This McLaren 12c reportedly caught on fire at a race this week. We know McLaren wanted to compete with Ferrari, but maybe they shouldn't have been so rigorous.

By now, everyone has heard that Honda is coming back to Formula 1 as an engine supplier. Turbo V6 engines will be the regulated standard for the premier motorsports starting in 2014, and Honda will reenter the sport in 2015 once they've spent a great deal of time engineering the new motor.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the McLaren-Honda partnership was one of the most successful in all of motorsports. Their five year partnership netted four world championships and a second. And starting in 2015, they want to recapture that magic once again.

This is McLaren's fantastic P1 hypercar doing what it was made for: going very fast using all the power from its biturbo 3.8 V8 and electric wizardry. Sounds good, looks good, and probably feels good too.

For years now, people have been calling cars like the Ferrari 458, the Lamborghini Gallardo, the McLaren MP4-12C and even the Lexus LFA "supercars." This is bullshit.

Evo Magazine's Nick Trott just got himself a McLaren MP4-12C with some miles on its clock as a daily driver from Woking for the next six month. While we keep waiting for our phone to ring, think about the car for a second, and tell Nick what you would do with it.

When you own a McLaren, the world is your toilet. I think that was McLaren's ad slogan for a while there, and even if it wasn't, it's surely the personal mantra of the pea-bladdered urinator/McLaren MP4-12C owner in this video. I bet he has it embroidered on a throw pillow.

Until now, I had no idea there was going to be a Need For Speed movie, but these pictures show a McLaren P1 on the set and I'm suddenly interested. And that's not the only car that catches my eye.

Car and Driver had a McLaren 12c out in Utah and they strapped a camera to the rear wing. Here is the raw, surprisingly beautiful footage. All 28 minutes of it.

Just like we told you after speaking to McLaren's Development Chief during the Geneva Motor Show three weeks ago, McLaren is launching its entry level car as early as 2015.
