I find it so degrading for Ferrari. Ferrari has lost it. IMO the F80 is a lego car. What Gordon is designing and manufacturing are GREAT cars and like the original F1 time will prove that. For those that have the 288 GTO , F40 , Enzo , F50 AND LaFerrari enjoy and rejoice that you have the best Ferrari could make. The F80 is crap. The S1 GTR is THE CAR. Unfortunately one luck owner with 5 .

F1, F1 LM, F1 GT. There's three of them. Jokes aside, I hope the S1 LM was the final milking of the F1 from Gordon Murray. It's time for him to move on.
why would anyone move on from a great platform? It’s not like there’s 350 cars built it’s dozens in total. They are considered greatest ever and probably are. If I could afford just one S1 it would be the pinnacle. The fact they have this setup and can produce anything with this fantastic V12 is quite something. Milk away those frothy bags of juicy sweet milk boys for all that can participate!
What's wrong with the design if it works? Tell Porsche to move on from the 911. Chevy took how many years to move on from the front engine Corvette? They probably won't change the design much again going forward. Don't forget Jeep and Land Rover with their designs either. Oh yeah Gwagen, too.
Nothing is wrong with the design. What's wrong, in my opinion, is Gordon Murray continuing to milk a car designed at and for Mclaren, styled by Peter Stevens. The ones you mention are brand identities. The F1 design is not the identity of Gordon Murray Automotive. The T.50 was his "successor" to the F1, now he's made a modern take on the F1 GTR - albeit not designed by him either. Comes down to personal stands at the end of the day. I'd rather have seen the F1 left alone, and for GMA to have forged their own identity, instead of this constant return to the F1

I'm a big fan of the T50 and the T33. This new McLaren F1 redux does nothing for me. I thought Murray would do better than to rest on his laurels and make something so obviously derivative. The exterior is fine, if unremarkable next to the real thing, The interior is Pagani level of hideous. Money talks, as usual.
Anyone under 45 with serious cash levels looks at GMA as a Pattek (really FPJs) I got 6 unsolicited texts from people far far back in car life last week about the S1 saying it’s the greatest thing they ever saw and the desirability was untouched in today’s world. For all GMA product. It is what it is. The S1 is just one customers wishes, wait till you see what they can do it’s gonna shock the world going forward.
