2012 McLaren MP4-12C


McLaren is one of those storied names in motoring, from its successful Formula One team to its iconic McLaren F1 supercar of the 1990s. The MP4 will be powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 mounted amidships and driving the rear wheels. The MP4-12C's construction relies heavily on carbon fiber and aluminum. The 2012 McLaren MP4-12C's price (estimated to be about $265,000) will be considerably less than that of the legendary McLaren F1 (which was never officially sold here) or Mercedes SLR McLaren.

2012 McLaren MP4-12C are needed only 100 yards to make it clear that will not play by the rules Enzo supercar. We hope to MP4 that will quickly and track-hungry, but we noted a stroller ride with “normal” mode engaged for chassis-track scars and tarred in Mexilhoeira Grande, Portugal, where McLaren presented the fruit of seven-year labor Rang “Holy cow!” You open the door of the dramatic spring 2012 McLaren MP4‘s insect wings with a sweep hand flush surface along the top edge tucked under the side scoop. The most impressive part of the cockpit is arranged smart center console. There is a big red button to fire engines, one button to adjust the treatment parameters, a second button to adjust the behavior of the powertrain, and five single-button functions logically positioned. Punching hot button with the brake pedal depressed polite gesture whoosh behind your shoulder. Attract the right side of the paddle to shift gear.
Dual-clutch box provided such noise and chug-free roll-off, you’ll swear there are torque converter work here. Under light throttle, automatic upshifts smoothly and quickly executed. MP4 is the unspoken mantra is speed without the spectacle.

Fortunately, politeness is just one aspect of the soul 2012 McLaren MP4′s. With a 4000-rpm spread between peak torque and horsepower and 17.4 psi increase in the press, 2012 McLaren MP4′s engine’s 3.8-liter feels more like a strapping V-10 from a mini V-8. Torque curve as flat as the electric motor.

2012 McLaren MP4 said that broad torque curve and 5.4 pounds per horsepower will hit 458 Italian Ferrari on the run to 60 mph (in three seconds flat) and through the quarter mile (less than 11 seconds). MP4 will examine critical and box speediness joy-ride. If you fill out a curve with excessive speed, MP4 automatically apply the brakes in the rear to reduce understeer you are provoked. MP4 has two special weapons found in no other supercar. Low Seat bolsters are spread to accommodate the thighs of thunder, defects easily solved by ordering the optional sports seats. A sport, lightweight exhaust system also comes hard. Lastly, MP4 can use the mat better than rat fur covering doorsills.

However, MP4 A to gain inspiration and execution.
Bumps don’t jangle its nerves. We expected the MP4 to be quick and track-hungry, but the baby-carriage ride we noted with the “normal” chassis mode—engaged for the scarred and tarred paths in Mexilhoeira Grande, Portugal, where McLaren presented the fruits of its seven-year labor—rang our “holy cow!” bell.

McLaren MP4-12C Super Sport Design Car


McLaren Automotive officially presented MP4-12C supercar, previously known under the code name P11 and is the first car from the time of the legendary F1.
Double mid McLaren MP4-12C was completed “in one piece” carbon chassis, which carries the aluminum and special plastic body panels. Eight-installed 3.8-liter engine with an angle of 90 degrees to the collapse of the cylinders and the two turbines. Its capacity is about 600 horsepower and maximum torque is 595 Nm (80 per cent of which is already available from 2000 rpm).
The motor will be used with the seven-Graziano robotized transmission with dual-clutch transmission and a choice taxied. According to preliminary data from the ground up to “hundreds” McLaren supercar will drive for about three seconds. Its top speed of 320 kilometers per hour.
Sales of McLaren MP4-12C, which is scheduled to release a limited edition of one thousand copies, will be no earlier than 2011. The car will do to the markets of USA, UK, Germany, Europe and the Middle East.

