Makes me think... about the McLaren X-1.

Those both look awful compared to the real thing

After playing with the Senna in CMS18, it’s growing on me. It’s still not as wildly pretty as the P1, or near-timeless as the F1, or as elegant as the Speedtail (with and without the wheel covers), but it certainly has its own look.
The nose is a bit long, but it’s a massive series of aero pieces, and they need room to work. The sudden hard trailing edges on the front fenders are brutal, but wholly functional. The bodywork would need to be like the 720S’ to hide it, but then the lowest window would be pushed outboard on the now-wider doors.
Clarkson’s TGT coverage also helped express its prowess and it saddened me a bit that my beloved P1 is no longer top of the heap. The coverage by Chris Harris only deepened that wound. The P1 is still my first lottery-winner dream purchase, but now I’d be tempted to turn it over to MSO to eke out what they could to allow it to play more evenly with a Senna.
