McLaren MP4-12C launch video

The McLaren MP4-12C had its official press kit launch today, with all the technical specifications, PR spin, hype and understandable excitement contained within a very extensive document. And very impressive it is too... carbon monocell chassis, 592bhp/443lbft torque V8 twin turbo, 32V DOHC lightweight McLaren engine, 7-speed SSG gearbox, active McLaren airbrake, ProActive Chassis Control systems (Winter, Normal, Sport & Track), 0-124mph in 9.1s (8.9s on Corsa optional rubber), 0-62mph in 3.3s, 10.9s 1/4 mile @135mph and a 455bhp per ton power to weight ratio. Jees! A run of up to 1,000 cars will produced this year, with plans to make up to 4,000 by the middle of this decade, subject to demand, which we are sure will be massive. Enjoy this video of the car on its international media launch at Autodromo Internacional Do Algarve, Portugal in January, with Chris Goodwin, chief tester (lucky man!). And see Jenson Button's involvement in this short, sharp video: www.youtube.com/mclarenautomotivetv
