McLaren MP4-12C Supercar Enters Final Phase of Testing

[qettyz]

In Finland that would be something like 2.000.000 € (including taxes), then few thousands € per year for car tax, same for insurance, 10k€ for gas. No luck here for any supercar! :(

[Gargarensisspire]

i heard this car costs 3 million

[Riiiisc]

@Gargarensisspire lol it's about 200,000 €

[sashoxxx]

really really very good! .. now I just need the money..

[IFyOuClicKThisuRgAy1]

ok ok to every one who says auto boxes are bad GROW UP!!!!! yes mt's are super fun but a GOOD at'tranny is any day better, look at the VW dsg for eg its faster then a mt!!!

all im saying is that its not about weather it is a MT or a AT its about good it is!!!!

[PandaMagicFTW]

Almost as good looking as the Lambo Gallardo :D

Btw, stop comparing it to the F1. The F1 cost 2-4mill, the MP4-12C cost 250k.

[kjun13]

I love how it has a deep roar rather than a high pitched whine.

[Shortyyy2195]

bks massive if there goiun to make it the fastest then it ahs to go more than 270 the buggatti veyron goes im pretty sure around 280+

[SKOPE915]

no more manual gearbox? wtf has this world come to?

[elvee88]

@SKOPE915 as u prolly know, semi-automatics are faster...

[igobytravis12]

Everything about the MP4-C12 is breathtaking, it will not surpass the F1, but i think this car has great potential to be something amazing, except the name, MP4-C12? come on now that sounds like gun off call of duty

[BKsMassive]

@igobytravis12

They are remaking a New Mclaren F1 in 2013ish.

they want to make it the fastest road car. :)

im guessing it will do at least 270 xD

[BadLuckFollows]

Ugly, I could have done better. If you have a limitless bank account, everything is easy!!!

[clkgrt]

the f1 is 1000000 times better than the mp4 the f1 is the king of every supercar in the 20 th century

[damgoodtime]

is the mclaren street legal in the U.S.?

[englandforever]

@damgoodtime US is a big market so i would imagine McLaren would make it street legal for USA

[oneviwatara]

People just buy GT-R and save yourself a boatload of money for other things.

[sobekhan]

@oneviwatara would you buy a nissan or a mclaren

[oneviwatara]

@sobekhan Yes I would buy GT-R over McLaren.

[MaRcIu27]

@oneviwatara LOL why would u buy a house if u can live on the street? hummm save the money hein? 

[oneviwatara]

@MaRcIu27, lol! I never said those thing.

[sobekhan]

@oneviwatara haha interesting. 

[jackrandall]

@oneviwatara Then you're an idiot

[oneviwatara]

@jackrandall I don't think so idiot.

[ChristianToker]

am i the only one who thinks it looks slow?

[KINZERS13GTR]

The F1 was not ONLY Gordon Murrays, Brain Child. And to say that Mclaren is a business of Idiots, is to Call Gordon an Idiot, for working with them in the first place, and he could not have completed the F alone, 1 as fantastically as McLaren did, without a  spectacular team to do it with!

[3hlang]

at 0:42 was the footage sped up?

[ASSHOLELA]

read: no gordon murray, no new mclaren f1.

without gordon, the mclaren ppl are simply screw ups.

They cant build another record breaking, legendary , epic car , even if they could , they wont.

Gordon Murray set out to create the ultimate supercar in 1992 and he succeeded, without even aiming to beat the XJ220

Now 20 years later the mclaren without Murray just want to compete with the ordinary ferrari, porsche, lamborghini, not those koenigseggs, bugatti veyron or ssc aero.

[3089280288]

@ASSHOLELA So they can sell more cars and establish it self as a real competitor at one tenth the price

[ASSHOLELA]

@3089280288

ya. i have to admit those blokes have become more business faced over the past few years....

[ObywatelMM]

GIVE BACK F1!!

[chujchujchuj]

@ObywatelMM - shut up fag!!!

[Metman07]

Is that the final name? That's quite a mouthful. Or are they going to give it a new name when it goes on sale?

[Curveball]

This car kind of looks like a Gallardo and an F430 had a baby.

[tocarev]

I've never driven McLaren F1 GTR, but I can hardly believe that there

could exist some kind of a car (even the new McLaren) that would approach to its unbelievable level. I really don't think that this one could be made. The look, the sound, the raw power and the speed of that beast are just untouchable.

[drako11256]

Well im not sure about it becoming a SUPERCAR but a really fast sports car

[madasten9]

Sexy sexy!!

