Vehicle Description
A special limited edition of the car in the spirit of the McLaren
12C GT3 racer. This unique version was known as the High Sport,
which included improved redesigned front and rear bumpers with side
air extractors and louvers on top of the front fenders to increase
downforce and reduce drag, while significantly improving braking
and tire cooling. The High Sport engine modification to 675hp could
now achieve 0-60 mph in under three seconds flat in launch mode
with a top speed north of 200 mph. McLaren CEO Ron Dennis
commissioned this particular MP4-12C High Sport, which is
documented in a letter as the only one of the 10 produced in
McLaren racing colors. This High Sport chassis, #9 of the 10
manufactured, is the only one painted in the FI Vodafone Racing
Team livery colors and is further augmented by signatures under the
hood from the winningest time set by the McLaren team drivers and
pit crew. The signatures represent the victory and celebration that
occurred at Nuremberg, Germany. The options include the Stealth
Package, sport exhaust, carbon-ceramic brakes and a carbon-fiber
engine package. The one-piece carbon-fiber MonoCell chassis has a
mid-mounted 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with just under
500 ft/lbs of rear-end torque linked to a 7-speed dual clutch
gearbox with three driving modes, normal, sport or track and a
launch mode button. Inside, the car features a Meridian sound
system with navigation, Bluetooth and WiFi, carbon fiber, Alcantara
and leather in the designated F1 team colors. To enhance the car's
functionality, special tagged designer travel luggage has been
included, along with diamond-cut racing wheels. This unique McLaren
has won several awards that are included in the sale, such as the
Best British Import at the 2014 Festivals of Speed at Amelia
Island, FL, the 2016 Best in Show at Cars on Fifth in Naples, FL,
and the People's Choice Award at the 2015 Festivals of Speed in St.
Petersburg, FL. This special McLaren has 364 actual miles.
