now all we need is a Mclaren F1 GT version, then i am all set :)


McLaren has officially unveiled the highly anticipated 2011 MP4-12C.

Set to become the first "modern" McLaren, the car features dynamic styling that was purposely designed to be timeless and relevant for years to come. While the end result looks kind of generic from certain angles, McLaren points out that virtually every aspect was designed to be fully functional. Obviously the car features a little McLaren magic, but that's mostly limited to the F1-inspired dihedral doors and air scoops that resemble the McLaren logo. Out back, the car features LED taillights and unique center-mounted dual exhaust tips.

Inside, the MP4-12C boasts a luxurious cabin with a slim center console (with an "Active Dynamics" control panel), a 7-inch touch screen, and attractive sport seats. Other design features include a low cowl for improved visibility, a button-less sports steering wheel, and door-mounted climate control knobs.

Power comes from a mid-mounted 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, which produces around 600 bhp and 600 Nm of torque. Thanks to a dry sump and a flat plane crankshaft, the engine can be placed extremely low in the chassis for a low center of gravity and improved handling. Backed up by a seven-speed "Seamless Shift" dual clutch gearbox (with normal, sport and high performance modes), the MP4-12C promises to deliver "new standards for power and performance in its sector."

While the company failed to provide performance data, they stated that they focused on "useable measures such as in-gear acceleration times, braking performance, the efficiency of power delivery, and achieving the lowest possible fuel consumption and CO2 emissions."

As you would expect, McLaren drew heavily on their racing knowledge when developing the MP4-12C. For example, the car rides on an 80 kg (176 lbs) one-piece carbon fiber chassis - dubbed the Carbon MonoCell - which was specially designed to be lightweight, strong, and durable. The supercar also features an advanced Brake Steer system, which helps to cancel out understeer when entering corners as well as providing improved traction on the way out. Other performance features include forged aluminum brake hubs, an Airbrake system and a Pre-Cog transmission function that "primes" the gearbox for the next shift.

Look for more information to be released when the MP4-12C approaches its 2011 launch date.

THAT! I want THAT! I know I'll never be able to afford it...but I can still dream!

I don't like it, it looks like a rip off of the Ferrari 458.
I like the older model better, it has a timeless look to it instead of a timely look to it like its newer sibling. The wow factor is gone...

The designers must love star trek, that symbol they use resembles the star trek logo a little to much.

Creativity is used very little in this design instead it borrows design cues from other cars , its very sad....This is one Mclaren that is meh at best IMO.

Kimi has won or hit the podium for the past three races. He's not sober! He's back to gettin' crunked up, and banging dirty skanks the night before the race! I love it. Kimi's half in the bag and he's still better than anyone else on the grid. Nonetheless, I think I might be rooting for a Fisichella win at Monza. That would make his life!

Hamilton? Meh.

Good design but a 3.8l twin turbo engine with only 600hp is nothing impressive for a supercar.
Hell, we have seen that power output from NA engines! If a company needs a twin turbo to produce "usable horsepower" etc then they wanted to take shortcuts.
Better off with a less exclusive f458.

Sorry Alfy, i could never marry you.

that car id gorgeous!

That car is hawt!!

that car id gorgeous!

If somebody was to offer me the keys to either one of the Mclarens to keep I would take the keys to the older Mclaren without thinking about it. That car is a hyper car inside and out, gull wing doors, you sit in the center of the cockpit instead of the conventinal left or right hand drive configurations. The motor has 24k gold wrapping as insulation for the motor.

And the main thing is that if I am driving the older gorgeous Mclaren nobody will mistake it for a Ferrari 458!:rofl:;)

If you get the 3/4 shot of the Ferrari and look at the Ferrari compared to the new 3/4 shot of Mclaren they look similar. LOL! I don't like it ,even if I may be blind, its bland compared to the older Mclaren. :P

PAWNED :( and I know that pic is from SS...

the mp4/12c is pretty good. It will always be stuck in the f1's shadow. However, i would like to see a hard core race version

New ferrari looks gay.

I think it's cooler to say I drive a mclaren than I drive a ferrari...

Given the money, I'd buy the mclaren.

id pick the mclaren too if i could afford it

Honestly...

so what if it might look like a ferrari....

if it can help me get chicks like the one below...
