McLaren MP4-12C makes flying debut at Goodwood FOS 2010

[BUSTER4716]

shite hate it

[mcmanus1806]

@ 2:11 look how fast jenson is driving :O!!

[siloPIRATE]

Lol, Lewis driving one handed at 1:50

[BUSTER4716]

@siloPIRATE he was going in a straight line

[siloPIRATE]

@BUSTER4716 True, but you don't see Jenson driving one handed

[FrapsYou]

British motoring at its best. Very pround and loud to be a part of this kingdom.

[coolbox109]

i own one. in tdu2!

[Hsandhu900]

Veyron and ferrari doen't stand in front of mclaren .as best thing of mclaren is that mclaren is TRUTH FULL car ever .when i watch any new movie of mclaren there is amazing new facts of mclaren . it is also good in quality and speed so it is best car ever.

[Hsandhu900]

Mclaren>Ferrari and veyron

[qpracer1]

2:16 haulin' ass!

[blahblop123]

i'd rather have this to a 458... there's something about not being on fire that i like.. very much..

[dbr712]

MP4-12 < 458

[seanys]

Those boys were racing... who was faster?

[IncognitoFloyd]

2:50 HEAVY RAIN soundtrack.... epic! ;)

[tnguyen318]

First test drive without knowing about the car. Second Test drive knowing about the car.

" Ok, what type of engineering is this? V-4 or inline? Inline. Ok. 1.8Liter? No. 2.0. What type of Transmission? CVT. What Type of Fuel Injection? How many Valves? What type of Intake and Exhaust System? How many Camshafts? "

[rockhound694u]

YEAH ANOTHER CAR THAT 99.9999% OF THE WORLDS PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD.

[jpracingph]

@rockhound694u That's why there are Kia's and Hyundai's not to mention Toyota's and Mitsubishi's. :)

[MrYousafBajwa]

458 tears apart the mp4-12c

[bullmilk]

@MrYousafBajwa

By being 2.5 to 3 seconds slower. Ferrari really showed McLaren who's the boss! lol

[THELUCASKONG]

i love the sound of the V8 in this more than the 458's

[thetechroom]

hold down 4... lol

[chumbitaecorrupto]

sound inside like an Honda

[jackrandall]

@chumbitaecorrupto Honda F1 car perhaps.

[thnk4urself]

I don't know which I'd rather have. The mp4 is by far better looking but I gotta say, I trust ferrari more than mclaren. they've made a shit load of awesome road cars, mclaren has made one really fast one that handles like a bull on ice. I'd like to know more about this thing before I'd buy it. I got my 300 grand ready lol

[specpinata]

The chief engineer is wearing nomex in the pits but Lewis and Jenson are not...while driving....LOL

[ringmeister2]

Let me guess, Lewis was 2 tenths quicker up the hill!!

[dobropivo]

very nice car only it sounds like a vacuum cleaner

[insioni]

the way the car comes out at 2:14 is blistering!!!!

[unityd3v]

Such a glorious noise.

[jpzhouutube]

Cool, but I like mine better. see my racing on 1997 Mclaren F1 GT:

/watch?v=VI_kHcqYqZg

[mclaren12c]

@1fourtheheap u r a dik if u think that cars r the best!

[vettelf1fan]

The MP4-12C is a awesome car, better than the 458, but the 458 it's absolutly gorgeus.

[23ilovetechno]

Looks too much like the old F1 , i'd take the 458 over this monster

[warmonger735]

does anyone know the max height to drive this car?

please?

[HamiltonWebberfan]

Love the way lewis drives. Always willing to slide the back end out and risk spinning it

[Howick20]

its a handful on gt5-but when u get it right-boy it feels nice!!

[kongbingyuan931202]

It's built to compete cars like 458 and menacingly well supercars..not the top speed challenger veyron.

[BatkoRadko555]

Damn it looks like oversizes Lotus... But it makes a gorgeous sound!

[TheDistilledMan]

Read in magazine the other day, that in the time the old F1 would take to hit 200, the latest Veyron can hit 200, then stop to 0, then accelerate to 60 again. Most incredible stat I ever read.

[harryizable]

@TheDistilledMan you have been misinformed

[TheDistilledMan]

@harryizable well I must admit, even in view of the lengthy age gap between the old F1 and the new Veyron SS, it seems unlikely progress...then again it was in a respected publication, namely Autocar. 

[harryizable]

@TheDistilledMan when you say old f1 it surely must mean 70's f1 cars before the turbo era?

