McLaren Redesigns Look Of P11 Supercar
August 29th, 2008
McLaren was not happy with the designs for the P11 supercar and have told the team to take scratch the whole thing and to start fresh and with a whole new look. The new styling sheif will be Frank Stephenson who has designed cars for Fiat, Ferrari, Mini, and BMW.

Spy Shots Of New McLaren Roadster?
August 12th, 2008
New spy shots have hit the internet displaying what looks to be a 722 Roadster from McLaren. The car was not camouflaged and has similarities to the 722 edition coupe. It was equipped with the dark grey 19” forged alloys that hide red brake calipers, a carbon fiber lip spoiler, and taillight clusters that have been darkened.
The convertible can be expected to carry the same 650-hp supercharged V8 as the 722 coupe, only with the nifty hard-soft top from the roadster. By the state of readiness evident from these spy shots, we’d venture that the 722 Roadster will appear before the Speedster.
