in 95`McLaren LM got 680bhp and the only thing who stop it from 400km/h was the lenght of the track, by this days RUF CTR3 have 700bhp.....I really hope this new McLaren blast it got a decent engine and not a mercedes one...i also spect the seat in the center

Why do they need to replanc the McLaren F1? I think Mercedes is putting McLaren up to do this and, if that this car does go through, it'll have Mercedes written all over it, like with the SLR. The F1 simply cannot be replaced, or bettered for that matter, if Mercedes has anything to do with it.

carolinaluvr101: That would be a logical thought... if only Mercedes was still working with McLaren.

Wolkswagen is spending 6.500.000 euros on every Veyron to produce it and than is selling it on 1.2 mil. They only wanted to prove that this performance is achievable. I really don't think the McLaren can beat the Veyron.It's simply to expensive. This is why these kind of brands can't make it on their own.

look's like mclaren teamed up with audi instead of mercedes-benz.i hope they show the top speed of the car soon so we can see if it is as the Bugatti veyron or even the Aero tt which would be even better cause the inside of the aero tt is rotten.

Mercedes will only supply the engine to McLaren for the car and will have zero input into the car's design (except maybe in the area of safety). The car will be badged as a McLaren, not a Mercedes-McLaren.
Furthermore, the new car is about usable performance on roads. Just bear in mind that the Ferrari F430 Scuderia is faster than the Enzo around Fiorano. McLaren is no longer gunning for outright top speed honours.

Wunderkind..I agree with you. Just like Gordon Murphy said, "it's all about the package."
Though McLaren has its work cutout. The McLaren F1 is still regarded as the best ever and it would be hard to top that.
It's not about topspeed anymore. A Veyron can never compete with a Porche GT or an Enzo on track, though it got that awesome straightline speed.

the important thing about the F1 (especially the 5 LM models) was that they were untouchable in top speed, acceleration AND around a track for over a decade. to do that again itd need to hit 62 in 2.0 seconds, lap the 'Ring in sub-7s and approach 300 mph. hell, it might be possible, IF mclaren has the money, which i doubt. the could charge whatever the hell they wanted - the last LM changed hands for US$8.2 million, so itd have a market, even if only a small one...
