    A friend of mine told me that the McLaren team is in the process of a new car. I don't know if will be another Mercedes or if it will be a new "F1." Anyone know anything about this?

    They are also working on the on-again, off-again plans for the P8 supercar project. Apparently this car would be more sports oriented and less of a GT car. It would be designed to be price competitive with the F430 and Gallardo, offering similar performance while using F1-like construction techniques. It won't be a successor to the original McLaren F1 in the true sense, but will be more like that car than the SLR proved to be.

    Unfortunatly Mercedes had pulled the p8 project because of reliability issues with thier sedans. I read an article saying that they took the engineers "toy" away. Basically rediverting funds and development to reliability issues. I hope it is back on again.
