McLaren MP4-12C

Could this become the benchmark by which all other supercars are measured?

i just think it looks like crap, too many new super cars dont look like anything imo, the only new ones i actually like are yes 911's and morgans

What about the Ferrari 458:



That's quite nice too, and the wheelgap is acceptable. But agree with you James - too much of form following function I guess - all designed in a wind tunnel. Mind you the Alfa 8C is nice:

Alfa 8c is nom nom nom, would defo have one in the trust fund garage , but aside from a few new cars it would mostly be classics and racers for me, most new cars look deathly boring
