I really think that McLaren set the benchmark again for supercars with the MP4 12C just like they did with the F1 what a Car.

Definitely an amazing machine. It's not as good-looking as the Ferrari BUT I expect it's a far better all-around car AND ultimate performer. It's the best of both worlds. McLaren has always striven to make their cars daily driveable and this one seems to meet that requirement very well.

What's not to like? Love the 2,866 lbs.

 

I still want to see one in red or black. IMO, that burnt orange paint job isn't doing it any favors.

 

Not the most exciting looking supercar, but the tech specs and performance are awe-inspiring. I look looking at pics of the chassis, powertrain, etc. - all the details and engineering are amazing, and make the car actually seem like a decent value.

 

I think it looks 10x better than any F car (minus the FF); even in that horrendous color. I can only imagine what it'd look like in like a lambo balloon white or a rich silver.

 

Love this car. Can't decide which looks better. this or the 458 =S

 

I love how it has torque down low... Revs to god and still has turbos.

This might be my favorite car in 200-300k price range fo sho.

 

I am interested to see how it stacks up when directly compared to other supercars. If I remember correctly, it is certainly not the most awe inspiring dominator of the stat sheet, but I expect that in the real word, it will be very hard to beat.


Well doing a quick check, the number that I was specifically thinking of was 0-60, which I remembered being 3.5 seconds. I have found 0-60 numbers ranging from 3.5 all the way down to 2.8, so who knows...
