New McLaren F1 in 2012??

Autocar is reporting that McLaren will be introducing the successor to the incredible F1 supercar in 2012 even though McLaren had said the new beast wouldn't surface until 2014 at the earliest, thanks largely to the company's efforts with the all-new MP4-12C. Instead, the Autocar say that unnamed McLaren insiders have let it slip that the company is feverishly working on the new machine, going so far as to say that it will be "revolutionary" in both styling and performance. We would expect nothing less.

I won't embarrass you by posting Autocars effort of a rendering, as it look like its done by a 5 year old.

I've seen one on the road this week..... i thought they were out.

Black - 10 plate driving through a place called West End in Surrey, which is close to Woking. Had a good look at it as was sat in traffic as it came towards me. (Thought it was a fezza at first).

One thing that struck me was that it was very quiet, although they were only doing about 10 mph.

They do seem to be very quiet - just wait for the aftermarket exhaust systems!
