I don't think nothing comes close to this think mainly because of its WEIGHT at (2860lb) that is S2000 weight with 600hp 500tq a 458 weighs in at (3274 lb)that is 300lb's heavier and 50hp less and the rest of the super car world are 500+lb's heavier you can make a car accelerate fast with a lot of power and make it stop with big brakes but that weight will affect the handling a lot. The only other car that has the same power to weight is a Zonda but that's twice the price of the MP4 McLaren.

Personally I think it looks better than the Ferrari 458 Italia (which I'd assume is it's biggest rival). Ferrari's newer designs have just not been impressing me at all.

I love the expression he makes followed by the words "stupidly fast", that's saying something when it comes from Chris Harris. The looks of the car have grown on me since it's release, it didn't really grab my attention like the 458, but now I've lost all interest in the Ferrari. I just get the impression that, of the people with the cash to buy cars like these, the one's who really take an interest in cars will buy the 12C, it's just not a posers vehicle, and that makes it way cooler than the 458 IMO...
