I don`t like it either. I would not expect such a design from a high tech company as McLaren where design follows function. I guess Gordon Murray would probably not design it in this way.
However I believe it is a smart project, this car will be worth a lot of money in 10-15 years. The design is intentionally controversial in order to make the car very special and memorable.
Someone compared it to Jim Glickenhaus P 4/5 , I don`t think it is the same thing though. The P4/5 has links with Ferrari racing history while this McLaren (by the words of his designer Frank Stephenson) used 5 very different cars as an inspiration for the design .
