McLaren!

Check it out!

A great holiday background gift for your computer is available at http://www.mclarenautomotive.com. Click on the gallery and then download the front 3/4 view of the new MP4-12C. It is, for my money, the best-looking sports car to come out in years, and makes me smile every time I log on. Long known for their success on the track, McLaren does not come out with a new car every year. Jay Leno has already penned a column for Britain's "Car" magazine on why he wants one of these supercars. McLaren has been stingy with details, but Car magazine says we should look for a 600 horsepower turbo V6 with 0-60 in about three-seconds. The price? Well, if ya gotta ask???

Better than the Lexus LF-A, no contest. LF-A looks and projected performance in comparison = Lol Freakin' - Absurd for the price.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I read somewhere that MP4-12C is powered by a 3.8L twin-turbo V8.
Base price is between $220,000 and $250,000.

Isn't that this car?

Definitely TT V8 if you look at the "exploded" graphic on the site.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is it.

I do love this car..the exit position of the exhaust is devine. The rear of this car is my favorite view of it. She really is a beauty BUT and this is a big one. I'd stll rather own an Aston which for my money is the best looking car on the planet hands down.
However I'd sure not kick this McLaren out of bed..but i'd like to throttle the guy who named it.

Oh hell yeah, there's nothing sexier than an Aston Martin!
