Keenan CasteelSep 19, 2012 According to TopGear.com, this is the preproduction model. The final one will be revealed in 2013 and then the car will go on sale 12 months later. So I think we're looking at a 2014 release...
John SerelySep 19, 2012 Previewed as a design study? I guess this isn't the final one yet...
Redge DiakitéSep 19, 2012 I think IMO that you can say hypercar for the P1 like the McLaren F1
Evan DickinsonSep 19, 2012 I didn't see this coming from a mile away. *sarcasm*
JvSep 20, 2012 I like it too, can't wait to see the specs.
Ben AugustSep 20, 2012 This thing is surely a case of function over form... But the form is also there. I like it!
Nate VongshotivatSep 20, 2012 @Asad F1 is stand for raw power, pure driving experience and no compromise driver's car not the number.
Asad YusufzaiSep 20, 2012 Its a thing of beauty but the f1 was a thing of numbers . It's got alot of heritage to stand for so it will be the biggest revival or the biggest flop of the year. Both this and thr new f70 got alt to compare against
Wyatt GordonSep 19, 2012 alright, it's definately original. I think I like it, it is certaintly a lot less boring looking than the MP4, this has got some pretty mice curves. I want to see it in white or blue though, I've always disliked orange. and I'm not sure about the roof scoop
Jon AshleySep 19, 2012 looks interesting, but I think it needs to settle in. I give McLaren originality points though.
Jeff LinkSep 19, 2012 Looks dumb. I don't like it.
Mark A. YoungSep 19, 2012 Looks like a MP4-12C Loony Tunes edition.
William DownsSep 19, 2012 @spiros... How can u even pass judgement on weather it's a worthy successor or not when we have nothing but a picture
Jeyhoon JahanroshanSep 19, 2012 absolutely beautiful! like the color a lot on this beast
Joshua Minh TranSep 19, 2012 Well one things for sure...the cars happy about something.
Preston MingSep 19, 2012 wow! this car is just stupid sexy! I'm really surprised by the mixed reaction though
Jorge GonzalezSep 19, 2012 Dam this is a crazy car. I don't even know what to say about it.
Colby ChurchSep 19, 2012 Everyone has different taste, but I think Mclaren did a great job designing the F1 successor. This car will go down in history, just wait. Thumbs up Mclaren, keep making strikingly sexy cars with mind blowing performance and I'll keep loving them.
Dillon MageeSep 19, 2012 Looks fantastic. I cannot wait for specs to be revealed.
Spiros ManessisSep 19, 2012 Now we realize how difficult task was to design the successor of Mclaren F1. Would be nice as a new model, however, not up to the task as a successor of F1. My humble opinion of course ...
Roggina FrogginaSep 19, 2012 Unfortunately, this won't be naturally aspirated like the F1. Too bad really. N/A is true engineering.
Pablo HerasmeSep 19, 2012 Wtf are you guys smoking, this looks good,
Genci SallabandaSep 19, 2012 Still think that the F1 is the best looking Mclaren. But this looks awsome too.
What a battle will be against the new Ferarri F70.
Ricardo AzinhagaSep 19, 2012 I'm serious in love with this car, it is just stunning. It's one of those occasions where u love it or hate it.
Tyler TarboxSep 19, 2012 Looks like a combination of an MP4-12C and the new Porsche 918
Wmg ChinchillaSep 19, 2012 Looks incredible! And it will look better and better the more it grows on me.
Ryan SpencerSep 19, 2012 I can tell already: this is one of those cars that I'm not sure about for the first couple days, then it'll grow on me, and I'll end up with a poster of it somewhere in the house...
William DownsSep 19, 2012 Love this thing, looks soooo nice, having trouble choosing what looks better this or the agera... So many good cars are coming out
Michael MitnikSep 19, 2012 I love the look of this car. Clearly it is very happy to be the offspring of the legendary F1. I feel this looks like a futuristic F1. While it won't be as fast as its father how can you not love that face :P
Curtis ClaytonSep 19, 2012 I love the McLaren logo shaped headlights.
Guo-Sheng HuangSep 19, 2012 I hope they have good reasons for all the busy designs. Like the F1 better.
Harrison ArmstrongSep 19, 2012 Ooh I'm so excited to see this baby in action! I got the newsletter yesterday and just new this was going to be the top CarBuzz news.
