Default McLaren SLR

Now that's a seriously cool place to put the start button. Wonder how long it will take before Rick Hesel starts making one...

I agree with the comments of the insider quoted in the piece - the side profile just looks wrong. All front and no back - all mouth and no trousers. Nah, I've changed my mind and won't get one now...

But that is an UGLY car. Another triumph of function over form?

I saw the SLR on the M25 2 weeks ago, I looked one mean mutha . It was slightly disguised with white and black tape. Thought it could have been the new SLK, but EVO magazine confirmed what I saw.

The front headlights look wicked.

I think it looks very impressive, but Mercedes have completely spoiled it's impact by nicking the styling for their own SL, which in various guises must be nearly as powerful as this McLaren motor.
