2012 McLaren MP4-12
 

Caught sight of this little 2012 McLaren MP4-12 parked at the curb in downtown Port Dalhousie, Ontario the other day, and just had to grab a few quickie pics.

This is the first (and only) McLaren I've had the opportunity to see on the street.

For the technically curious - it has a 3.8L, twin-turbo charged mid-mounted V8 that cranks out nearly 600hp. It'll do 0-60mph in a blistering 3.3 secs. The 1/4 mile flashes by in 10.9 seconds at 134mph.

The MP4-12C competes against prestigious and exotic - not to mention seriously fast - rivals including the Ferrari 458 Italia, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP540-4 and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage.

Saw one at Lowes the other day. For some reason a new lambo and this car were parked there - out in the middle of the parking lot. Pretty cool car.

Those are definitely sweet but would just be nice garage art for me :(

That's a bit of an understatement, don't you think?

Perhaps. I was merely quoting it from an car review webpage somewhere. :winkwink:

Looks like a Supercar you can actually drive.

Even see out the rear window?

D-Wade got one of those for FREE earlier this year.

:pimp

I once drove a Lambo Countach (my boss owned it)...and it was a bitch to see out the rear window, too.

Granted, I only drove it around the block - but I had to back it out of where he'd parked it, lol.

it does look like a sweet car

I like my 458 better
The McLaren looks ugly to me

To each his own but the McLaren is more powerful than the 458 for about the same money. I'd rather have the Mclaren design and Mercedes engine and remember, Mclaren is new to the roadcar game in comparison to Ferrari.

Eh, this is still the baddest car on the planet...

Now that's innovation :1orglaugh

Ohh yeah baby!

Theres a showroom in newport beach, ca Was cool window shopping

hot ride....

Beautiful. Would love to come across one of them on the street. Last year when I was in LA we came across a Veyron parked outside a store on Rodeo Drive, it was amazing. Had maybe 100 people standing taking pics.

McLaren has been making road cars since 1989...23 years to get it right. I like both the Ferrari and Mclaren but the 458 takes the win for me.

but the real question is: did you give him a ticket??? ;)

Ferrari has been making cars since 1929 and making road cars since 1947, that`s a 42 year headstart on McLaren so I`d have to say that`s not too shabby considering McLaren`s are sold out for the next 3 years. They`re expanding their factories in England to increase capacity to 4000 supercars a year due to all the demand.

I'd take the Shelby Mustang over a McLaren anyday, too.

Hell, for the money...buy a small fleet of Shelbys.

doesnt it look like a cayman?
