McLaren took the wraps off of it's 2012 challenger today:

McLaren MP4-27

It doesn't have the ugly nose that we previously seen with the Caterham and is rumored to be on a few other cars as well. McLaren says they're pushing the envelope with this year's model, as they've had a tendency to be somewhat conservative over the past couple of years.

Good looking car, but looks don't win races...hope it's pace is up to challenging Red Bull.

Edit - Some higher resolution pictures:

Well good thing it doesn't have the platypus nose... hopefully the Ferrari doesn't have it too. And if it does, it better win the championship.
