  • i thought he was american until he said Ferrari and Lamborghini

  • I'll sell you my soul to be rich enough to have one lol

  • what's the entry price?

  • beautiful body

  • what a waste of money

  • @michaelcrowley420 It's faster than the McLaren F1 although the engine is smaller so I think it's worth it :)

  • @TigerClaws12894 It not faster, the MP4-12C has a top speed of 205 and a 0 to 62 time of 3.3 it is also heavier than the F1 and it has less BHP it wouldn't keep up with the F1

  • @TheSpiderFaceMan Nope, with pirelli pzero corsa tire option, the MP4 went 0 to 60 in 3.1 (0.1 faster than the F1) and do a 1/4 mile in 10.9 secs (11.1 with the F1). So in conclusion, technology right now is pretty advanced, proving that more power doesn't mean more speed and would only cost more. Take the F1 cars right now for example, started out with engines well over 900 hp, now they're limited to 750 BUT the F1 nowadays are a lot faster than be4. Proving that tech matters :)

  • @TigerClaws12894 Do remember that the Mac F1's gearing is very tall; thus why it can top out at over 230 mph.

  • @HFLanciaStratos The top speeds have 15Mph in difference, plus there are only few places where you can go 205Mph let alone 230, if those 2 cars are doing timed laps in Suzuka by the same driver for example, my bet would go to the MP4.

  • @TigerClaws12894 Probably, since the MP4 has all that technology. Still, I know which car I'd rather do a lap around a track in... not to say that the MP4 wouldn't be absolutely wonderful in every imaginable way to drive, but the F1 is a legend. Can't argue with that noise either.

  • @HFLanciaStratos I wouldn't say that the MP4 is wonderful in every imaginable way to drive, the F1 has little technology to it and that's what a real car should be, giving the driver a one of a kind experience without the help of computers, man and machine working together, same as you, I'd bet on the MP4 but I'd rather be in the F1, it's my first and all time fav. car.

  • @TigerClaws12894 You're talking to a guy who daily drives a 4 cylinder Saab. I love it to death, but anything quicker than a Porsche 944 to me is godly fast lol.

  • You can own this for the miserable sum of...

  • Anyone who thinks there's a new car that performs better for £160k is a disillusioned tool. Ferrari released the 458 and everyone thought that was the car to have. The Mclaren moves the supercar (not million-pound hypercar) game on so much it's embarassing for the 458 and all other supercars under £200k.

    This car dicks on all the competition that the badge snobs worship. When i see one of these on the roads i'll know its being driven by someone who has bought it for driving, not posing.

  • good car bad name

  • this guy really know his sales pitch

  • a mclaren mp4 e realmente um carro fantastico,esse carro ja ficou na historia do altomobilismo

  • Kind of sounds like he's trying to justify its existence. On the defensive from bad press or something?

  • the driver's seat should be in the center :P

  • OH MY GOSH!

  • i don't like cl 500 much btr 4 me

  • My internet really has no clue, it loaded this video in about ten seconds, but the shitty 12 second video taken off a mobile phone before takes eight seconds to load?

  • @majinsha1Oh it's definitely an HD video without the option of watching it in its full quality. I'm thinking it looking this good at 360p must indicate it was a 1080p video.

  • When piston driven cars go obsolete , I got first dibs on this one :P

  • How much ?????

  • @bockydo $230,000 for the mclaren mp4 12c. bespoke options addl.

  • this is a MONSTER ( car ) ^^

  • great car

  • One thing I cant figure out is the old mclaren used a 6.2 litre engine and weighed 1140kg. This one uses a smaller engine. Almost half the size / 3.8 litre engine, has 17 years of technology ADVANCEMENT and friggin weighs 1300kg vs the old ones 1140kg weight .Thats 160 kg more then the old one.And the old one had 1 extra seat :-). In terms of advancement its already a failure.Ok so they might argue the older one had a bigger budget but this one has 17 years of tech over the old one !

  • @fcukyourmother like you said , the old one was built 17 years ago ... different times , different safty features and requirements

  • looks like something straight out of burnout :P

  • OMG it is 3 concepts! lamborghini, ferrari  and audi !

  • McLaren is shit without bmw

  • Definately !. Shit weighs more then the old one with an engine half the size and one less seat !!!

  • NICE car !! well dreaming is FREE. ill dream of driving it everyday hahahaha. GO MCLAREN.

