If yesterday we talked to you about the new Ferrari, the actual champion of the Formula 1 world, today we are going to introduce you to its main contender, McLaren. The British team has given it all, in an over the top event celebrated in Stuttgart at the Mercedes factory. This event attracted 700 employees and 400 journalist.

The contender, always with the permission of Fernando Alonso, is the MP4-23. The vehicle doesn´t have the same front wing bridge style that they presented in the GP in Catalunya, there were some changes in the aerodynamic elements to change the air flow to the refrigeration system, and other modifications but other than that no noticeable changes.

It seems that the ex Alonso team mate was surprised last Sunday close to the vicinity of Laon at the wheel of a Mercedes CLK that was immobilized by the authorities, who drove him to the hotel where he was staying.

Without a doubt a negative example for all young people.

I just read in eslux a very interesting article regarding the new Mercedes F700. Even though it is still a concept car, it will soon be available in a concessionary near you.

The Mercedes F700 consists of a car with all the details of a Maybac but as far as I can see, this car has been designed to climb the top of the sales list for a luxury car.

Among its primary characteristics, we can observe that the doors open from the centre part of the vehicle, the seats and the interior comfort are superb, and the technology it incorporates is truly innovative in security, protection and anticipation.

I can’t wait to test drive one myself.
