    Default McLaren MP4-12C Hennessey HPE800

    http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/hpe800-12c.html

    Can wait to see pictures of an actual car, and not just renderings. Interesting non-the-less.

    EDIT: Link fixed

    The front looks pretty great, the wheels look awesome, the back however... I would do differently, not feeling the exhaust. Great overall change though. I really like it.

    I think Hennessey make some good products but being that the car is a Mclaren and with Mclaren being who are they regarding F1 and how they took there knowledge and apply it to the 12C. I think with the extents and methods the 12C were taken in order to design the car I think changing the likes of the front fascia along with other components maybe, this may actually hurt the car of performance in some aspect. I'm saying this in respect to how they've built the car. I'm sure they built the 12C with the same approach they build there F1 cars to some sort of an extent.

    The car looks good with HPE's ideas, don't get me wrong. But this is just my .02 when thinking who and what Mclaren are. I'm not disrespecting HPE by making this point or doubting there ability to produce and modify a car, despite what that car maybe. I just don't think there is much you can really improve upon regarding that car, in my opinion.

    I'm sure it could be with major modification but it would change the car drastically from what it was primarily intended to be.

    AlexLx1 this is not just directly to you, but to a lot of people whom share the same view as yourself.

    Why does everyone but McLaren on such a high pedistal? I mean don't get me wrong, I love McLaren and the new 12C is tits but Ferrari also has a long and rich pedigree when it comes to F1 but people don't seem to take such offense when a tuner comes out and modifies it (aside from Man I"m Sorry )

    We're all car guys, and as much as we all love cars there is always someone that wants to improve on their factory car.
    I don't know which is better getting paid or getting laid, all I know is while I'm doing one the others getting away.
