It don't think it's ugly, just generic... Plus convertibles aren't my thing

It feel diffrent than oryginal 12C, and most of 650S updates are, as i belive free to get in McLaren services on opld 12C's.
But those are not main changes. Re calibrates drive-modes etc.

2010 MP4 was not able to slide and drift even a little bit. Now its more alive but still its a FL 12C.

But P1 is a real diffrence.

The reviews are rather interesting, Some say it feels exactly the same as a MP4, And is Barely faster, Then others say it feels totally different then an MP4 on track and is a good deal faster, Atleast to British Motoring journalists. Very intriguing.

I still maintain its butt ugly, And id rather have a GT3 or Stingray.

Well, it's not slow, but I'm surprised it wasn't faster than the old car(which was pre-600hp "12C" refresh)

He's very fast, especially @Hockenheimring, so no, the time is relatively bad because of other reasons.

Christian Gebhart is very fast driver. May be conditions were not the best or 650S isn't much faster then 12C.

Same time as 600hp 12C coupe and slower than Carrera GT. Not really impressive, even for Spider.
