Picked this up at the weekend
My new Jet Fighter for the road McLaren 720S Performance
It goes like one, and the glass canopy makes me feel like I'm sitting in a jet fighter too! Before anyone asks, I my i8, and am of course keeping it too. Just some quick phone pics for now. I will take better ones when it's back from the detailer. It actually looks a lot better in the metal than in pics, as you can't see many of the small aero details and hidden channels in pics. Looks like it's on fire when the sun shines on it. The effect is far stronger in the metal, than on video. |

Thanks guys
It is missing some things we take for granted in an i8 though: HUD, cabin precondition, app for tracker. ….and fuel economy |

Interesting about the HUD. I've been surprised how many great, high-end cars (e.g. Tesla, Porsche, NSX) lack a HUD. I find it one of the best features of the more luxurious BMW's, particularly its help in using the Nav system. In the case of the i8, the tach/gear selection graphics that are displayed on the HUD when in Sport/Manual shift mode are very useful. Any idea why others don't employ it? BTW, hope you enjoy Munich this week. Sorry I'm missing it, but looking forward to hooking up with you in Leipzig in September. |

Thanks, and yes, see you in Leipzig
I too wish I had a HUD in every car. I'm so used to it in the i8. No super/hyper car has one though, I believe. Odd really, as the 720S is otherwise like sitting in a fighter jet cockpit. Maanpur, thanks I agree about the colour of course |
