The Lotus had me until I read "Toyota V6."

That Saleen is sick, definitely my pick.

The Mclaren looks like a Porsche Carrera GT, F430 and a Ascari A10 all mixed together. Is that a real Mclaren rendering or some random artist design?

I was thinking the same thing. I don't like the brake lights on the Saleen, but that front end and overall shape is sexy. Specs sound bad ass too. Any word on pricing in relation to the F430/Gallardo.
