2012 McLaren MP4-12C - First Drive - Car and Driver

[autofriendleads]

It would be interest to see this with Ferrari 458 Spider......

[sadanjd]

all the dislikers are a toyota owners :D

[WarpPal]

Finally Mclaren..

[oreo7007]

@SuperDriver3000 are you talking your drivers license test? Which DMV has that deal going on?

[cibaca1]

I want to see this car against Ferrari Enzo!

[GKrome]

I don't know why American narrators pail in comparison to British ones...

[nikkowlf]

is the narrator on sleeping pills?

[zhbroder]

do I hear don sherman?

[prettyrickyunc78]

the @#$% best you tube 1080p yet!!! a must see on good 1080p hdtv

[dobbins2550]

This car is as exciting as the color white. Not a good looking car at all, but not quite as ugly as the 458.

[unclepic1]

@dobbins2550 are u blind both are gorgeous 

[clunkerboy1]

now they are imitating the LFA with the retractable rear wing. lol

[Tarturus8803]

Mclaren has been using this tech for a lot longer than toyota, look at the SLR, stupid fuck.

[clunkerboy1]

@Tarturus8803 nope. look up dumbass.

[Tarturus8803]

Where the fuck has toyota used this before? in f1? Sorry innovations in F1 are made by Mclaren not toyota

[McLarenMercedes]

@Tarturus8803

Actually by Lotus, but that isn't true anymore. Anyways, most of the technology they take for granted today in F1 was pioneered and successfully raced by Lotus. Other teams built their success on the road Lotus paved.

McLaren did introduce the first all carbon fibre monocoque in F1 in 1981. It was incredibly strong and leight.

[joyfulvulture]

@clunkerboy1

"now they are imitating the LFA with the retractable rear wing"

as if the LFA is the first car to have that. it even was on the mclaren F1 in 1992.

you're quite the ignorant idiot, congrats.

[clunkerboy1]

@joyfulvulture LFA is first and made a successful retractable wing. sorry for ur ignorance.

[TVRnGTR]

@clunkerboy1 obviously you've never heard of lancia

[clunkerboy1]

@TVRnGTR yeah they are bankrupt and lacks the technology of LFA.

[TVRnGTR]

@clunkerboy1 no lancia had first retractable rear wing in the 80's on a production vehicle

[clunkerboy1]

@joyfulvulture oh ur an idiot and a dumb ass at that too.

[QOTSAPT]

great track

[petersaxoplayer2000]

i have not yet get this machine...what's the tech their they talking about? what's new? and i hate the look.. hideous in my opinion!!!!!

[mooda4208]

doesn't sound as good as a ferrari....and never will

[Pube83]

@mooda4208

The downside of turbochargers.

[magnumlaxer]

this guys voice completely destroyed the boner that car gave me

[MrIlovebmw86]

car and driver is seriously fucking worthless. " turn in is crisp" what the fuck do you expect, its a fucking supercar costing 238k. the steering better be crisp.

buncha fat guys with the easiest jobs in the world, who don't know shit about cars or engineering.

[Pube83]

@MrIlovebmw86

LMAO.

These turds also need to hire some hot shoe drivers when they do their "Lightning Lap" comparisons. That's one reason why Road&Track's "big events" are the best, they actually get talent to fully exploit the cars. And Motor Trend....eh. It's made fore the Mustang/Corvette fanboys and every other redneck.

[coolvideo28]

this car is Awsome it looks like a car of the future, but they did a horrible job on the front of the car the front doesnt fit the rest of the car it looks like a horrible copy of the lotus.

[ro1098s]

Ok good luck for this car, It won't beat ferrari, and is ugly

[feAr636]

I wish I had a job at CaD :(

[blitch1234]

At least the toyota tech commercials are better than the Volvo s60 adds that made the video run all screwey.

[jex9]

1.30 worth of video bah. Where is top gear?

[seroyer2]

I would use Toyota technology to allow be to see videos of much more interesting cars, with much more sophisticated technology.

[cturismo864]

Finally I see it in action in real life :)

[mistamontiel]

Did not see enough interior. What's wrong ? Another new piece of shit without a standard tranny ? Haha. Fucking wimps.

[cesar061605]

the king is back!!!!!!!!!!!

[phildo1048]

yeah its cool... but can it run crysis?

[uglyguitarman]

Ahaha! I saw the same track on autocar's video of the MP4-12C.

[matman142]

If it hadn't been for the car i would have fallen asleep listening to this guys voice -_-

[popopop824]

lol im never going to call it the mp4c what ever the fuck i just call it the new mclaren

[e40cally]

It gained one more horsepower

[Jamboolio]

I'm sure it's a good and fast (super)car, but the boring looks and that annoying name does not make me a fan.

[AdrianosFidi]

Beautyfull , sensational , very fast and very maneuvrable for a good price .

[Robotasaurus]

I once raced a McLaren on foot. It had a better 0-60 time, but I took the quarter mile. I'm very fast.

[GT01Mustang]

@Robotasaurus lololol

[dodsonmiddle]

i would use toyota tech to get rid of these ads on you tube

[iPlunger]

@dodsonmiddle i would use toyota technology so toyota can make a real and affordable sports car

[11112213314415516617]

@dodsonmiddle get adblocker. Google It!

[izuaff04]

love the sound of the engine....... different than others

[heatfullrat]

I want to see this car against the 458 Italia so bad ..

[TechWithLukasz]

@heatfullrat its spanks the 458. LOL. At least, I hope it does. apparently the best handling supercar right now.

[joseman409]

@heatfullrat Expect a wicked camparo from C/D soon hopefully!

[firesteako]

@heatfullrat watch fast lane daily and during the latest episode it will show a small clip of the car pulverizing a

458 and a porshe at the starting line

[gweflj]

@heatfullrat Pointless, have you seen the figures? It destroys the 458 and is lighter so will most likely handle better. Ferrari will have already gone back to the drawing board and the Scud/Challenge 458 will need to be very good to compete with the MP4-12C. It's moved the goal posts...

[naikmichel]

@heatfullrat It's already there....it eats it :) Search for: Porsche 997 Turbo vs Ferrari 458 Italia vs McLaren MP4-12C

[Pube83]

@naikmichel

That video is a joke. The 911 sits there for .5 second- that's a hell of a head start. A Turbo S will catapult to 60mph in less than 3seconds, consistently. I've seen numbers as low as 2.6sec and on to a 10.8 1/4. The 458 will hit 60 in 3.0 flat and an 11.0 1/4, same with the Gallardo 570.

And besides, listen the English prick on the track. What does that tell? It was a video by McLaren, which makes it invalid. You want timed numbers from a drag strip, not some impromptu race.

[BIGDADDYDUKE2]

@heatfullrat The raced, it wasn't even a match it got beat pretty bad by both the 911 turbo and the Mclaren. The 911 would have one but the Mclaren started before both the 458 and the 911 turbo.

[teeevon]

@heatfullrat its quicker (:

[ShorTyyHD]

@heatfullrat they did, it destroyed it

[travisalive]

@heatfullrat THEY RACED FOUND IT ON YOUTUBE

[heatfullrat]

@travisalive 6 MONTHS AGO?!?

[alexglenny]

IMO this is perfect.

It's subtle

Sexy

and won't be driven by douche bags and given a bad rep because of its humble looks.

DO WANT!

[Basti6814]

looks cool but..mmhhh

not better than a SLS or an R8
