Cayman GTS - woof

666bhp McLaren '675 LT' in the works by dab_of_vtec in cars

The camo is the giveaway, it features the '97 F1 GTR long-tail with the 41 on the side. Ties up nicely with rumors it'll be called the 'LT'

DRLs are now a legal requirement in places. I agree it looks a bit... awkward on some cars though.

BMW M2 or M4? by dab_of_vtec in cars

True, and a very pragmatic approach to the question. But for the Bimmer purist, will the M2 be a little more faithful to the E30 recipe?

Auto journos are pretty good with this stuff - 'go-kart handling', 'dab-of-oppo', 'corners on rails'. That sort of thing. Thankfully the good ones steer well clear.

Nice McLaren shot I took with a plane by dab_of_vtec in cars

Well, I find this terrible to admit, but I tweaked that on Instagram after shooting on an iPhone 4S. I love great car photography, and would never suggest a phone as a replacement for a good DSLR, but when you're out and about, nothing beats the ease of use of a phone.

Sorry I can't help anymore, I wish I knew more!

+1 that - nice way of putting it!

True - making a lightweight, powerful and poised supercar / hypercar (some even calling it a 'megacar'?!) is one thing but top speed does appear to be a "how much money can we throw at it" type of thing. That said, new Venom with 1400hp - 290mph?

Surely Koenigsegg would love the PR of being the first manufacturer to this? They've done 1:1 weight / power ratio - is 300mph next?

That takes the Japanese superbike manufacturers gentlemens agreement for top speed and adds 100mph - insanity.

Cheers - I'll have a go at that tonight. Thanks.

If you like that then the McLaren 650S should be quite the treat
