    No way this thing is 200k...they would leave so much $ on the table. Look at all the 488 sales despite being an also ran.

    More likely to be 250,000 pounds 350 k USD or even closer to the Pista pricing.

    120 degrees? Isn’t that kind of a big deal?

    Not feeling it myself, but will be interesting to see if there is a significant market for it...

    I need to see it but they will sell a ton. This and the suv will make ferrari for the masses.

    If they're making a 700hp car to fight Artura, which is the successor to 570S, then what happens to the 488 successor? o_O

    The real successor to the F8 is the SF90 being a V8.

    By making the LB Ferrari has created and new level. All that Maclaren has done is to make a LB competitor.

    Until McLaren makes a V8 / electric it will be the 765 vs SF90

    Ferrari unlike McLaren will have 2 production cars a V8 and V6.

    Would make sense since SF90 is over 1,000hp. LB would have to have more power than Pista (not least because it’s probably heavier) just for bragging rights. Every manufacturer plays the hp game.

    Some time ago it was speculated that the V6 alone will have around 700 hp.

    Just to follow up on this, here is a link to a very interesting and technical explanation why it is dangerous to automatically assume carbon is good, aluminium is bad. This guy is talking in the context of cycles but it’s not too difficult a jump to see that his points are also relevant to the auto industry. McLaren’s tub is not from carbon layers either, it is from mashed-up carbon - cheaper but much shorter carbon strands, therefore I’m guessing less inherently stiff, perhaps more epoxy as a percentage. I remember reading somewhere, from someone who knew the exact figures, that the GPa stiffness of 458 tub and 12C tub are not too different, but the 12C tub weight is a bit less. The tub weight saving is probably not that significant across the whole car but better to have it than not. I don’t think we should automatically consider aluminium construction as old technology though.

    I don’t think McL use the mashed-up fiber—Lambo do with the Aventador, I think and McL looks like they do for some of the bodywork cladding—but they do use RTM which is not as optimized, weight-wise as the more costly autoclave/vacuum method used in F1 for example.

    Also, a lot of any stiffness advantage comes from using the deep and wide door sills. As I noted, the A-pillars and roof look to be aluminum.

    More then the power im curious about the V6 LB and the Artura.
    I can pretty much guess who is the ligther and because of that the faster...
    And yes. theres no need for Carbon chassis because as long as it has a Ferrari badge some people just swallow everything.

    Well, the Ferrari badge isn’t entirely meaningless ...

    No regenerative braking. Hydraulic steering. Low weight. It seems to me that McLaren is trying hard to preserve the feel and dynamics of a traditional sports car.
