There's another McLaren image taken from a slightly different angle. They might both be Photoshop jobs, but why bother if you can just use an actual aircraft of some kind?

Also a B-52H T33 engine dual pylon looks significantly different, and the nacelles as well (look at the joint between them). Images attached.

Walter: the B-52 TF33 engines have 28 visible blades in the turbines, the engines in the McLaren pics have 32 blades.
