I think Ron has a point. If they's just called that the MP4-18 and developed the new car as something else I don't think half the critisism that they received would have come their way! Even though they did the same development!!!!

I remember an interview with RD in Autosport that said his design boffins pointing out that from their point of view it wasn't a new car, but a development so it stayed as 17.

It is all in a name...

Also interesting idea about the model. Some model manufacturer did do a scale model of the MP4-something that was launched in McLaren Orange in the '90s.
MP4-12, 1997. Minichamps. I have it. Gorgeous.
