No, it is not the controversial McLaren ‘ Swoosh’ logo in the lights, vents, and headlamp-vents of modern Maccas. My favorite design details are the ‘ Kiwi Scoops’ on the 570S.
It’s fun seeing how much McLaren embraces their heritage within their modern design. There is a lot of the F1 mirrored into the 720S. The Kiwi part is the best to me because it’s a pretty adorable flightless bird evolved into one of the fastest brands on Earth. You cannot run from New Zealand’s bald eagle.
Mmm, Papaya Orange and Kiwis. My stomach may get me off tropic this morning.
I (theorectically) wish dark color Sports Series models could have their side scoops painted grey or something contrasting. Not that anyone would option that besides my-broke-self and the band. McLaren needs to build bikes! That’s how all “real” sportscar brands should do entry-level proper.
Here is a progression of McLaren’s logos.
And behold, the only thing that strikes fear into Porsche!
Oh, while you’re here, I have something for you!

I would have done the Macarena, but the only words I know are, “Heeeeyyy, Macarena!”

Porsche ruined me with regard to embracing their heritage . When they downsized the Boxman to a 4-cyl (because every single model of every single manufacturer is downsizing these days) and tried to pretend they were doing it to harken back to some racing car that won a couple of races in the 60s.
Just sheer wank. If you look hard enough, it’s all Porsche do. It’s the only reason they’re still around. And it’s fucking bullshit.
Most of what Macca does is design new and awesome road cars to steal Ferrari’s cake. That speaks a lot more to me than grafting on a few silly old design tropes.
