Spent some time in a dream car today... McLaren MP4 12C - Photos Inside

[Silver14FusionTi]

A good friend of mine picked up a highly optioned McLaren MP4 12C a few days ago and as always when he gets a new car asks if I want to come drive it and get some photos and videos. Of course, I never say no. I don't have time to create a video right now, but here are some photos.

 

The entire chassis is carbon fiber and aluminum. The car has a ton of other carbon fiber as well.. It weighs just over 2,800 lbs. and makes around 600 HP, so needless to say, it's quick! They are said to go low-mid 10's at mid-high 130's in the 1/4 mile in stock form. It stops on a dime as well with the huge carbon ceramic brakes and the wing assisted air brake which feels like a parachute coming out at speed.. It handles better than anything I've ever driven (including Ferrari's, GTR, Corvettes, etc.)

 

0-60 is about 3 seconds and the top speed is 207 mph.

EDIT - VIDEO - Unfortunately, my current laptop doesn't have any good editing software so the video isn't the greatest...
