Chris Harris On Cars: "Living with the McLaren MP4-12C..."
"Five days in one of the most interesting sports cars ever made with Chris Harris. The 600hp McLaren MP4-12C mixes everyday usability with Millennium Falcon performance. We drive it everywhere from town-centre to race-track. And yes, we now want one rather desperately...."

Interesting that Harris brings it back to the day-to-day liveability that the McLaren has, and somewhat away from the track performance angle. I just don't know how many people that could afford the MP4-12C would actually use it in daily use, since they would also own other cars better suited for trundling around cities and towns. Still admire the car and hope McL has the fortitude to keep improving the reliability issues and be competitive in all aspects.

"McLaren 12C Spider" -- Chris Harris On Cars
Why did the 12C Spider drop its 'MP4'? Harris has the answer!
"A quick blast around the Ascari Race Resort in the new drop-top McLaren. Carbon tub should mean it loses very little over the Coupe. Latest engine spec gives 625hp!" -- Chris Harris
DRIVEN: MCLAREN MP4-12C SPIDER

I'm testing te 620 hp coupe Friday, if it's as I expect I'm ordering a spider
What a rig. Hope to get it in time for Suns (Malibu) run to Jackson this summer. My sense is this s the Malibu Jackson run rig of choice for Sun and I, although we may be the first to report on hundreds of miles of dirt and gravel road use.
i find all the talk of Ferraris superior asthetic to be highly amusing, its all pure conjecture. There is no quantifiable measure which factually puts the Ferrari ahead of the Mclaren in the looks department, its purely the personal preference of the person posting the comment.
I personally wouldnt buy the ferrari because, well to put it simply i think it looks ugly! That is quite simply my opinion, i know it will differ from some but equally others will agree. But for people to harp on about Ferrari having the better asthetic and wording it as fact need to open their eyes a little and accept that some people like brunettes instead of blondes.
Much as I loved all my scuds and strads, I could not agree more. Every time I go to buy A 458, the styling stops me. Very beverly hills designer, and just not something I can own. The spider is even worse than the italia
Imitally I disliked the mcl, but seeing it in motion and as a spider, If it drives when I try it Friday, I'm sold and ordering.
Before the star struck f fans freak out, please do remember lTs subjective opinion. Ten seconds on the n ring is not subjective however.

So when I think of a 458 I think of this tacky useless crap:
But today I test drove a spider Nero, plain black interior only bling silver stitching that reflects off the windshield. Amazing soak up of shitty road surfaces, cars worst ffeatures are hidden by black, like a strad it looks best in black. Much qquieter than a scud, but has same presence, and linear power above 7 is like a gt2 with no turbo softness. Certainly not worth $200 k more than a scud, but rather amusing still.
too bad the cars so slow relative the the mcl.... I may have to wait to test drive the mcl til Monday as it was raining today so I need to drive The 458 in the dry and with the top down. Darn it
Stumbled over this photo... a McLaren Special Operations MP4. Very aggressive and simply gorgeous! 
Porsche 997 Carrera S in Carrara White with black leather interior. PASM-Sport Suspension (-20 mm), PSE.
Audi S5 cabrio in Ibis White with black leather interior.
If I am not mistaken McLaren Special Operations is like Porsche's Exclusive department. I spot a new front spoiler, carbon hood, gills on top of the wheel arches, wider air intake on the side, different wheels.

Porker:
If I recall correctly Harry Metcalfe mentioned in last months's EVO that McLaren would soon launch a new -better looking- front-bumper design retrofitable to existing MP4's, this might be it?
This would be great. Front bumper has always been one of the weakest points of the MP4-12C-design IMO.
The secret of life is to admire without desiring.

They could use this design for the facelift version... If they also added some reasonable seats (for taller people, as comfortable as the Porsche carbon shells) the car would become more and more attractive