  • ITS A TWIN TURBO 3.8L V8 GENERATES 592BHP N HAVE F1 TECHNOLOGIES LIKE GEAR BOX WITH PRE-COG

  • is this a car, looks more like a dream.

    the most stylish car i have ever seen. it has the speed and the looks, damn, may i be blessed to drive in one some day.

  • mclaren = best car ever

  • As sexy as this car is, the front looks a little too much like a Ferrari.

    The 90's McLaren F1 will remain my favorite.

  • Mclaren FTW!

  • Looks like Audi R8

  • @SWJarek you crazy??

  • @iloveparc no, you blind?

  • @SWJarek if this looks like a audi r8 then im fuckin tu-pac

  • really disappointed its fucking ugly =(

  • Havnt heard anything much from McLaren since the time they were producing their line of Mercedes. Ive seen ONE on the road since its debut. Wouldnt doubt people would rather spend their money on the typical $300K cars such as Ferrari, Lambos, Astons, ect....

  • Comment removed

  • Looks like a McLaren to me...

  • Actualy , it doesnt look like a gallardo neither ferrari , it looks like the old model . Europe cars kick ass .

  • "Easy and practical to drive". When is it ever practical to drive a $250,000 car?!

  • a copy from gallardo

  • looks like a ferrari

  • looks like fixed up mitsubishi eclipse LOL

  • i want this car soo badly, it is my dream car!! i have been wanting this car for a long time and i dont even have my lisence yet!!!!

  • Looks like the iphone promo... lol

  • SSSIIIICCCKKK

  • The old one looks better sry.

  • the F1 is the best. This doesn't even get close to it...

  • Yep brits made mclaren

  • wow cool :)

  • it look like the mitsubishi eclipse... i dont like the exterior

  • the F1 will never be out done. No matter how many improvements get made, the F1 is the true McLaren Supercar

  • ehh its a british car! have it for a week and your in the repair shop paying thousands for parts that you pay 30 on an american car

  • Reminds me of a lambo 

  • @LiLaL31 me2... looks only fammialriar to a Galardo

  • Damn, Im convinced. He, without a doubt has a degree in marketing!

  • nice car s**t interview zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • While I'd love to have one of these, as it is surely going to be an amazing performer, I'd feel inadequate having it, knowing that I'm owning a McLaren but one that isn't an F1.

  • whars the break light? omg this car is in split second teheee

  • Very Nice!

  • wow people dam i got 1 thing wrong and everyone says im stupid the thing wrong people what is wrong with you???!!!

    the formula 1 class of mclaren was finned 100 million and penalized for espionage against ferrari OR THATS WHAT I HEARD dang i wasnt even talking to you people just mind your dam buisness and quit being so but hurt over 1 mistake

  • @ProJumpstyler

    where? looks more like a modern Lotus

    speaking of which Ferrari always copied engineering designs of other manafacturers throughout the history of Formula 1 and sportscar racing.

    Jaguar used discbrakes in LeMans in the 50's so Ferrari got a hint to stop using their drumbrakes. Cooper made the first rearengined car in Formula 1, so Ferrari caught on 3 years later and realized that was the way of the future. Lamborghini made the first midengined supercar the Miura.

  • @ProJumpstyler

    Really? How come this one was designed years before Ferrari ever showed their 458 to the public?

    You know nothing. I repeat. Nothing.

  • @ProJumpstyler

    horseshit

  • beautiful

  • @goldbullet50

    then go admire that car in videos of that and buy one if you can even afford it.

  • in its segment, in its segment,... the mclaren I now creates segments

  • Looks like a pussified F1.

  • @brandonjlacy

    And what makes YOU and expert? You're some kind of engineer or designer? No doubt you're very knowledgeable in such things, pardon my sarcasm.

  • I seriously hope Ferrari and McLaren make Porsche feel forced to push cayman performance to what he really can and should be doing.

  • @jh5kl

    The Cayman isn't in the same pricerange. Porsche has no need to change that one.

  • @McLarenMercedes I feel really bad that the only (buyable model I mean) middle rear engine Porsche has his performance compromised by an "engine on the luggage compartiment" car, the 911. what I mean is I really, really would like to see a 458, a mp4-12c from Porsche.

