McLaren MP4-C12

The first in a range of high performance sports cars from the home of the world's most successful racing car company...
McLaren MP4-C12 – (or cash withdrawal 250'000USD)
A supercar brand that has its roots steeped in rich motorsports history - F1, Indianapolis 500, CanAm and Le Mans. Renowned for their McLaren F1 and Mercedes-Benz cars, McLaren Automotive has the technology and expertise to produce ground-breaking sports cars for great driving experiences.
At its heart, the McLaren MP4-12C features a revolutionary carbon fibre chassis structure, the Carbon MonoCell: the first time a car in this market segment is based around such a strong and lightweight racing car engineering solution and the first time any car has ever featured a one-piece carbon fibre structure. This step change in sports car design means that the 12C introduces new standards not just in handling, ride and outright performance, but also safety, economy and practicality in an already competitive sector.
The interior is extremely space efficient and is designed to accommodate adults in comfort. This has been partly achieved by the 7 inch touch screen telematics system oriented in portrait mode. This is a first for the automotive industry and is more intuitive than landscape orientation.
The 12C is powered by a bespoke McLaren M838T 3.8 litre, V8 twin-turbo engine producing around 600bhp, driving through a McLaren seven speed Seamless Shift dual clutch gearbox (SSG). It is targeting not only new standards for power and performance in its sector, but also class-leading fuel economy and CO2 emissions; supported by McLaren's experience of active aerodynamics to aid cooling, grip, handling and road holding.
