Ok, so details have been coming out about this beauty for a while now, well over a year to be precise. But we figured we’d bring you a bit about it anyway considering that it’ll only be going on sale in summer of next year. Prices are expected to start at around €200,000. And that’s only if you can get yourself on the waiting list.
With the new MP4-12C, McLaren’s betting the economy will bounce back soon. It’s planning on building 1000 units in 2011, a quarter of which will go each to the domestic UK market and over here to the United States.
The McLaren MP4-12C is powered by a twin-turbo 3.8-litre V8 engine producing around 600 horsepower and 433 lb-ft of torque. The engine is coupled to a McLaren seven speed Seamless Shift dual clutch gearbox (SSG). It sprints from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds and can hit a top speed of more than 200mph.
Blah blah blah.
I was on the M50 for the first time in I don’t know how long the other day and the speed limit has been reduced from what it was when it was a dual carriage way. Now it’s a dual carriage speed limit on a three or four lane motorway.
Another win for Irish logic.
In other words, if you win the Lotto later on tonight and drop McLaren an email to get one of these bad boys, you’ll be doing fuck all with it apart from spending the rest of your win on petrol for this thirsty beast.
It’s all very well dreaming about these cars, but in reality you wouldn’t be taking it out anywhere because you’ll just look like a cunt trying to line it up the pump at Topaz.
Having a car like this in Ireland is like having a woman like Scarlett Johansson who doesn’t like sex, giving head, or hand jobs, or even letting you have a cheeky suck on her toes, then it turns out that she likes girls and won’t let you watch but you wouldn’t want to anyway, because she likes girls who look like Kelly Osbourne.
What I mean is, your friends will be jealous, but you’ll be dying inside.
