A new McLaren hypercar that has the weirdest name ever. Coming out in 2011, the car has a carbon-fiber chasis and has an engine made by McLaren themselves unlike the last 2 cars they had (SLR and F1).
It will have a twin turbo 3.8litre V8 managing to get out 592 BHP from it and it will have some Formula 1 tech in it.
Dual clutch and obviously a flappy paddle gearbox.
The MP4 stands for McLaren Project 4, the chassis designation for all McLaren Formula 1 cars since 1981
The '12' refers to McLaren's internal Vehicle Performance Index through which it rates key performance criteria both for competitors and for its own cars.
And C is for Carbon since the car is mostly build out of, carbon fiber.
A car that is so extremely fast that it causes a rip in the space time continuum which in turn causes a resonate cascade scenario and all relative time stops in the car because of time dilation. Being able to afford one would require a wallet so large that the gravitation force from the wallet would cause the wallet to implode on itself and collapse into a black hole.
A super car that was the fastest in the world for a period of 12 years. Now has the title of fastest naturally aspirated car (no turbos or supers).
Still considered the ultimate road car by many people, and the best looking. There may be other cars faster (SSC Aero, Veyron) but somehow just aren't better.
If you have 1 million dollars the best thing you could possible do with it is buy a McLaren F1.
A perfectcar and mans all-time greatest achievement in the history of the universe. Driving one while drinking orange juice and listening to rock makes you the coolest human at that point in time in all of the world.
The McLaren F1 can rocket to one hundred miles per hour in 6.7 seconds.
