McLaren goes topless!

McLaren MP4-12C Spider

McLaren's fleet-footed but, well, slightly beige supercar – even the name sounds intimidatingly technical: MP4-12C. C'mon, what 12-year-old wouldn't dream of owning a MP4-12C? – has suddenly gotten a lot more attractive. Like a model who's had her wonky teeth fixed, somehow slicing off the roof has turned this into a genuine swan. And it's not too shabby under the RHT (retractible hard top).

Powered by a 3.8 litre V8, the horses have recently been upped to 616bhp, which means it'll pass 200mph (by 4 whole more miles, to be precise) and wave merrily as it passes 62mph in 3.1 seconds. You can even take down the carbon fibre lid at up to 19mph with a button push by a chubby finger. This'll take "under 17 seconds".

Want one? Who wouldn't. Hopefully you've got the required £195,500 and don't mind waiting till sunny Christmas.
