Not sheduled for release until 2011, the new (and orange) McLaren MP4 is looking stunning as you would expect. Inspired by the McLaren F1 cars, its shape and looks are going to match the power that is yet to be unveiled. The technology coming with this car is going to be completely unique. The gear changing system, the way the doors open are all going to give owners something truely special.

An adaptation of the paddle gear box has be redesigned and included behind the steering wheel, to change up a gear you push with the right hand and to change down a gear you pull the other side, neat eh?

Good news about the supercar is that there is an estimate of 4,500 being made, making many owners very happy (those that can afford one, and the insurance).

Now that the deal is going ahead, Great Britain and its drivers will always have a Great British Grand Prix track to come home to at some point in the F1 Season. For people that know Silverstone and maybe even raced their cars on it know of its history and how much it will bring to have it re-developed onto the Formula 1 Calendar.

The most you can spend on a rear wing, body section and cover for the engine is around £4,000. The rest of the parts vary from £175 upwards. A good idea for a team not performing that well this season.
