It is a gr8 car. Rumor had it for a while that MB and Mclaren will be breaking up soon. The body is McLaren built and the engine is built by MB. MB claimed that Mclaren had jacked up the cost and MB thought there was not enough profit in the car. So at this point I don't know what's going on. But the car is terrific. However for that kind of money I would buy the Carrera GT.
