Sources say the new model is likely to produce around 960bhp with the help of a Formula 1-style kinetic energy recovery system (KERS).

The really heartening thing about this concept is that it's distinct looking. For all the MP's prowess, it fades into the background in Supercar lineups.

Good News! The Dacia Sandero still isn't coming to the US!

I must've missed the good news part.

But Dacia Logan is coming ... to Mexico. I might be able to import one to the USA.

Not a fan. Even if it is a better performer than the F1, it doesn't look good from the over done carbon fiber to the mclaren logo shaped headlamps.

I agree, it almost looks like a Hot Wheels car.

Interesting, evocative and exciting, but a bit overdone/styled in areas (the convoluted back especially) and not the classic that the F1 was and is.

I like the performance figures, but the style is missing something. From that front 3/4 view it looks like the car doesnt have a tail end at all!

Pretty "out there" design... pretty cool, but too much art, not enough car.

You would have to assume the CG on that must be insanely low with how little there is up top. Crazy...

Overall profile reminds me of the F1. Front and rear are ick. And I thought Mazdas had a big smiley face...
