You're either at Le Mans, or waiting for Le Mans!

All I get is the message ------------- "This content doesn't seem to be working. Try again later"

A bit like their F1 car then.

Ron D has said he intends to see it on track. The interview with him was in either the Times or Telegraph at the weekend.

Stupid non-memorable name.

"We want it to sound like our race cars"

More like we lack imagination.

What's wrong with calling it the McLaren "ChristThisIsVeryFast"?

pah - looks a bit tame to me.  It kind of reminds me of a cross between an XJ220 and a Civic Type R.

Well, I was at the 'Ring a couple of weeks ago and there was a camoflagued MP4-12C running around (presumably the same as on http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/mclaren-mp4-12c-named/242941/pictures/mclaren-mp4-12c-named.aspx)

It might look tame but it sounded the dog's cohonas!

I reckon it looks a bit like a cross between an Audi R8 and a Honda NSX (with shades of the original McLaren F1 rear styling too), especially from these angles:
