Mclaren MP4-12C

November 24th, 2009

mcalrenRejoice, for those of us who thought the Mclaren F1 was the best car ever. Next comes the new line up of super cars from the famous Mclaren company.  It features 3.8-liter, 600 HP V8 engine; which at 2000 Rpm is only 80% of the available power to use.

This is a really beautiful car with some nice features.  Luckily the price range is only around $200,000 – $300,000, not 1 million like their previous production car that was the best of its class. We know what your thinking. Why on earth would anyone post a review about a car that is worth more than my cute poodle? We thought you might just like how pretty it is. Check out the Mclaren site for more details on this hot ride.
