Right from the start of McLaren"s road-car enterprise, one issue was clear. This has been such a focussed company that its cars are probably too similar. They all use versions of the same tub, they all use mid-mounted turbo V8s. McLaren has no 2+2s then, no front-engined cars, no V12s or V6s.Now you might argue Ferrari doesn"t do its great name much good by making the California, and that it makes no money from the FF (now GTC4 Lusso). But that idea "different Ferrari for different Ferraristi" as Luca di Montezemolo put it does give Ferrari a breadth that McLaren doesn"t have.