Mercedes-Benz McLaren Sports Cars SLR Stirling Moss

Bearing the namesake of legendary British racer Stirling Moss, the McLaren SLR Stirling Moss, will be making its big debut as the newest McLaren SLR variant amongst the automotive elite (and few entries from Kia) at the 38th Annual North American International Auto Show in Detroit this January.
Mercedes-Benz McLaren Sports Cars SLR Stirling Moss
Stuttgart– Mercedes-Benz and McLaren are adding the crowning glory to the model family of their highly successful SLR super sports car with a new, uncompromisingly spectacular car. There is neither a roof nor a windscreen to separate the driver and passenger from the outside world; they enjoy unadulterated high-speed excitement with all the attributes of a speedster.
The new SLR Stirling Moss is also characterised by the most sophisticated technology and a breathtaking design which reinterprets the SLR legend. With 478 kW/650 hp the SLR Stirling Moss accelerates its V8 supercharged engine from standstill to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 350 km/h – no other series-production car is at the same time so open and so fast.
This extreme concept makes the new high-performance sports car a legitimate bearer of the name of the British motor racing legend and Mille Miglia record-holder Stirling Moss, who drove the legendary Mercedes-Benz SLR racing cars from victory to victory during the 1950s.
A successful collaboration of engineering which is demonstrated far beyond the relatively ancillary exclusion of a windscreen, the SLR Stirling Moss is truly an equal celebration of McLaren’s both past and present. Thus in keeping with its status as a rare breed, production of the SLR Stirling Moss will be limited to only 75 units and, to further prevent your uncultured, peasant hands from touching it, each unit will be priced at a cool $1.04 million (€750,000).
This is why the modern-day version of the legendary SLR carries the additional words “Stirling Moss” in its name. As the new SLR Stirling Moss unites the character of the current SLR models with the fascination of the SLR of 1955. The core values of both the historical and the present-day SLR models include an exciting new design, innovative technology, high-class materials displaying perfect craftsmanship, and, above all: a unique driving experience for all the senses.
Whilst the 300 SLR earned its spurs on racing circuits the world over, the new member of the SLR family is not designed for the racetrack. Although it sets new standards in terms of technology, performance and excitement – just like its forebears – it is aimed at individuals who have exquisite requirements and nurture very special dreams.
Remaining totally true to the specifications of the 300 SLR, the new Silver Arrow’s equipment is extremely sophisticated and yet at the same time decidedly spartan, doing without both a roof and side windows. There are just two wind deflectors a couple of centimetres in height to protect the driver and passenger from the airflow. Two air scoops integrated into the bodywork serve as roll-over bars. With this extreme concept the new SLR Stirling Moss is visually very different from all the other vehicles which belong to the elite sports car class.
Just like the legendary racing vehicles of yesteryear, the SLR Stirling Moss dazzles with its superlative performance. Accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and with a top speed of 350 km/h this puristic high-performance sports car denotes completely new dimensions in open-top driving. And not just because of the impressive performance figures; every time drivers take to the wheel of the SLR Stirling Moss their senses are addressed with a previously unheard of intensity, conveying a driving experience in its purest and most sensual form. This automotive thoroughbred thus facilitates the kind of open-air feeling that is utterly unique for a road-going vehicle.
Developers working on the Stirling Moss were able to fall back on a wealth of experience gathered when producing the SLR CoupĂ© and Roadster, in particular where the technical base was concerned, with its extravagant carbon-fibre design, high-performance suspension and throaty V8 engine. The common denominator uniting the Stirling Moss with the other members of the SLR family is the aerodynamic concept with a closed underbody and a diffuser in the rear bumper for maximum possible downforce at the rear axle – with one difference: the diffuser here is considerably larger than that on the coupĂ© and roadster.
The new SLR Stirling Moss is the kind of high-calibre speedster coveted by the sporting gentry and enthusiasts alike. At the same time it is a collector’s item which marks the pinnacle of an era and, for the foreseeable future, at least, the final curtain for the SLR. In May 2009 production of the SLR models will cease; only a total of 75 units of the Stirling Moss will be manufactured between June and December 2009, bearing chassis numbers from 1 to 75. Not only does this exclusive vehicle represent the conclusion of the current SLR family; it also serves as a very special thank you to the most loyal of SLR customers, for they are the only ones able to acquire a Stirling Moss.
