Maybe they should throw the engine into the new F1 car, this one looks like it runs for at least a few minutes... :roll:

Henry's Drivetribe video on the new GT3 is much more interesting for Z4M owners - sounds like the new engine is a modern reworked bigger better S54 :D

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that. I reckon it looks incredible and the spec is incredible too.

I like it. Looking pretty doesn't seem like something McLaren would prioritise over effectiveness and the 720s is truer to that than the previous generation.

Shame it doesn't apply to the ugly-and-rubbish 2017 F1 car, although admittedly Honda seems to have its head on the block right now!
