McLaren MP4 - mind blowing!

I cannot believe how amazing this car is. I've got it tuned up to 738 HP / 618pp so far and it's just astonishing. It's lightning fast, wiping the floor with everything in it's path, and the grip (sports soft) - holy cow. I used it in GT5 but it never felt this good. Grinning from ear to ear

Thanks for the heads up, I might have to acquire this vehicle. The MP4 was always one of my favourite drives in GT5. 👍

Tuning to 738bhp and equipping Sports Soft tyres i'm not surprised it "wipes the floor" with other cars.

Showroom spec makes for the best racing;-)

Yeah, it's going to take a while.

You don't need a 700+ MP4 to wipe out anything in it's path.

With this games poor AI a standard MP4 will do just fine.

Agreed.

I seldom increase the hp of cars. I prefer them pretty much standard

I may choose this over my fully tuned 458, the chassis of the 458 cannot cope with racing tyres.

It's a fantastic car. In some respects it feels like you are driving it with all the Aids on as it seems to flatter and smooth out the rough edges from your wayward cornering. I haven't encountered any other car (including the GT-R) that is so settled and smooth on slightly bumpy straights at upwards of 150mph. The chassis feels like its of racing quality with a nice degree of pliancy built in.

Thanks for tip! I might buy it after finishing the seasonals. They seem to pay pretty well.

Does it drive better than it did in GT5? I never really got a hang of it compare to the 458/430 in GT5....

I think the new physics gives an overall impression that natural grip across the board is reduced. I haven't driven the 458, but the 430 Scuderia feels good, if a little harder and in need of delicacy than before. The MP4 feels just as grippy as it did in the last game.

It's just quite an effortless drive which I think some people might not enjoy so much as this means it lacks something of the drama of more tail happy (and slower) competitors.

This is why I love GT6, all the cars are so much different from one another. It is almost like they have "personalities" and you have to adapt your driving skills for each one. I love it.

Hhhhmmm I wonder if it feels like it did in GT5. I liked it but it was never as fast as my 458 despite being lighter and more powerful. (both were equally modded)

Yes, that's my big personal win with the game so far. In GT5 I could feel the difference between 4WD, FF, MR etc. cars but within each grouping they all felt pretty much the same to me, just some quicker and some slower.

In GT6 for the first time there's something interesting and distinct about every car in stock mode. I am really glad you have multiple tuning slots so that you can always keep slot A reserved for the car in its stock form.
