The McLaren MP4-12C, later known simply as the McLaren 12C, is a sports car designed and manufactured by McLaren
Automotive. It is the first production car wholly designed and built by McLaren since the McLaren F1, which ended
production in 1998. The car’s final design was unveiled in September 2009, and was launched in mid-2011.
The MP4-12C features a carbon fiber composite chassis, and is powered by a mid-mounted McLaren M838T 3.8-litre V8,
twin-turbo engine developing approximately 592 bhp (441 kW; 600 PS) and around 443 lb·ft (601 N·m) of torque. The
car makes use of Formula 1-sourced technologies such as “brake steer”, where the inside rear wheel is braked
during fast cornering to reduce understeer. Power is transmitted to the wheels through a seven-speed seamless shift
dual-clutch gearbox.
