Description

The MP4-12C uses an F1 style one piece carbon fibre tub composite chassis and is powered by a longitudinally mounted McLaren M838T 3.8 twin-turbocharged V8 engine, generating approximately 616BHP at 7,500 rpm and weighing in at just 1301 KG. Power is transmitted to the wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission Seamless-Shift gearbox (SSG) manufactured by Graziano Trasmissioni. This combination propels the car from 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 215 mph., The car makes use of Formula 1-sourced technologies such as 'brake steer', where the inside rear wheel is braking during fast cornering to reduce understeer. The suspension consists of a unique hydraulic configuration to suspend the vehicle as opposed to more traditional coil springs, dampers and anti-roll bars. What McLaren has called 'ProActive Chassis Control' providing a firmer, competent suspension setup in spirited driving and a very plush, compliant and comfortable ride when moving at slower, constant speeds., The Spider retains the dihedral doors of the coupé and features an impressive electric retractable hard top., This particular example is finished in special order Graphite Grey was selected by our Director and has had just three owners from new.