Tim PreisingerSep 19, 2012 It's a little too busy for me. But I still think it looks pretty good
Matthew MckernanSep 19, 2012 ...looks unproportional to the rest of the car. I was expecting it to be a little more restrained, and I know cars like this are supposed to be crazy and flamboyant, but this just doesn't look completely right to me.
Matthew MckernanSep 19, 2012 I think it looks okay, but I'm not a huge fan of it. I mean it has some really cool and interesting designs queues, but the thing as a whole just doesn't look right. To me it seems like they kind of over did it. And the size of the cockpit just...
Dillon DixonSep 19, 2012 I see what your saying Patrick, but I think that's part of why I love it. This has a similar shape to the Zonda, but looks so different at the same time.
Abraham MendozaSep 19, 2012 I totally agree with Patrick, the windshield looks rather large. Rye rear end is what seals the deal for me.
David JusticeSep 19, 2012 The side of the car look very busy, but I like it.
Patrick SchalkSep 19, 2012 I like it, but from this angle it looks like the car is all cabin. Proportionately, it's not pleasing to my eye yet.
Erich EngelSep 19, 2012 I think it's not attractive but why no center lock wheels?
John SerelySep 19, 2012 I think it looks good. It's kinds crazy-looking, which IMO is a great thing. I love how the mclaren logo is the headlights
Matt PiccoloSep 19, 2012 That looks fricken sweet! Love it!
Kwesi Desmond PrempehSep 19, 2012 If its good enough for Connor it's good enough for me. We all know he's not the easiest to please!!! Lol
Barry Boo WilsonSep 19, 2012 And agreed with someone below white is going to be sick.
Barry Boo WilsonSep 19, 2012 Leave the honeycomb out of the rear end and it is awesome!
Dillon DixonSep 19, 2012 I wouldn't call myself a major mclaren fan, but this right here has changed me. This is one amazing looking car. I don't want them to change a thing!
Sam PannSep 19, 2012 Look like RX-7 in Tokyo Drift...
Emil Creed KleijsenSep 19, 2012 This is how a successor is to be made, it has a really strong recemblence to the F1 but modern, I like it
Clay WilliamsSep 19, 2012 I'm really disappointed, the bumper and "grill" are bad the side panels are bad and the entire back end is bad. Maybe I'll have to see it in person but right now I'm a little mad.
Hemmo KarjaSep 19, 2012 If i only could afford one in white... Man i love this car.
Matty MichaelsSep 19, 2012 I love the blue in the lights.
omarSVSep 19, 2012 Im with Paul Dickey, Im kinda dissapointed too. Its a unique looking car for sure, and I know it would get alot of attention on the street, but it doesnt 'look' like one of the fastest supercars of all time uno? It doesnt look aggressive (Aventador), beefy (Veyron), or beautiful (One-77) either. McLaren have said that the design will change as they develop the vehicle during the next 12months thou...
Ben AugustSep 19, 2012 From this viewpoint, the front of the P1 looks badass, so is mid; but the rear (from here) looks kind of odd.
Luke PurdySep 19, 2012 This looks awesome for some reason.... Very much a supercar design
Carlos Gallego RodriguezSep 19, 2012 Ok, so after the sensible design in the Mp4-12C i'm gonna say that i'm surprised. But i like it
Paul LissonaSep 19, 2012 Bumpers that have the huge black contrast.
Paul LissonaSep 19, 2012 Idk why car companies make the front b
Paul LissonaSep 19, 2012 The front looks Mazdaish ha like a Mazda3.
Paul DickeySep 19, 2012 Ok a little disappointed. Perhaps it'll grow on me

Jackson BondSep 20, 2012 It's amazing, but it takes less skill and balls to drive fast than a Ferrari f40 or a super car without the electronic aids
Tin NguyenSep 19, 2012 Wow the f1 is almost 20 yr old... Still one of the fastest cars even in today standard.
Colby ChurchSep 19, 2012 @Tim I agree completely. And this car is going to do everything well I'm sure. So it doesn't have a 280mph top speed, who cares? I bet it'll be a monster on the track.
Tim PreisingerSep 19, 2012 Who really cares about top end. How many tracks on EARTH can cars of this nature even come close to maxing out top speed. 1/4 mile times, 0-150mpg times, handling and braking are much more important
Barry Boo WilsonSep 19, 2012 Kinda what they said all along. You not believe them or something? They were not going for top end.
