Whilst we are in the mist of writing a full description for this superb McClaren, here's some techinical info for you to enjoy but do please in the meantime call Julien Sumner on +44(0)7788 865700 should you wish to come and see or discuss it in further detail.
Engine & Performance
The 12C is powered by a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, internally designated M838T. The aluminium engine with dry-sump lubrication produces roughly 592
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch “Seamless Shift Gearbox” (SSG) from Graziano, offering lightning-fast gear changes and a performance-focused driving experience.
Performance figures are outstanding: 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in roughly 3.1 seconds, a top speed in excess of 200 mph (330 km/h), and a power-to-weight ratio that puts it firmly in supercar territory.
Chassis and Handling
The MP4-12C’s handling is enhanced by McLaren’s ProActive Chassis Control (PCC) - an advanced hydraulic suspension system that adjusts in real-time to driving conditions. The driver also has independent control over powertrain and handling settings, allowing customisation of engine response, gearbox logic, and suspension firmness.
Aerodynamics are equally clever: an active rear airbrake deploys under heavy braking to help slow the car, and the low, wide stance aids high-speed stability.
Interior& Practicality
Inside, the MP4-12C keeps drivers focused with a minimalist yet high-tech cabin. There’s a centre-mounted tachometer flanked by digital displays, a touchscreen infotainment system, and high-quality trim with options for bespoke finishes. Front luggage space is reasonably generous for the class, and practical for soft bags.
