The forests of the world are in danger, more danger than ever before. Trees are going to be cut, pulped and made into shiny glossy posters of these three gods to keep the Mclaren F1 company on every gearhead’s walls. The automotive world was expecting a miracle, something to shut the green brigade up with, we all knew there was something in store, we even knew it was one of three companies who would answer the call, but what Geneva gave us, well, that was breathtaking. The Mclaren P1 , La Ferrari and The Lamborghini Veneno in the same city at the same time, like I said, trees are in imminent danger not from any of these cars, they are the cutting edge in green technology today, but from wall posters.… Read More…

F1 Successor (P1). Is it?
McLaren P1
Unveiled just 9 days ahead of the Paris motor show to be held on 27th September, 2012, McLaren P1 is here for you. Dripping with McLaren’s eye popping orange, the P1’s official pictures just spread like wildfire all over the internet. The images clearly showcased the car after its teaser videos so far. Looks?