  • american wankers haha

  • America makes cars that have a ton of power and they have made some all time greats (the original Ford GT-40 and the Shelby 427 Cobra's, but they simply cannot compete with Europe when it comes to great all around sports cars. America goes fast in a straight line, but Europe can do that AND go round a track. Plus the build quality of the cars and technology is far superior. The mighty Vette ZR-1 got beat by the 2009 911 Turbo which is only a 6 cylinder.

  • Is that video on youtube?

  • @jeanareighnbeau

    Hate to say this but the body of the Shelby Cobra was based on the British AC Ace chassis. Carroll Shelby bought a few of those and got the idea to shoehorn a Ford V8 in this lightweight chassis to make the ultimate racecar.

    The Ford GT40 was based on a chassis Eric Broadley of Lola cars had started but never finished. Lola cars is British too.

    Did I mention the Viper's V10 engine got re-engineered by Lamborghini from an engine originally meant for trucks.

  • @jeanareighnbeau have you reserched your proof at all??? no offense but you should look up our cars.

    for example you said the zr1 was beaten by the 911 turbo, yea i have that magazine were they tested the two and let me give you some information.

    the lap times around the track resulted in the zr1's favor it ran 1:20.1 while the nissan gtr ran a 1:20.9 and the slowest porsche ran a 1:21.3

    continue ----------

  • @Inklebonker1 --------------continue

    because the zr1 is rear wheel drive it is the slowest off the line but then catches and passes the rest of the competition: (corvette zr1, Nissan gtr, Porsche 911 turbo) 0-60 3.5 3.3 3.5/ 0-100 7.3 8.0 7.9 / 0-120 9.9 11.5 11.4

    lateral accel: ZR1 1.04g GTR 1.01g 911 turbo 1.01g slalom: ZR1 74.9 GTR 74.8 911 73.0

    braking from 80 to 0: ZR1 194ft GTR 190ft 911t 195ft

    continue-----------

  • @Inklebonker1 -------------continue

    OO MY DOES THAT MEAN AN AMERICAN CAR CAN OUT TURN A EUROPEAN CAR???

    american cars cant go around a track is that right..

    corvette zr1 runs 7:26.4 and the dodge viper acr runs 7:22.1 on the nuburgring circut

  • @Inklebonker1 ------------------continue

    those are both faster than the new porsche 911 turbo which runs 7:26.7

    and may i add that the zr1 vette and the acr viper arent specially tuned race cars ment just for racing in the nurburgring like the record holders now. and both of these cars wont cost half a milion to get.

    continue-------

  • @Inklebonker1 -------continue

    cars from the US arent strangers to being the best cars in the world infact we currently hold the world record for the fastest car Shelby ssc ultimate aero.

    i think you should re think american automobiles :)

  • @Inklebonker1 is not shelby is not even close to the fastes. try Trevita Koenigsegg CCXR, i totaly dust shelby

  • @johnshredder1 really now have you looked up the ssc ultimate aero or are you just being stupid. in 2007 Guinness world book of records recognized it as the worlds fastest street legal production car

  • @Inklebonker1 you are really ignorant, research a little more my hunny bunny lol. good luck, prepare yourself a little better. hasta la vista.

  • @johnshredder1 no you are ignorant the bugatti veyron SS is the fastest production car;)

  • @johnshredder1 your a faggot as i can see. and um why dont you look up what the fastest production car is before you go calling people ignorant

  • @Inklebonker1 Now the veyron SS holds the title. Just because Americans can make a car go 250mph doesnt necessarily mean they make the best cars. Quality and speed are two different things. Scientists from NASA worked on the Aero SS, its a goddamn car, its not a shuttle. You miss the point of cars, its not just about going fast in a straight line, Americans always deliver on that no doubt, but they do not build quality and durable cars as do Europeans and Japanese, i dont think so

  • @fukwaynecampaign2 durability? i watched a review on the ssc ultimate aero and the guy driving it was in the triple digit Los Angeles heat. Something you cannot do with a normal super car. Also ive heard that the seats are very comfortable and have seen that the interior is exquisite. Japanese cars are too busy running away from their owners and european cars cost you your home just to stay in the shop with super expensive repairs.

  • @Inklebonker1 And have you seen Motor Trend's test of the new porsche 911 turbo vs the corvette zr1? Just a little driving around and the porsche broke both of its turbos comepletely. So if you want to still try and tell me euro and jap cars are better go ahead i just wont listen. If your getting all your information from the most biased television show on earth then i have nothing else to talk to you about.

