    Very cool - once you are done with your choices and have saved the selection it will produce a .PDF for you to download showing some images and all the options you chose. :cool:

    On my first attempt I went for Azure Blue and pretty much ticked all the boxes except for snow tires. They also offer a wallpaper of the car you put together, but it only shows the front 3/4 view.

    They should make it so you can hide the little menus on each screen and just see the car. That's about my only complaint besides the fact that the car will be priced out of my budget. :(

    Car is FUGLY, but it's always fun to play around with a configurator :)

    Damn - they sure do. It just wasn't that obvious tucked up in the corner like that.

    Or I am not awake yet. :D

    Do they have an option where you can get rid of that front and rear black grill?

    So they have 3 standard colors and everything else is "extra cost" -- even black? Geez even Ferrari isn't that blantant in pyling on the option money.

    Did you PS the orange lip?

    The superlight wheels are the only option in my opinion.

    Nope he did not. In addition to being available in bare carbon and painted body color, you can also specify a contrasting paint choice for the front lip. I like the idea, but there's nothing else on the exterior of the car that also allows for that - mirrors, side skirts, rear valance and maybe the rear wing would be good additional choices. I think with just the lip a different color it doesn't quite work for me.

    I'd much rather have this car than the 458, just my personal taste though. I like everything about it... except the price, but I knew I couldn't afford it anyway :)

    Thanks for answering. I completely forgot about this thread :D

    The mirrors should have had contrasting color as well :)

    I've put together a couple more for myself since the configuration tool appeared online. Here's the other versions I'd consider if I were in line to purchase.

    I am so excited about this car! Finally, a perfect competitor to Ferrari.

    Nothing against Porsche or Lambo. But Ferrari and McLaren have been locked in a pitched battle for decades on the F1 track and to finally have it overflow onto street cars in a meaningful way is more than I can stand!!!!!
