2:00 Since this video a lot about the engine has changed McLaren released an update on the newer models increasing power to 618 horsepower, and the throttle application is much quicker and almost non existent turbo lag they explained this at a car show I went too Mclaren really knows what they are doing
@MrLalasd its not only about fast.A GTR can out perform this car on the track.And i don't have it anymore, bur I do have the Aven. and will record some track time as soon as it get warmer here in canada, montreal. I dont want salt grains getting into the car(rust)
No sir, the "MP4-12C" is not a name you would give to a cheap Toshiba lad top, but "MP4-***" are names given for the Million-dollars race cars that Team McLaren had built over decades in Formula 1.
Sorry, the Bugatti veyron SS beat this car on top gears track by a few seconds, which is A LOT!!! This however is an amazing car when driven correctly and it's been proven time and time again. I personally like the Aventator much, much more but the newer 2012 & 2013 model years fixed the early electronic issues that many complained about on the track. Nice video!
strange editing is some of the video play..... like odd placement of previous video of toyota and bmw and then the highway throttling that went into track testing vid..
@MrLalasd me and my friend will make a funny video while cruzing around the city and catching some eyes LOL and one on the track! yeah im on MontrealRacing but haven't been on for a while.
Actually everybody could afford it if people will just stop being lazy, stop making kids and people save money and keep looking forward instead of just being ok with working in a mediocre place.
@MrLalasd I've owned it. taken it to the track, and it does not perform on turns.Its because of the new sway technology which is garbage.this car is only good to show off.dissapointed at McLaren.
Drove these returned as soon as possible. on the track this car is crap pure shit. f1 was good this one just a fail, engine is sweet tho. but the Aventador took my heart :)
Very nice. I had a fun ride :)

Extremely well done interior.
The mclaren p1 will settle this argument once and for all , when it destroys everything ever created except a the speed of light
458 italita ftw!

It raises the rear wing up to a 15° angle.
@ 4:29, I believe that's a good 'ol fashioned tachomoter. =)
Your on the highway but your on the track? crazy
Top gear test track times.
1:16.2 - McLaren MP4-12C
1:16.5 - Lamborghini Aventador
1:16.8 - Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
The rev counter is analog not the speedo.
230 000$ ?!?!?!
Here in Finland it would cost about 350 000 € XD
Wait we're taking a ride ON the McLaren? That doesn't sound so safe!

The best car ever!!!

I'd like to have a cherry red one please . Thank you .
Only $230,000, Let me just put the cheat codes in :p
@WWEBroadcasting it's not, the aventador is .3 of a second slower than the 12c on the top gear track
Why not ?
@MrLalasd me and my friend will make a funny video while cruzing around the city and catching some eyes LOL and one on the track! yeah im on MontrealRacing but haven't been on for a while.
nice name bro
ahah i love it when trolls that don't know what they're talking about get put in their place :) thanks bud.
@TheGarvito feel your pain. Got a house up at lake erie. Looking forward yo your Aventador video. Are you on any car forums?
Funny because most Americans can only afford 20% of what that cars worth
U can get 2012 model for 105,000€
@chicco129 I imagine only about that much of everybody on the planet could afford this car...
Yes, but the Atom is better ;)
@TheGarvito it sounds like you have not driven this car.
@BreadForButter bravo
SSC Ultimate Aero - $285,000 alot faster (including corners) I think VW is stupid for losing all that money
actually this car beat the Bugatti .6 seconds, its the second fastest on the top gear track
Actually everybody could afford it if people will just stop being lazy, stop making kids and people save money and keep looking forward instead of just being ok with working in a mediocre place.
" impress me with this guy" rule number one never call a car a guy they are all females
this car sounds kinda annoying inside at high rpm
Because most people cant drive these days, Im surely you fall under that category.
maybe because the video formst is mkv not mp4 , hahahaha xD
analog speedometer?
analog speedometer!?
it's a fucking tachometer with a digital speedometer display.
Presenter does not know a tach from a speedo at 4:25.
Why even make cars like this that only our snake politicians can afford!
The Bugatti Veyron is not worth its price
@MrLalasd I've owned it. taken it to the track, and it does not perform on turns.Its because of the new sway technology which is garbage.this car is only good to show off.dissapointed at McLaren.
These CNET guys are terrible hacks...
Drove these returned as soon as possible. on the track this car is crap pure shit. f1 was good this one just a fail, engine is sweet tho. but the Aventador took my heart :)
@scadish1234 r8 is garbage super car. its just a high end Audi rs5.Lambos are good Ferrari are meh.
This is so cheap :D
@Thechaparro2 it was in season 17, they compared it to the Ferrari 458 and they liked the Ferrari better, good episode though
@ 4:28 .. Its an analog tachometer not speedometer lol. The Speedometer is digital skippy.
THAT IS A HELL OF A SEXY CAR
'MP4-12C'? That's a name you would give to a cheap Toshiba laptop, not a $230k supercar.
@TheGarvito This thing is faster than an enzo!!! You should post a video of tracking it.
"WE ABOUT TO TAKE THIS BITCH ON THE FREEWAY" (paraphrase)
(cuts to track clip) -_-
The only problem with this car is that it's too correct :| even the price
Hey are you guys gonna do a free Mp4 -12c give away :P
