McLaren MP4-12C sports car for tough guys

McLaren MP4-12C - the new sports car by McLaren

F1 car history provided the inspiration for the naming of the McLaren MP4-12C, the new sports car revealed by the company today.

The car shares the same naming convention used by the team’s F1 cars. It falls between McLaren’s 1997 MP4-12 (which won three Grands Prix) and the 1998 MP4-13 (which won both world championship titles).

This is probably because of the ‘brake steer’ technology fitted to the car, which is related to the same innovation which appeared on the 1997 and 1998 McLaren F1 cars. It was banned by the FIA early in 1998.

Brake steer applies the brakes to the inside rear wheel during high-speed cornering to reduce understeer. On the F1 cars this was operated by an extra brake pedal, but on the MP4-12C the system is electronic.

The car is powered by a 600bhp 3.8-litre V8 engine built by McLaren, making it an all-McLaren production. Its predecessor, the McLaren F1, used an engine supplied by BMW.

It also has a Formula 1-style seamless shift gearbox but does not have the distinctive central driving position of the McLaren F1.

The MP4-12C is seen as the successor to the F1 road car, designed in 1993 by Gordon Murray and Peter Stevens. Murray is not involved in the new project and is developing a new supercar design of his own, which he says will not rival the performance of the F1. He is also currently working on a compact, low-emissions city car called the T25.

The MP4-12C has been Ron Dennis’s project for the road car division since he stepped down from the race team earlier this year and the company will build around 1,000 per year. Now more than ever, McLaren is becoming a rival for Ferrari off the track as well as on it.

McLaren MP4-12C Sports Car finally revealed

The big news from the summer of 2007 and the subsequent rumor mill of McLaren's upcoming top secret P11 sportscar has finally culminated into a masterpiece-the MP4-12C.We take a closer look at this much awaited blue-blooded McLaren sportscar.




McLaren MP4-12C

McLaren Automotive has revealed its MP4-12C, the first in a range of high-performance sports cars. The 12C, and future models within the range, says the company, will challenge the world's best sports cars.

The MP4-12C is a high-performance, two-seat, mid-engined model in the sports car market segment for cars costing between £125,000 and £175,000 ($225,000 to $310,000). The 12C is pure McLaren, featuring no carryover parts from any other car, and it will be produced in Britain. It goes on sale in early 2011.

"It is a long-held dream of mine to launch a range of high-performance sports cars that set new standards in the industry," says Ron Dennis, chairman of McLaren Automotive.

"We began designing and building cars for aficionados of thoroughbred sports cars almost 20 years ago. Incorporating the leading-edge technologies that the McLaren Group has built up within its various companies, I believe we are now perfectly placed to open up this new chapter in McLaren's history."

At its heart, the MP4-12C features a revolutionary carbon-fibre chassis structure - the Carbon MonoCell - the first time, says the company, a car in this market segment is based around such a strong and lightweight racing car engineering solution and the first time any car has ever featured a one-piece carbon-fibre structure.

The 12C is powered by a McLaren M838T 3.8-litre, V8 twin-turbo engine producing around 600 horsepower, driving through a McLaren seven-speed Seamless Shift dual-clutch gearbox (SSG). The company says it is targeting not only new standards for engine power and performance in its sector but also class-leading fuel economy and CO2 emissions.

Throughout its history, McLaren's automotive division has built one of the world's most critically acclaimed supercars, the McLaren F1 (1993-1998), as well as the world's best-selling luxury supercar - the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (2003-2009).
