McLaren F1 takes on the MP4-12C on track

Watch here to see how the new McLaren MP4-12C compares with the older, more focused F1 racer. In a rare opportunity, Steve Sutcliffe takes them both on track to see where the similarities start and the differences end.

I would rip my dick off and throw it in the ocean just to own a F1 GTR.

Gay review.  Top Gear would've drag raced them, then put them both around the track...

@brydon189 Definitely was, and that isn't surprising because, as they said on Top Gear actually, the new Mp4-12c was developed there, which probably helps explain its astounding laptime(second fastest ever, only slower than the Atom V8 if I remember correctly, even the new Lambo couldnt beat it, though that said, while it's unlikely I'll ever own either, I'd take the Lambo, it's just so beautiful and has that awesome sounding V12 and performance figures to match it, the McLaren is great too tho)

I reeeeeally don't like steve sutcliffe...

and whenever I see one of this reviews and get excited about, I experience that little moment of dissapointment when I see his face (still can't forget his aventador review, and jersey shore style polo shirt)...

@thefunnysamnoob333 start by being successful in school, graduate go to college for something you want to be, something you're good at. Graduate, get a great job in your field. Get promoted, continue to be successful and get yourself that well deserved Ferrari.

@thechoosendude funny enough, i think this video was shot on the TGTT

20 years later and the F1 still looks better then most supercars nowadays. Hell, it looks even better then the MP4.

I don't think Top Gear would've been dumb enough to test it against this version. This is an LM Edition (five produced, plus McLaren's XP1)... it's a bit unfair to test the MP4-12C against the LM. They should've used a standard F1, as both the 12C and standard F1 are geared more as road cars.

That said, Top Gear could probably find an F1 to use... they were among the first to test the Enzo when first-round limited deliveries were made.
