McLaren Unveils MP4-12C Supercar

Sep 9 2009, 6:39am CDT | by Shane McGlaun

I still think one of the hottest exotic cars ever produced was the McLaren F1. McLaren is back with another new supercar called the MP4-12C. The vehicle is a two seat mid-engine sports car rather than a strange three seater like the original was.

Exact performance numbers are not known at this point, but the car is expected to hit 200mph and hit 60mph in under four seconds. The engine is a 3.8-litre V8 with 600bhp at 8400 rpm. The power is sent to a seven-speed dual clutch gearbox with paddle shifters.

The car will also feature a brake steer system that applies the brakes to the inside wheel in a turn to help cornering. Ceramic brakes will be an option and the car will have an audio system, AC system and more.