  • @Inklebonker1 Clarkson said it best: The only thing Americans are really great at is instigating wars

  • @Inklebonker1 they're still crap

  • why do we have some American wanker presenting and not a british person who knows what they are speaking about.. love the car

  • i love the national rivalries that go on in the comments of car videos...though i will hand it to you, I like european cars better than our american cars. this car is gorgeous.

  • @mattman937

    national rivalries are stupid. A good car is a good car no matter where's it's made. Also people need to stop comparing apples to oranges.

    The big three in Detroit have been allowed to rule unapposed for far too long in the USA. The small, really innovative American manafacturers of cars, sadly went out of business. Grand names too like Duesenberg for instance.

  • Maybe because it is an American owned company, moron.

  • @brandonjlacy

    What McLaren?? Are you kidding me? Whoever told you that?

    McLaren is a British company, it's based in Woking, England. It's owned part by Ron Dennis, Monsour Ojjeh (the owner of TAG electronics) and Mercedes. Right now Ron Dennis is buying back Mercedes' part in the company. There's not a single fraction of a percent in McLaren owned by some American company.

    This makes YOU a moron.

  • @McLarenMercedes You are partly correct. McLaren Formula One McLaren Electronics and McLare Roadcars are all separate entities. Mercedes does not own any part of any of the entities besides the F1 team.

  • @brandonjlacy

    No, it's British. Everybody knows that except for you.

  • @brandonjlacy its british u idiot

  • Mclaren have an enviable ability with composite materials. The single piece hollow monocell is darn impressive. They don't shout about it, but this is perhaps the most advanced application of composites anywhere. Aerospace manufacturers are far more constrained when it comes to getting the most out of composites, unlike their automotive counterparts and Mclaren are masters at it amoung much else. If I had the money I'd buy it in a heartbeat and be happy to use it everyday. Dream on...

  • IS IT A BRITISH CAR??

  • that would be a yes.

  • beautiful car except those ugly side mirrors that stick out like dogs balls!!

  • Lmao.

  • anche il motore a vista è una caratteristica della ferrari sin da quando è nata

  • alot of will never even get to ride in one, i own a eclipse gsx, and it sits during the winter months imagine this car just to have someone work on it would cost you big time, but the millionaires who buy this foolishly pay outrageous prices to have there cars maintained

  • fanno come i cinesi..... hanno copiato in formula uno ora copiano anche le macchine di serie, appropriandosi di un colore legendario ...questa è la verità e la mercedes ha fatto la stessa cosa. scusate ma è un mio parere, ciao e w la ferrari

  • Bruce mclaren would be so proud. That car is just one lottory win away..

  • BEAUTIFULL!!!

  • what happened to the iconic driver's middle center position?

  • @russndude

    not very practical is it?? try to get into one...

  • man...at first when he started talkin i though it was macintosh..yuh know the dude from that voice recon thing in ur windows control panel then voice thing.....man the dude who sounds like a robot in yur pc...damn..LOL

  • And it has room for your children, 3 suitcases and a wet cocker spaniel!

    Wow this guy can sell!

  • I would buy this over a Ferrari or a Lamborghini...if I can afford it.

  • Its nice, it has some how flashy looks but yet so nice.

  • se parece al 458 italia

  • its`realy good looking car :)

  • emm im not sure what people are saying, put i think we shloud all just stop and listen ti the very clear points he's making, all htey want to do is build a very good car why is eveyone against them

  • plese tell me im not the only one who thinks this car is ugly

  • I was really disappointed when I first saw the car, but I'm realizing mclaren is using really ugly colors for their display models. I bet it would look much better in black. But it does kinda look like it came out of the early 90's...

  • Did you hear what maclaren did to make thier f1?

    They stole information on a ferrari to make it, now theve been suid for i think it was one hundred million and thier having 20 points removed from thier f1 racing team.

    sad.............

  • wow. that's sad

  • and to think they charged a milion for a stolen vehicle.

  • @Inklebonker1

    first of all they didn't steal a vehicle. Mike Coughlan their former engineer got a look at some of Ferrari's accumulated data from their tests and possible some blueprints for a future Ferrari Formula 1 car. And you seem to be UNAWARE Formula 1 racing has NOTHING to do with the McLaren F1 roadcar. Take a look at a F1 racing car, it looks like your IndyCars but is way more advanced.

