Video:Mclaren MP4-12c Press Launch

McLaren has released an official video of last week's MP4-12C press launch.

The 12C is powered by a bespoke McLaren ‘M838T’ 3.8 litre, V8 twin-turbo engine producing around 600bhp, driving through a McLaren seven speed Seamless Shift dual clutch gearbox (SSG). It is targeting not only new standards for power and performance in its sector, but also class-leading fuel economy and CO2 emissions; supported by McLaren’s experience of active aerodynamics to aid cooling, grip, handling and road holding.

The MP4-12C will likely accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 3.8 seconds and have a top speed in excess of 300 km/h (186 mph).

It will be priced between £125,000 ($186,155 / €139,447) and £175,000 ($260,487 / €195,225) and "will feature innovative technical and customer-focused engineering and design that will offer new levels of performance in its price bracket."
