Today, as the first MP4-12C production cars enter the McLaren Technology Centre, segment-best performance data and full technical specification for the innovative new high performance sports car is confirmed.
- 592 BHP @ 7,000 RPM
- 443lbs foot of torque @ 3,000-7,000 RPM
- Weight of 1434 kgs
- 24.2 MPG
- 455 BHP per tonne
- Top speed 205 miles per hour
- 0-62 in 3.3 seconds
- 0-124 in 9.1 seconds
- Braking from 62-0 in 100 feet
So, are these the figures you were expecting? Does the MP4-12C live up to your expectations in the new supercar world which isn’t dominated by absolute top speed but by how it puts the power down? I’m hoping that the 12C is extremely accessible and can make any owner feel like a hero from day 1. Time will tell but I’ll bet it makes a great GT3 car too.
