so can you possibly explain to how this is "further" details? all i see is a little bit of the design cues and when its going to be released. dammit, i want to know which engine they'll be using. i can't even tell by the engine note in the video of what it is. it sounds V6ish and doesn't have that V8 growl that has been said to be powering this. or maybe its a V8 and we didn't hear the full note of the engine because it wasn't at WOT.

If my memory serves me from previous articles then it's the AMG 6.2 litre mill. State of tune to vary I guess between versions.

I'd say how many will be made, when, where, how much it'll cost to make them and the jobs they'll create are plenty more detail. You don't think so?

Elmo187, dont forget about the part where they mentioned the use of KERS, and that you should learn how to read... :(

@Bristol i know this. but even the 6.2 AMG has this low, deep, rumble about it at idle and half-throttle. @thamzn what i said was what i consider as my own "summary" lol. i covered when, and i read about how many will be made each year. but i could really care less about things OUTSIDE of the car itself. how many jobs will be made doesn't really let me know what's going on with the car. @Jerry thanks, dick. i forgot about that. and what use would KERS be in a road car? if McLaren is looking to make this a trackday monster, then yes, KERS would be great. but i don't see use for it when you have an already powerful enough engine to pass slower cars on the road.

Really? I completely missed that. What's powering it now then? Daimler do still own a big chunk (40%?) of McLaren Group though, right?

just because Mercedes-Benz and McLaren have split ways, DOES NOT mean they can stop using their engines. its just an engine and possibly a tranny, nothing else will be even remotely related to a Mercedes-Benz. if McLaren is willing to fork over money for a Merc powerplant, i'm pretty sure Merc will give up the engine.

What's the point of a supercar that would lap N-ring under 7:20 only once? Don't you want reliable cars? That's why they go those places.

elmo, there are other engine manufacturers out-there...

your point? McLaren isn't prohibited from purchasing components from Mercedes-Benz. they're just not working together anymore on any other projects, that's all. and could you possibly show me where Gordon Murray said anything about him not wanting to work with MB anymore? because from what i remember reading is that the split was from money issues just like every other manufacturer on the planet.