[TheJasonmais]

really good look a like lamborghini gallardo this is a plagio!!!!

[BarackHOsama]

Whenever a supercar is brought up, a comparison to the Bugatti Veyron always follows...that says something.

[TheTornado4000]

Funny this car has more technology under the hood than the Veyron and still is cheaper lighter than the Veyron .

[mikej5337]

@TheTornado4000 the veyron is alot more powerful

[TheTornado4000]

@mikej5337

Yeah but has 530 hp/tonne power to weight ratio which is just to low for a Veyron and it should be more power ful than it is right now .

[knowledged23]

the ferrari italia would get in that ass

[aston1bartolotta]

this car is only 115,000 pounds, and about 210,000 dollars, so cheap for such an amaing car !

[tokay444]

too bad there's no gordon murray in here, that i can see anyway.

[BlackChrome2020]

Are they making both RHD and LHD - this is clearly Us model shown.

[tokay444]

@BlackChrome2020 why clearly? the drive in the left seat in germany.

[BlackChrome2020]

@tokay444 I am just wondering if the car will be available in all world markets, including the RHD ones like NZ or Japan, Australia etc. I sort of presumed that it will be RHD too, since its a british car.

[Jungkim88]

@BlackChrome2020 Which brings up another point... I certainly miss the center seating configuration that the McLaren F1 had.

[BlackChrome2020]

@Jungkim88 Center seating - yes, that was perfect solution. Shame nobody else utilises it in their supercars. Guess F1 is the best for a reason ;)

[armstronium]

@BlackChrome2020 As far as I know there will be RHD and LHD versions, it explains on a video presented by Jay Leno, look it up.

[JesseBochekTV]

Beautiful, but I still conclude it looks too much like a Ferrari.

[alucard0712]

Black color is extremely good for this car!!!

[ripsnorting13]

I dont know wtf other people were thinking, but the McLaren set the standard with the first car they made, and they are gonna set a better one, i mean how many times do people say hey lets make a super car better then a Porsche...no they say hey lets try to beat McLaren...o well they can try.

[BKsMassive]

THIS CAR IS MEANT TO BE ABLE TO STOP FROM 62MPH TO 0 IN 30METER! :o

[robojonie1]

the front looks like a ferrari ..............just a COPY of other supercars

[BKsMassive]

@robojonie1

no it doesnt.

[BigGee84]

@robojonie1 It doesn't look like any Ferrari I've seen. Perhaps you would like to point out which model you're referring to? Most would agree the 12C is loosely based on the F1. Odd that.

[swageronyou]

beefed up lotus lma0!!

[VashDrinks]

@swageronyou Beefed up Lotus? Wtf get that blunt out of yo ass. This is McLaren at its best.

[posro1988]

@VashDrinks actually beefed up lotus sounds like a pretty sweet deal when you think about it, not that that's the case here

[sghicia87]

belissimo

[svukovic315]

Is this car gonna be faster than the GTR around the nurburgring?

[djdragosh]

@svukovic315 I don't think they are even in the same league

[svukovic315]

@djdragosh GTR is in the Top league.

[Liist]

@svukovic315

It's got a mid-engine, more horsepower, and lighter weight. It better beat the GT-R. I love the GT-R, but a supercar such as this one better beat the GT-R and the Corvette ZR1 as well.

[svukovic315]

@Liist that doesnt answer my question lol. I dont think it can get a faster time around the nurburgring track.

[Cycu973]

Configure Mclaren !!! mclrenautomotive !!

[antoniodirty]

El McLaren MP4-12C es más bonito que el Ferrari 458 Italia y que el Lamborghini Murcielago SV, Ademas de que es más Rapido.

[quasimodo1141]

So McLaren is copying Ferrari even here, abandoning the philosophy behind McLaren F1. Goodbye England. Your cars are dead, even the good few.

[huntmastab]

@quasimodo1141 their are only so many practical bodies some of them are bound to be similar

[thomson765]

you don't have understanding of cars and formula1... McLaren was the first with a full carbon body in F1 ... and this car absolutely doesn't look like any ferrari...

[wolfyys]

@quasimodo1141 Copying ferrari?, if you think the MP4 looks like any ferrari I suggest you come off what ever your taking.

[yakadee1]

@wolfyys The front end is strikingly similar to a Ferrari 360/430. That is a common comment on many auto blogs.

[luckyjames001]

is this car the ugly brother of the lambo???

[daders125]

the ferrari is more beautiful...

