Powered by a McLaren M838T twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine, this new McLaren (the first production car wholly designed and built by McLaren since the F1) was unveiled in 2009 and reached the market in 2011. According to McLaren, the MP4-12C can reach speeds in excess of 322 km/h. Weighing just 1,301 kg (due to the F1-style carbon fibre chassis), this car looks and sounds impressive. Although it might no be as powerful as the McLaren F1, the MP4-12C surely won't have any problem living up to his big brother. It is not known how many MP4-12Cs will be build. As for racing, there is a GT3 variant built by McLaren that will race in the 2012 FIA GT3 European Championship.
Only time will tell if the McLaren MP4-12C is ready to dominate the best Tier 3 cars, but it sure looks promising. Get yours today!
