Utilizing a carbon fiber composite chassis, the McLaren Carbon MonoCell tub incorporated multiple fiber weaving layered at precisely the right geometry and thicknesses to maximize strength and reduce weight. The carbon tub was fused to an extruded alloy subframe forming the rear of the car. The lightweight platform positioned the longitudinally mounted twin-turbocharged 3.8 L V8 engine midship. This all-alloy engine utilized a dry sump lubrication system to aid in weight reduction and keep the engine at a low profile. The engine. based on a Tom Walkinshaw developed race unit, delivered nearly 600 hp.
Mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, the MP4-12C performance was jaw-dropping, arriving at 60mph just 3 seconds after launch. Even experienced performance car drivers immediately recognized that this exceptional car was a game changer for leaders like Ferrari and Lamborghini.
The unique and refined body design was penned by Frank Stephenson who designed the car to reflect the heritage of the F1 but also capture a fresh look for this groundbreaking McLaren. Utilizing carbon fiber for the body, massive twin side air intakes draw the eye into the wide rear fenders, concealing the twin-turbo engine. Dihedral opening doors added another touch to the visually stunning exterior design. A series of options were offered for each of these unique cars when production began officially in 2011. Though sales were strong both in Europe and the US, MP4-12C production ceased in 2014, replaced by the McLaren 650C.
Though official company numbers have never been released, it is estimated that approximately 3,500 units were produced worldwide with fewer than 1,500 cars delivered to the US.