[ixtellyxi]

don't look that nice.

[ensh]

look`s like corvette

[yaseenshuja1]

yep thats why it has 4 holes for brakelights

[JCY006]

I sewar this car reminds me of a F430, or the new 458 Italia...

[Beatdown2k8]

Yeh And I own 12 veyrons 3 Ferrari 250gtos...

[xanibars]

im thinking of buying this bad boy, i already have the F1

[Dakoder]

...yep you own an F1 and don't have a video to prove it...righhhhhht

[F1NN69]

he probablly owns one in forza 3

[Dakoder]

lol!

[bob333336]

no, you don't...

[joyfulvulture]

heh this car is so targeted at competing with the 458. the design philosophy is basically the same.

[gearss100]

it looks like a ferrari 430

[badbrandott]

@gearss100 the front do but the back look like the lambo reventon

[LeoBloomWilder]

Yeesh. Looks like a carved up Mitsubishi, especially the rear end.

[WaTcHuMuCaLLiT]

this car sounds like it roaring through the track.....i think they could of made it look better because the looks of the old f1 were revolutionary at the time

[gerfall]

Bugatti aint got shit! on Mclaren!

[thnk4urself]

@gerfall shut the fuck up. why does it have to be like that with you people? anyone who really loves cars can't deny that the Veyron is spectacular. If it's not your favorite car, why not just not talk about it? or just find some other way to compliment a car, or is your mind that simplistic? eitherway, they're both great cars

[gerfall]

@thnk4urself I am entitled to my opinion whether you like it or not.

[thnk4urself]

@gerfall true but if the Veyron wasn't as highly acclaimed as it is therefore making you jealous, you would find another way to compliment this great car. I guess though the fact that you're even acknowledging the Veyron is a sort of compliment to it, like it's the standard that all cars should be compared to bcuz that it what you just did.

[gerfall]

@thnk4urself Jealous? why would I be jealous over a car?

[thnk4urself]

@gerfall well then why mention it? jealous isn't exactly the right word though. it's unimportant but the fact that so many people compare cars to the Veyron says that it's at least a decent car like any McLaren

[gerfall]

@thnk4urself Cause i can mention it all I want and I can voice my opinion.

[thnk4urself]

@gerfall again, like I said that's true and it's not even your opinion that I care about but you wouldn't be mentioning the Veyron if it wasn't a benchmark in the supercar world. there are other supercars that actually are garbage, like most American supercars for example. opinion or not the MP4-12C isn't desinged to compete with the Veyron anyway and you should know that

[gerfall]

@thnk4urself It's OVERRATED, only reason I mentioned it. Did i say the MP4-12C is made to compete with the Veyron. NO. The McLaren F1 on the otherhand dominates that overrated 2 tons car with 4 turbochargers slapped onto 2 V8 engines.

[thnk4urself]

@gerfall if it's overated your not helping that fact by talking about it. and if you really weren't thinking they're in competition then you could've compared it to a Ford focus or something but you're too fuckin dumb to realize even though it's nearly 2 tons, it will destroy the MP4 around the track anyways. watch and see when that happens and then cry bcuz you got no otherway to talk about cars without involving the best car ever made that you somehow don't like

[gerfall]

@thnk4urself Did i even mention the MP4 being better then it? I said McLaren, not once did i mention the MP4. Look at you get all worked up over a simple thing i said ONE MONTH AGO. And im not gonna bother fighting with someone who is bias, "the best car ever made". Buggati Veyron IS NOT the best car ever made. Sorry buddy.

[BlackChrome2020]

@gerfall Shut up IDIOT - never ever insult the McLaren F1 ever again, you knob. You clearly don't even know how mu8ch F1 weighs, so much for your knowledge.

[whiteshadow001]

kinda reminds me of a mix between a lotus and ferarri

[RobertsonMystery]

and a little bit of lambo

[prod1gy3000]

The McLaren F1 broke and re-wrote every rule that top-end sports cars knew. No car that's ever been produced since has left its competition so far behind like the F1 did in the early 90's.

If this thing even comes close to living up to that rep, I'd call it a success.

[Akabuena]

finally! mclaren is doin a come bacc to kicc some ass!

[gullwing14]

So is Bugatti! They're comin' out with a 4 door sedan with the same 16 cylinder engine as the Veyron, but instead of four turbochargers, two hyper chargers, and alot of other good stuff, i think it's meant to rival the Rolls-Royce Phantom. It's called the Bugatti 16C Galibier.

