McLaren Automotive MP4-12C: Performance Stats and Mega Gallery with 100 High-Res Photos
Set to be let loose upon the public come Spring 2011, McLaren Automotive's MP4-12C has a lot to live up to. In order to make sure attention hasn't been waning, McLaren recently had the car's public unveiling at its HQ in Woking, England, where the maker released more details on the MP4-12C including the supercar's performance stats.
The 12C (as they refer to it) packs a mid-mounted 3.8 liter V8, developed in-house by McLaren. Thanks to the twin turbos, it develops 600-horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque.
According to the McLaren, the supercar is capable of reaching 100km/h (62mph) in less than 3,0 seconds and 200 km/h (124mph) in under 10 seconds while completing the quarter mile in around 11 seconds and reaching a top speed in excess of 200mph or 322km/h.
The SLK got even better with thanks to new styling which takes cues from the bigger SL and the McLaren SLR. Stunning looks, Mercedes build quality and that metal folding hard top guarantee success for the little Merc, despite growing competition from cheaper convertible coupes, and the increasing performance of cars like the Porsche Boxster.
