McLaren MP4-12C

2015/01/img_6522.jpg

McLaren has been in the racing game for years. Their first production car was the record breaking F1.

One of the latest models is this one. The 2015 MP4-12C. The name and looks aren't exciting but the car is.

Featuring a 3.8L V8 with twin-turbos pushing 616hp and 443torque.

0-60: 3.1 seconds
1/4 mile: 10.6 seconds

This is loaded with technology. It has assisted brake steering. Actually was the first to have it. When you turn a corner it applies the breaks to some of the wheels to make better and efficient turns. Assisting the engine is a 7-spd dual-clutch transmission.

The Auto Opinion
Starting at $239,400 this car isn't the cheapest of the mid-engine supercar line up you can get now a days. With the Ferrari 458, the Audi R8, etc. You won't be seeing much of these tech savvy beasts as the others. Simply because it's a supercar but doesn't give off the crazy sport vibe.
