Thank you, makes my day (birthday in fact!). May be my best race souvenir is 24 Hrs of Spa in '76 when pure amateurs could race against the works teams. Those were the happy days!

Happy Birthday Gerard. Enjoy. I will raise a glass of red this evening. (About an hour away for me now).

Also at least you are able to post a nice photo of your car at Le Mans as your avatar pic.

Thanks Nabu! The Huracan is totally outdated then. The new V8 biturbo is announced as being vibration-free. What to do in this case? The answer is that they fitted buzzers in the seats so that occupants can feel the effects of acceleration! Really a must have feature when doing 0-100 kph in 2,7 seconds. Shake it baby!

Lightweight compared to some - I was listening to The Intercooler podcast today and they quoted the new Mercedes C63 AMG at 2100kg and the new M5 Touring at 2400kg!

The weight of an average van! That's why when people have the opportunity to test drive a youngtimer, they're often surprised by the drivability of those old things. A 205 GTI and many others are still enjoyable.

Lightweight for the papaya car! The warranty terms are impressive. The first thing you see when opening the door is a tyre. Stunning.

Considering the rumours about the reliability of some of their previous models, the warranty may not be all that impressive!

Yes, they are doing a strategy of several limited production cars, and most of them are unsuccessful.

How do you define "unsuccessful" ? If McLaren pre-sell all the proposed production run, then surely it must be considered as successful?

Making enough from them to not need infusions of cash. Sadly McLaren has needed that multiple times with the old we'll buy your old one back if you upgrade program. I've heard it mentioned but zero detail about how it actually worked but supposed to cost them a pretty penny. Also no idea what part of McLaren was burning the money, cars could make money but F1 and Indy taking more to run than the cars make would be net negative

No opinion about the style tbh, but the numbers are really promising. 1200 hp and only 1525 kilos, including electric motors and battery, they've been working hard.

A review on that unbiased site called Jalopnik says "The Ferrari F80 sounds like ass", but that's OK because the writer will never own one!
