapped up in a car you can actually use on the road, says Joseph Dunn in The Sunday Times. It will be "the final word in supercar excess".
The interior has a futuristic feel, says Dunn, and has all modern creature comforts, including a wi-fi connection.
There are supercar touches such as gullwing doors, but the looks are otherwise clean and simple, says Top Gear.
