As you may know, British Automotive show TopGear is back and in full swing for their 11th season already. And to show that they are still “in touch with the needs of the people” they felt the need to give advice on fuel economy and saving money. (That and apparently the BBC is sending them letters and letters and letters). And in true Jeremy Clarkson style, he decided to gather 5 supercars and have a race. But it wouldn’t be an ordinary race, oh no. It had to have that Topgear / Jeremy Clarkson touch.

With the less-than-popular Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren set to get the official axe in 2009, the path is opening for the next McLaren-branded supercar to make its debut. It’s expected to be built at McLaren’s facility in Woking, England, McLaren has plans for the vehicle to highly compete with Ferrari’s incredible F430.
The rumor mill is saying the McLaren will be powered by a 550-horsepower V8 engine featuring a basic design from Mercedes and built by Mahle (formerly Cosworth tuning fame), the power-to-weight ratio should handily outdo that of the Prancing Stallion. Shortly after the new coupe codenamed P11 is unveiled, a convertible version is also expected.
Alos, Hardcore McLaren enthusiasts should mark 2012 as the year that McLaren returns with a proper replacement for its legendary F1. Powered by a lightweight version of the P11 architecture, this car codenamed the P12 is expected to be powered by a V10 engine with over 600 horsepower. The waiting list will likely start right… about… now.
All We’ve got to say is Where the hell do I sign up, and where do I have to go to get the money to pay for it…