[TheDistilledMan]

@harryizable No nothing to do with Formula 1, you're projecting, the article was talking about the old McLaren F1 of the early to mid 1990's at the time the fastest road car in the world (the precursor to the car in this video hence the relevance of my comment), compared to the new Veyron SS.

[keebaman]

get this car on Top Gear.

[tyke570]

Hey what can i say... i sat in one!

[BENDOON23]

at least the mclaren won't catch on fire like the 458

[namybot]

@BENDOON23 Fuck you, Journalist have said they take a 458 over this anyday much more fun.

[bubchronic]

Way too ugly. Ferrari 458 any day

[espectro2n]

and the max speed?

[iraqiblaze]

dis car is peng but i aint so sure if its better dn a 458

[vishalquake3]

This car is just WOW ! : )

[leloodallasmultipass]

you gotta work on your timing. try putting down a time which is about a second BEFORE the place you want people to see in the vid

[enzo48]

Don't know why but the McLaren just doesn't do it for me. The 458 has seduced me back to being a Ferrari lover after a long term affair with the Gallardo, but the MP4 won't be tempting me to stray again

[overdocistri188]

cant wait to see all the comparative videos between this and the ferrari 458... forza ferrari!

[tomuss94]

Just behind this car on the Goodwood course was Chris Evans in his £12million ferrari

[UniGlam2009]

Aw. @ 2.16 it looks so quick.

[Bmants]

McLaren Sucks, they are expert at losing F1 titles. Lewis better move on if you have any sense.

[MrPlagues]

@1fourtheheap

Fuck the environment, buy a Mclaren.

[kampfpudeln]

@1fourtheheap

better if people did not multiplied!

people with children are the selfish ass-holes!

we don´t need more people on planet Earth!

people without children have more right to consume the resources in the world.

petrol for example.

[WaDaRod]

Wow!!! Super!

[ksakbk]

much better looking the the 458 italia! GET THE MP4-12C TO TOP GEAR!!!!!!!!!

[GryphisOne]

Stig at 2:30!!

[cortkatanakx1q]

0:43 I wish they had papaya orange color on their formula 1 cars.

[cortkatanakx1q]

0:37 F1 GTR - love it

[plusapc]

I think that the McLaren MP4 and the Mercedes SLS is the result of a splitting of the SLR

[levirolla]

I like it, just wish they could have gave the car a better name though

[JL897139]

no HD?

[filipplo]

it's quite like ferrari 458 italia

[HENRYHOBBS1]

@filipplo i think its got a blend of ferrari 360 n lambo gallardo to it

[BlindZenDriver]

Nice car but boring PR video

[valante7]

Man i am not sure about the looks of this car. I believe that the McLaren SLR is better looking.

[vroom1231]

GREAT COMPETATOR FOR LAMBORGHINI AND FERRARI

[dgfmoore]

THE STIG AT 2.31!!!

[calvinator9111111111]

Clarkson will have another crisis, along side the one he had with the sound of the Maserati.

[HENRYHOBBS1]

lewis great lad,button is a cocky prick

[peanuts2105]

@HENRYHOBBS1 you are confusing cocky with confidence. Button is is having the time of his life by being world champion

[HENRYHOBBS1]

@peanuts2105 sorry mr peanut

[torbwrc]

@HENRYHOBBS1 haha, truth be-told i'm not buttons biggest fan saying this lewis was the one with only one hand on the wheel!

[c0nv1ct1337]

2:30

The Stig right outside the car!

[warmonger735]

@c0nv1ct1337 i think it's a cardboard cut-out....

[Xistanceowner]

@c0nv1ct1337 cardboard cutout if you pause it

[kadirovstas]

want see this car on TOP GEAR ..hehe

[huze5]

That door at the end is complete engineering brilliance in terms of security. No one will know that the secret way to open it is to pull that bit of cloth..... or turn the knob.

[nckkinney]

Damn that thing must guzzle gas like nothing

[peanuts2105]

@nckkinney not really. its a 600bhp 3.8 ltr twin turbo V8. It was designed from the outset to be fuel efficient, unlike State Side cars with massive 6 ltr engines

[noshunnumber1]

I spotted the stig. looked like he was waiting for his turn

[Z3Shanghai]

Lewis is so Humble :)

[skatanic76]

Anyone know which day Lewis and Jenson took it out on Goodwood?

[alfamonk]

looks cool..sounds a bit lame

[ferrarimanf355]

I'd rather have an MP4-12C than a 458 Italia.

[IceWaterInc]

@ferrarimanf355 and ur name is ferrariman lol! but more to the point, i agree with you!!!

