    If the current McLaren race car is the MP4-26 how can you say that the F1 successor will be the MP4-27?. This will be the next F1 car, not a road car.

    Hey, Ronnie, Baby whats with the stupid car names?  
    For everyone’s sake, please think of something a bit less clinically technical and something more passionate. How about using swords?  
    Cutlass (can’t that belonged to Oldsmobile), Espada (nope, Lamborghini), Rapier (Sunbeam), Scimitar (Reliant) but Broadsword, Longsword, Yatagan (curved sabre), Ropera, schiavona  (Italian basket-hilted sword), sabre, Gladius, Spat, claymore (17th to 18th century Scottish), Curtana (a medieval term for a ceremonial sword), Katzbalger (16th century German short sword), Cinquedea/Anelace (Italian short sword) among others are still available. Get the drift?

    MP4-27: means it is the product of the new team Mclaren, which is the result of merging team Mclaren (formed by Bruce Mclaren in the late 1960s) and team project-4 hence the designation MP-4. The last number is represent the number of new car/chassis design after the merger.
    It is technical and surgical, exactly as Ron wants it
