Its been rumored for a long time that McLaren has been looking for a way out of its ties with Mercedes as, in recent years, the relationship between the two manufacturers has become strained. Especially after the failure of the SLR to really capture attention from performance junkies. That said, look at the earth-shattering experience that came from the previous McLaren-BMW project. Makes me wonder - how can they do that with the upcoming McLaren MP4/12C is supposed to be powered by a turbocharged Mercedes V8? I think this will happen.

An interesting quote from autocar, that the world would never see the likes again; top gear just asserted the same thing about the veyron, 15 years later. Did McLaren make money on the F1, or are they losing $2m per car like VW/bugatti? That’s a really nice article; they don’t skimp on the engineering.
