Did you actually watch the video? While you were awake? I ran it at 2x speed, but I managed to catch that it wasn’t even a prototype, more of a technology mockup. You can play with some stuff, but you can’t drive it because there’s no engine in it.

The F1 is still the daddy, and IIRC still the fastest car in the world, with a naturally aspirated engine.

Love the crazy hypercar stuff, but I'd be more than happy with a 570S or an Artura.

"F1" sounds fast.

"W1" sounds like it has wood spoke wheels and a hand crank start.

Where have you guys been? Don't you know that "two is one and one is none?" How could someone call themselves a man with only one McLaren in their garage? The shame of it!

Seems ripe for another SF group buy. As before, I will volunteer to provide a home for the purchase(s). That's just the kind of guy I am!

I love the design lines of McLaren.

Looking forward to what kind of performance it'll actually do.

Hopefully these aren't huge. Here's a few shots of the car in McLaren Papaya Orange

Yes I watched it. Come back when the damn thing has an engine and can actually drive. 30 min to show off a tech demonstration?
