New Gordon Murray Designed Supercar Costs Over £2m...

Side note: I'm getting really bored of everyone saying he invented the fan car idea.

Chaparral did that in Can-Am years before.

Only 2m? I'll take 3 then

Perhaps you are actually Ralph Lauren? He bought 3 McLaren F1s too.

New Corvette C8, rumored base price $62,000.00, 550 HP, mid-engine......... a mere $1.94 million less, tough choice.

Ah yes, the classic stir the pot comment. You must lead an interesting life, never really understanding any conversation around you and hearing only the voice in your head.

And this will weight how many tons?

I fear it will encounter some road-safety issue: IIRC one of the reasons the fan system was abolished from racing is that it used to collect dirt and small stones from the grount and "shoot" them to following cars.
Hope they've taken this into account and somehow managed to reduce the problem otherwise it might become impossible to omologate in some countries.

An optional switch to turn it off and extensive mesh shielding on the intake would solve that

I wonder where the V12 is coming from?

Cosworth in collaboration with GMA - I'm guessing GM in GMA stands for Gordon Murray?

Actually I've always liked the P1, the Senna is the McLaren car that seems to divide people the most. To me the Senna is purposeful and aggressive in it's design (winglets, scoops, large spoilers, etc.) but I wouldn't call it attractive or a pretty supercar. Whereas the P1 is more sculpted and graceful. To me anyway

The P1 is obviously really nice, I like it, but Mclaren definitely sacrificed more beauty for performance, especially the back, than Ferrari. I mean all sorts of pistons and "stuff" sticking out. The wing being 20 feet high. Etc.

Well, maybe should calc. price per ton..........

Hm. Now he did design the latest TVR too... ( incidentally probably a better thing to compare a C8 against ).

This should be up against the Mclaren Speedtail, interesting times. Whoever suggested he belomgs at Ferrari, god what an insult - modern Ferrari top end cars look like hideous overstyled toys & the latest one lpoks like they took a random selection of body parts & crunched it all together.

Will the be doing an early access plan i would definitely drop £15 on this!

It's a shame what that beautiful 458 has morphed into