Skylar DrakeSep 19, 2012 Admitting the P1 is not the fastest car in the world possibly?

Ben NortonSep 19, 2012 Most technologically advanced and best drivers car really don't seem to go together
Nate VongshotivatSep 19, 2012 Let's see this P1 can beat G. Murray creation in term of driving experience or not ?!!!
Theviper007Sep 21, 2012 Better than the.x1 this cars gonna be awesome
Dennis ChoongSep 20, 2012 Knowing McLaren's expertise, there's some serious aero works here. I'm undecided about its look but there's no doubt about its performance
Serge PankratovSep 20, 2012 Love dat ass except im not sure if i like the ultra thinn lights.. Everythin else is just plain awesomeness!
Wyatt GordonSep 19, 2012 again, I dislike the color so much its hard to tell. I like the curvyness though, im tired of all this wedge shaped koenigsegg/Datsun GTR shit. curves need to come back
Miranda Nearlydriftingondreams PavelleSep 19, 2012 I've fallen in love again... I hope fate is nice to me and I can see one of these at the Detroit auto show. Or if fate is on my side even more, and luck... FREAKING OWN ONE!!!
Ben AugustSep 19, 2012 The dip in the rear deck line begs to be filled with a GT class spoiler. Doesn't it? Like that 12C GT whatever it was called? The dip is kind of odd otherwise. Wheres the downforce coming from?
Siya FadaneSep 19, 2012 Seem to hate the too futuristic look "bmw i8" but this kinda makes it not too bad
Colby ChurchSep 19, 2012 Wow... I've seen a lot of cars, and this looks.... stunning. Hats off to Mclaren, I love their styling team. This is completely original and it is beautiful and so different than what I'm used to seeing. Good job Mclaren, this is truly breathtaking.
Garrett FryeSep 19, 2012 I think this is one o the best rear ends I've ever seen on a car.
Andrew SemakSep 19, 2012 I'm not sure if I like that. Maybe it has to grow on me.
Dylan BruderSep 19, 2012 I'm not sure on how I feel about this yet
Zeus MochaSep 19, 2012 This is very different, it looks stunning.
Nick SchneeSep 19, 2012 Okay, I'm still not quite sure about the front (although I kinda seem to like it) but the rear and the side views are out-of-the-world AWESOME.
Abraham MendozaSep 19, 2012 It looks worlds better than the MP4.
Alex O'BrianSep 19, 2012 Am i the only one who didnt like it?
David JusticeSep 19, 2012 Whoa, forget what I said on the other page about the sides of the car being too busy. Compared to the back the sides are pretty damn plain. Haha. Still like it tho.
John Kyle DoggettSep 19, 2012 This is the best angle of the three pictures IMO. Can't really make a full opinion on the car without specs and reviews and tbh I'd have to drive one to make a true opinion but I highly doubt that'll ever happen
William DownsSep 19, 2012 No, mclaren said forever ago it wasn't gonna be a center seat
Oscar GalvanSep 19, 2012 I wonder if the production doors will open normally, lambo style, or f1 style.
Bennie Andthe JetsSep 19, 2012 Looks crazy good, like the cars I doodled in high school
Matthew TaiSep 19, 2012 Looks good, but did they say if the steering position would be in the center, I wasn't reading
Dylan BruderSep 19, 2012 Never would have thought of the autobacs comparison but your right
Alex O'BrianSep 19, 2012 imo the best looking mclaren is the one from the 90's
Patrick SchalkSep 19, 2012 This looks much better. I like this. I wanna see it in blue, red, and yellow.
Das StigSep 19, 2012 I think it would look are with a big wing. it provably needs one too.
Matt PiccoloSep 19, 2012 I'm really liking this! Good job Mclaren
Dillon DixonSep 19, 2012 I would love a pic like this where the reflection on the floor is the F1. This is how you create a successor. Great job mclaren!
Carlton SalmonSep 19, 2012 Really liking the F1-like profile. Just need to refine a few details and it's a thumbs up from me.
ugly goldfish fail
According to TopGear.com, this is the preproduction model. The final one will be revealed in 2013 and then the car will go on sale 12 months later. So I think we're looking at a 2014 release...
