Car Show quoted bit is happening at the McLaren Technical Center in Surrey last December for a private viewing of the pre-production MP4-12C. The automotive division was officially launched and more tantalizing details of its first product released. McLaren MP4-12C comes with a perfect, innovation and technology.
New engine developed of the twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V8 and the official numbers (592bhp and 443lb.ft of torque) suggest that the job’s been done well. McLaren hasn’t tied down the top speed or 0-62mph time as yet, but reckon on about 205mph and 3.4 seconds, which puts it on a par with the Ferrari 458 Italia. The MP4-12C should be a little lighter though, with a dry weight estimated at 1,300kg.
In addition, each MP4-12C will house an advanced infotainment system called ‘IRIS’. It’s a hard-drive based system with a host of features such as Bluetooth, wi-fi, USB connection and even the option of cameras and data acquisition for serious track day fiends.
According to the news I received, a new production facility is under way with the first cars due in 2011. Just 1,000 units will be produced in the first 12 months before new derivatives are introduced.
