Vehicle Description
When racecar engineers decide to re-enter the passenger car world,
you want to document their return. That's what this 2012 McLaren
MP4-12C is all about. With ultra-low mileage and exceptionally
well-preserved condition, this is your chance at a 200+ MPH time
capsule supercar.
Those who have a passion for racing have known about McLaren for a
long time. They are at the forefront of engineering and innovation
to put cars in the winner's circle. So when they returned to road
car production over a decade since the record-setting F1, the
enthusiasts world took immediate notice. These initial MP4-12Cs
were snapped up early, and were often put through their paces...
but this example is well-preserved - averaging barely over 1,000
miles annually. More than just ultra-low mileage, the way the
sunlight dances across the factory Volcano Orange Metallic paint
instantly showcase how the panels retain their precision fit.
There's also science behind this art. The design is the result of
wind tunnel testing so that even the side mirror arm was
scrutinized for efficiency. In fact, you'll love the innovative
details, including how the deploying rear spoiler also
automatically becomes an air brake during performance driving. It's
this race-bred technology that made the 12C an instant classic.
The doors are another part of the beauty in engineering. They are
not only lightweight, but also have the unique wing design shared
with the F1. Also, unlike any other supercar, they open a path in
the rocker panel to make it easier to get inside (while also
showcasing the race-inspired carbon fiber monocell cabin.) As a
true racecar for the streets, the interior is built with the driver
in mind. Well-bolstered bucket seats, a leather-wrapped flat-bottom
steering wheel, paddle shifters, plenty of carbon fiber trim, and a
big tach directly in front of you are the kind of things that make
this feel like a competition machine. But this also doesn't miss
out on all the best luxury features. Satellite navigation, power
seats, heated seats, power windows, power locks, cruise control,
climate control, and an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth and upgraded
Meridian Surround Sound system are all part of this premium
package. Plus, a modern classic has all the best modern safety,
including dual front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes.
And because this is such a low mileage machine, everything is so
fresh that even the air bag warning sticker is still on the
glovebox.
Behind the cockpit is a lot of venting and slick carbon fiber
covers. Beneath that is the true technological marvel of the 12C.
The 3.8-liter twin turbo V8 is original to the car, and it's why
this one will always be in demand. The engineers at McLaren gave
this the same consideration as the racecars, and so there's an
instant rush from the turbochargers to make 0 to 60 mph disappear
in 3 seconds. But more than just an amazing motor, they focused on
the full performance experience. Even the undercarriage has been
engineered for maximum wind efficiency. But the true party piece is
this car's flexibility. The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission
has Formula One-style paddle shifter for a true racecar control,
but it can also shift itself when you just need to get though urban
traffic. The same goes for the suspension. It's forged aluminum
setup is a strong and lightweight to give you knife-edge accuracy,
but it's also adjustable to be more everyday enjoyable.
The sale comes with the owner's manual as well as maintenance
records that show solid investments in keeping this supercar at its
best. You're looking at the return of a legend, preserved just how
you want it. Call today!!!
