McLaren 12C

This is McLarens first road car since the iconic F1. Its innovative design make it one of the most versatile and exciting supercars on the road. Every detail of the 12C's design enhances the car's performance and makes it a thrill to drive.

The genesis of the modern road car range, the MP4-12C established the McLaren brand as a genuine and viable player in the supercar market. Now revered as a modern day classic, good examples are highly sought after and perform very favourably even when compared to the latest models.  A top speed of 207 mph and 0-60 mph of 3.1 seconds was more or less at the top of what you could get from a roadcar in 2011, but the real advantages came from the hydraulic suspension, active aero and stability control, which err on the right side of intrusion without diluting the sensory thrills of the driving experience overall. The ride quality was a gamechanger and today we think really good examples of this model will become collectible classics.

Thoughts from McLaren

We pioneered the use of carbon fibre in Formula 1™ and in production road cars. Our knowledge and experience of carbon fibre is unrivalled and our success with it is unmatched. For over 30 years, every car we have made has had carbon fibre at its core. It took 4,000 hours to make each carbon fibre chassis on the McLaren F1. Twenty years of innovation later, it took just 4 hours to produce the MonoCell at the heart of the 12C.
