Nice!

well I think it is, the car is the new McLaren, Due on sale in 2010, the incredible machine is gunning for Ferrari’s F430 and the Lamborghini Gallardo with a price tag of between £150,000 and £200,000 called the P11, it will weigh around 1,250kg, a mid-mounted 6.2-litre V8 sourced from F1 engine supplier Mercedes will drive the rear wheels via a semi-automatic transmission, complete with steering wheel paddleshifters, boosted by a turbocharger, the AMG-tuned powerplant will produce at least 500bhp, and thanks to the car’s low kerbweight, it’s expected to accelerate from 0-60mph in less than four seconds and post a top speed of 200mph, carbon brakes will make sure it stops as well as it goes, “I am confident that now is the right time for McLaren Automotive,” said chairman Ron Dennis. McLaren wants to employ 800 staff, making 4,000 cars a year, I wonder when we will see the first one out here? and yes I want one!