[Akabuena]

@gullwing14 of course, everyone has to compete to make their car number one in the market. i saw picture of the Bugatti 16C Galibier, it looks giant. n for my opinion, the galibier looks better than the phantom for my opinion

[McLarenMercedes]

what's a "hypercharger"? Surely you mean supercharger?

[Zapust]

@Akabuena I bet this car will beat the living crap out of the 458 italia, Porsche GT2 and maybe ever GT2 RS

[Akabuena]

@Zapust i agree with u, im pretty sure this mclaren is gonna be a good car... still good but not as good as the first ancestor hehe.

[Zapust]

@Akabuena Yeah.. but... As said, this is not a "Newer version" of the F1.. But this one will be damn good! You can just imagine the performance of this car after the heavy work that was put into this car.

[Akabuena]

@Zapust true true, mclaren is comin back, hopefully they will go for LM or maybe jgtc who knows

[Zapust]

@Akabuena Actually saw some clips of the F1.. From the development.. It was absolutely amazing :) All though Jeremy Clarkson said in one of hes reviews that the gearbox was jerky.. it was tail heavy and instable..

[Akabuena]

@Zapust i guess all cars have their up n down thats y... no1 will ever make the perfect car that every1 will like cuz it might matter of style, brand, performance n the most that matter, price of course.

[Zapust]

@Akabuena And thats the best point I've heard this year!

[jackrandall]

@Zapust He hasn't driven it yet!

[jackrandall]

This car is definately gonna give the 458 a run for its money. The early signs already show it beats it all round. Very nice car and very well priced, can't wait to see it on Top Gear.

[wefghfdghfg]

No. Maybash Exelero and the car batmans

[carl206rc]

sounds great

[ButterBass]

Batmans car

[CLField15]

Looks like a hybrid between an Aston Martin DB9 and an Audi R8, Looks really nice and a nice sound to it.

[MitchTheHItman]

nice cars

[RomanSedlak]

yea sounds as a diesel:D:D:D thats a real joke

[LsnakeM]

ferrari 458 italia

[WhiteMouse77]

Kurva kdo??!!.... McLaren??!! .....A kurva!!!

[darrennz2008]

no personality what so ever ... crap exhaust note , and probably stupidly over priced

[iwasadeum]

the exhaust sound is a matter of opinion. The price is $250,000....better performance than ferrari and lambo for 1/2 the price.

[Nickomfacc]

looks a bit like a very fast version of the lotus evora

[omgmitzidis2]

lexus lfa 4 the win

[tommypickles09]

Way to much Lotus flare...Not really diggin the exhaust note either

[shadman1911]

I get everything about this car ... except the name... MP4-12C... I don't think I would want to get to a place in this car where people have cars named has gallardo... vanquish... it's just not exciting.... it sounds has a product made in china.

They should name it something like "Scouting Eagle" our "loads of pussy"...lol

[artemisclydefrog88]

@shadman1911 "loads of pussy' has my vote

[shadman1911]

lol

[Persianbmw94]

@shadman1911 You should copyright "loads of pussy"

[shadman1911]

That's a billion dollar ideia my friend...

[Howie262]

It sounds Godly...........

[AdidelaMedias]

Good looking car but it sounds like a NASCAR in those drive-by's :(

[Chipslice]

looks abit similar to the 458 italia!!!

[AutoStylingBergeFord]

This looks like a great car! Seems like a lot of thought has gone into development. I think it looks awesome in the flat black!!

[j8hx]

pretty good

[carlillostube]

that car has the front of a f430, the sides of a gallardo and the back of the r8!!!

[Cicano83]

Looks like a Lotus Europa.

[PijnigeR]

@Cicano83 More like Evora.

[Serratosfan]

GREAT CAR!

[m4sterch13f222]

Is there a suggestion box of a brand, because I have a fucking awesome idea which I want to donate to porsche or Bmw.

[jowan7]

shit hot looking but i think thay should of keep the middle diving precision coz then its diffrent to all the uther cars

[ShaoKarn335]

They admit its not a full looker compared to lambos etc but thats the whole point about this car. They dont want there buyers looking like cocks/show off

[77ROLLS77]

well, its not as nice as the first one , it looks too mutch like a lotus :/ and the sound of it isnt very nice either , if it is 40 grand its a good buy , but if it is a sky high price like 200 thousand i wud mutch rather get a lambo or whatever car is worth 200 smackers

[Nickamsweet]

first comment ftw!! Gorgeous car!
