各界推薦 Reviewnbsp;Being a part of the start of McLaren Automotive was something really unique. The subsequent chapter in British sports car history flew by at a million miles an hour. We were busy! This is an amazingly detailed read that helped me re-live the technical journey and took me back to “my” period from 12C to Senna. Great times and great cars . . .Chris Goodwin, Chief Test Driver, McLaren Automotive, 2000-2017. (McLaren F1 GTR racing driver 1997-1999)-- Chris Goodwin, Chief Test Driver, McLaren Automotivenbsp;Is there anything better than finding the exact thing you didn’t know you needed? That’s “McLaren: The Road Cars.” This will sound odd, but I skipped right over all the F1 and Mercedes SLR stuff—I could write up 2,000 words on the former from memory. No, I had to get to the chapter on the birth of the MP4-12C, an itch I’ve needed scratched for more than ten years now. How and why did McLaren cook up and serve what history will surely judge as the most important supercar from the first quarter of this century? Furthermore, how did that gutsy yet flawed moonshot lead, only a few years later, to the McLaren 720S, a machine I consider to be the true successor to the Lamborghini Countach? In other words, how did little McLaren reinvent the supercar? The answers to those questions, and everything else about every other McLaren road car, are all here.Jonny LiebermanMotor Trend-- Jonny Lieberman, Motor Trend