    Gordon Murray designed the F1 roadcar, which only has the name in common.

  • @Inklebonker1

    and to think you know you know zippo, the McLaren F1 wasn't stolen you moron, the espionage scandal was in Formula 1 racing in 2007. There they don't drive that roadcar either you clown.

  • @Inklebonker1

    That's bollocks! Your brain was stolen from the zoo.

  • do that happened in 08

  • um say that again please i couldnt understad it no offense

  • dude*

  • no the formula 1 scandal

  • @Inklebonker1

    you're an idiot, no offense

    you're stupid enough not to realize Formula 1 racing has nothing to do with the F1 car roadcar from 1994. And this MP4-12C has nothing to do with Formula 1 racing in 2007 either.

  • @Inklebonker1

    you're talking out of your ass. In case you're talking about their roadcar then that was designed by Gordon Murray from the ground up. If you're talking about the 2007 season then you are half right. It's just that ALL teams use info from other teams and Ferrari is no exception. In fact they bought all the engineers from other teams in the 80's and 90's and copied every single innovation in F1 from British teams.

  • @McLarenMercedes r u done trying to make yourself look cool???? first off i got some wrong information and have just found out what happened i wasnt saying anything against mclaren i just was misled you obviously never get false information.

  • @Inklebonker1

    Do you even know what Formula 1 is? It seems you're oblvious to the fact their former roadcar F1 has absolutely nothing to do with the F1 racing series.

    McLaren lost all their points for 2007. But in 2008 Lewis Hamilton was world champion with McLaren and this time they proved it to everybody.

    Ferrari never invented jack shit in Formula 1. Rearengined cars, monocoque chassis, wings, slicks, ground effect, and tons of other stuff was pioneered by Lotus, Cooper, McLaren etc

  • @Inklebonker1

    Sad thing the likes of you even get born. You can't even fucking spell to sued. Not to mention they weren't sued but punished by the FIA. They got all the money.

  • your not, so it better be fast

  • o it really better be, the only ugly cars i would accept are the pagani the zenvo st1 and the citroen gt because how fast they are

  • This v Audi R8. You can see it.

  • lol i liked when he said C02 and fuel economy he looked to his left then right rofl

  • this is what I'm talking about~ give you 10stars...

  • Lol! Before you see the man talking I actually thought I was listening to a computer voice. Lol!

  • It looks compact due to the design but it must be big. He said it's practical so that means this is more of an Audi R8 than a Ferrari yet it will be taking the likes of the 458 Italia and Gallardo LP560-4. I know people would say "I'll take a Ferrari or a Lamborghini." I'll go wit h the Mclaren. It's understated and not much of an "In your face" kind of car.

    And I kinda like his accent especially when he pronounced Ferrari and Lamborghini.

  • I have one =D

  • it isn't even out of the prototype stage yet you idiot

  • you are idiot --'

    I have an Prototype ASSHOLE

    suck me, my MCLaren and My MONEY

  • rrriiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhht

  • lolihhi

  • This guy is sweating like he just got done climbing a mountain.  haha

  • i'd take a 458 italia

  • Naja

  • Did he say it was discreet? Hmmm.

  • the aston one-77 creams this cars ass!!! and most other cars too

  • :/ maybe, maybe not, we' have to see them side by side on the show room floor and on the street /race track, but the Aston Martin is 1.77 million pounds.. and the point is? i mean it's an AWESOME looking car and i'm sure it's v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v. fast, but 1.77 million? it's just too much for most people im afraid :/

  • too true...like the looks, hate the price

  • This has the most amazing sides, EVER.

  • f U this car , Ferrari is the best!!

  • than go for your ferrari dun come here and post some useless comment

    go home and call ur mama buy u a ferrari toy car idiot

  • BUY A FERRARI AND STOP COMENTING

  • @carl206rc

    you go to school first and learn how to spell. Then you'd know commenting has two M's in it.

    RIch people have already placed 2500 interests in this car, so you can shut up.

  • @JULIOAD1

    WAIT until they have some ROADTESTS.

    Those will speak the TRUTH. You can read them and weep. In case you even know how to read.

    Learn better English too.

  • Why get rid of the central driving position!?

  • to make it more practical like he said
