Just been reading about some of the issues that Boeing have been having with the Dreamliner ...

To quote from the article "The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is one of the most advanced aeroplanes ever created. Much of it is made from very strong, light carbon-fibre composite material. However, a spate of technical issues has hurt its image. " Now replace Boeing with McLaren and 787 Dreamliner with MP4-12C and that paragraph is still correct (need to change aeroplanes to cars also).
Just goes to show that making the most technically advanced, highest performing, most efficient vehicle (be that plane or car) is never as easy as the manufacturer originally thinks? I'd rather be in my 12C at ground level than at 40 thousand feet in a 787 if/when something does go wrong!
