McLaren MP4-12C unveiled

Formula One team McLaren has unveiled a road car – the McLaren MP4-12C. This car will be built near their group’s headquarters in Woking in Surrey. According to McLaren, the factories should employ some 800 people and produce 4,000 cars per year.

The cars will cost approximately £125,000 and £175,000. I don’t really agree with McLaren chairman Ron Dennis, when he says that it is an “affordable sports car”. I guess it is cheaper than the Ferrari and Porsches. According to news reports, the MP4-12C powered by a 3.8 litre V8 twin turbo engine can accelerate to 60mph from rest in just 3.4 seconds.

The sexy looking car features gull-wing doors.

Their McLaren Automative website is still under construction.
