Sports Car McLaren MP4-12C

ADVERTISEMENTS


The new McLaren MP4-12C is the first in a range of high-performance sports cars from McLaren Automotive, the world’s most successful racing car company. McLaren set to re-write the rules of sports car design through Formula 1-inspired engineering, revolutionary chassis architecture and absolute focus on efficiency.



The new McLaren MP4-12C is the first in a range of high-performance sports cars from McLaren Automotive, the world’s most successful racing car company. McLaren set to re-write the rules of sports car design through Formula 1-inspired engineering, revolutionary chassis architecture and absolute focus on efficiency.



„It is a long-held dream of mine to launch high performance sports cars that set new standards in the industry“ says Ron Dennis, McLaren Automotive Chairman. 3.8 Litres V8 motor, 600 HP and a revolutionary carbon fibre chassis structure that only weighs 160 pounds are only a few of the many perks the McLaren MP4-12C offers. In fact, it’s the first time a car in this market segment is based around such a strong and lightweight racing car engineering solution and no other car has ever featured a one-piece carbon fibre structure.



Formula 1 based sports car design



This step in sports car design means that the new McLaren introduces new standards not only in handling, ride and outright performance, but also safety, economics and practicality.



A very special highlight is the interior design which reminds the driver of a Formula 1 cockpit: the assistant system “Brake Steer”, two electrically adjustable seats, operational controls in the doors and the centre console and a touchscreen for the navigation system as well as for the high-end sound system are to be found.

2012 McLaren MP4-12C

2012 McLaren MP4-12C in front side view


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.

Volker Mornhinweg, the AMG boss, declared last week that the horsepower war is over and they won’t try to reach extreme performances with the cars they modify. Hartmut Feyhl, the boss from Renntech, still likes powerful cars which can reach incredible speeds and he announced that his company will reveal Renntech 777 Mercedes SLR McLaren, a car developed to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary, which has 777 HP. The car tuner says this is a completely new street legal track car and it will have a new body kit with improved aerodynamics, a big rear wing, new splitters and new side skirts. The car will be powered with a modified 5.5L supercharged Kompressor V8 engine and it will feature a new suspension, driveline and a special slip differential made by Renntech.



The Renntech 777 Mercedes SLR McLaren will have a top speed around 210 mph and the company says they will build only 20 versions of this car. They haven’t announced it’s price yet, but we’re pretty sure it won’t be cheap.

McLaren F1 (1993)

ADVERTISEMENTS
McLaren F1 (1993)
The McLaren F1 is a sports car designed and manufactured by Gordon Murray and McLaren Automotive. On March 31, 1998, it set the record for the fastest production car in the world, 240 mph (391 km/h). As of April 2009, the McLaren F1 is succeeded by three faster cars in sheer top speed, but is still the fastest naturally aspirated production car.It features a powerful engine and is somewhat track oriented, but not to the degree that it compromises everyday usability and comfort.Turbochargers and superchargers increase power but they increase complexity and can decrease reliability as well as introducing an additional aspect of latency and loss of feedback, the ability of the driver to maintain maximum control of the engine is thus decreased. Murray initially approached Honda for an NA powerplant with 550 bhp (410 kW; 560 PS), 600 mm (23.6 in) block length and a total weight of 250 kg (551 lb), it should be derived from the Formula One powerplant in the then-dominating McLaren/Honda cars.
