McLaren news - McMonster - 2009

It's turning into a good day for mad Photoshop concepts.

First we saw that Iranian Porsche Carrera GT-thing, and now here's a wild take on a futuristic McLaren F1 from Brit designer Matt Williams.

Evidently deciding that the new MP4-12C is just a bit restrained to carry the flag for its iconic older brother, Williams has kept his design much truer to the original.

It features seating for three, with the driver front and centre. Like the original F1, Williams envisages his concept using a BMW-derived engine - in this case the 5.0-litre V10 from the M5.

So which do you prefer? The understated MP4-12C, or this over-the-top monster?