[theoberman]

@ferrarimanf355

agreed. just look at the specs, it's lighter, faster, more powerful, and it's a McLaren!

[alceuzinho]

@ferrarimanf355 I'd rather have both.

[Senninha1960]

@ferrarimanf355

Hmmmmmmm

[rock3tcat]

@ferrarimanf355

The 2 can't be compared with each other.

[bullmilk]

@ferrarimanf355

Agreed, and the Italia is my favorite Ferrari in quite some time. The look, sound, and mechanics of the MP4 has grown on me at an astronomical pace. It's not the prettiest face on the block, but it looks damned fun on a track if the reactions from Lewis and Jenson are anything to go on.

[jam8846]

@ferrarimanf355 : Bet u wouldn't rather have the price tag!

[vix121]

@ferrarimanf355 If I had the money i'd buy both. I wonder which is faster on the track?

[aqinthe]

@ferrarimanf355 Why not the 458? Cars that randomly catch on fire are fun.

[cavaderblood]

@aqinthe Man, I know that's just to be funny but no 458 has caught fire in over a year, they fixed the issue

[aqinthe]

@cavaderblood I was just making a joke, not trying to rag on Ferrari. You are right. But the early 458s had some serious fire issues. I think alot of the issues were drivers overheating their cars.

[cavaderblood]

@aqinthe This is from Ferrari themselves: ”When the car is driven to high exhaust temperatures, in hot ambient temperatures, the adhesive used in the wheelarch assemblies can overheat and allow the rear wheel housing heat shields to move around. In extreme cases, the glue can begin to smoke and even catch fire.”

They've since replaced the adhesive with rivets

[aqinthe]

@cavaderblood Thanks for the info. I never knew the cause of the problems. But Ferraris and Lambos of past have also had problems. Partially from people driving them improperly.

[cavaderblood]

@aqinthe Italian exotic car makers in general have a history of being completely aweome, yet unreliable. I'm sure the drivers have a lot to do with it though (like when a Murcielago funded by Nixon and DC in the Gumball 3000 went 160 mph for 30 minutes and something in the gearbox exploded... the funniest). But even in real sanctioned racing, the Lamborghini's aren't very reliable. But when they do make it to the finish line, they're usually first... it's just a matter of getting there

[aqinthe]

@cavaderblood I think you summed it up very well. I watch alot of ALMS racing and it seems like Ferrari is either 1st or out of the race.

[cavaderblood]

@aqinthe Haha yeah. They're either in the groove or in the pits. Right on the edge!

[alxcsb]

@ferrarimanf355 See, I think if a dude affords one, he can also afford the other. I don't know why you people even bother with a versus between the two. Any guy who likes supercars will buy both, i'm sure.

[walidiba]

@ferrarimanf355 I second that.. although 458 has a sexier pair of eyes

[helloduck100]

@ferrarimanf355 oh ya

[jdmk20aek]

@ferrarimanf355 ide rather have the McLaren F1 than anything.....GORDON MURRAY=GOD

[jorehir]

@nightmarejr 2:30 Some say he's a cardboard... other say he has a lot of twins XD

[ManuMareti]

[HumourAustralia]

GREAT CAR!! Nice video quality too...

[hibud4]

[HKS23422]

@hibud4 between $255k-$288k

[HENRYHOBBS1]

what time??

[Rhoexsigma]

This is officially the end to the Ferrari-Lamborghini war :0

[FIyingPengwin]

@Rhoexsigma the 458 is pretty stiff competition

[ksakbk]

@Rhoexsigma doubt it haha just think this will fuel the fire!

[XxGarrett2xX]

that is a sexy car. good job Mclaren

[HiAdrian]

Nice detail about the airbrake, drag + extra downforce. Makes sense.

[Manzancene]

What time did it??? Worst than the ferrari 458?!

[Metti1984]

New York is the US Headquarter of McLaren

[Josephalosaurus]

does anybody know if these cares are going overseas (Can & Usa) ??

[Josephalosaurus]

@Josephalosaurus the McLarens

[ygyf]

jenson drove really hard~ hamilton was just cruising`

[steakIT99]

Is the engine made by McLaren?

[torerobohoyo]

yes

[Crazzybull]

Amazing!

[dimsumdimas]

did it beat the 458?

[terga1]

@dimsumdimas duh :D

[HiAdrian]

@dimsumdimas Strongly doubt it :D

[aznrex14]

Love the sound! :D

[torerobohoyo]

suena mejor el 458 italia,pero este es mas rapido

[sapiensPT]

Nice!

[auditwaht]

Cheesus!
