2013 McLaren MP4-12C Spider – A Review

2013 McLaren MP4-12C Spider is the new sports car that  will give you an open drive experience along with the racing car technology. The exterior is spectacular and the interior is made stylish to give you a pleasant touring  experience. The safety features are at its best. The robust engine is capable of giving you a powerful performance.

Antony Sheriff, McLaren Automotive Managing Director said: “I am really excited to announce that the new 12C Spider is now available to order at new McLaren retailers worldwide. The launch of our second model is an exciting milestone in the growth of our company.

 

While the 12C is the technological essence of a race car, the 12C Spider incorporates an additional dimension. 12C Spider owners will love the opportunity to lower the roof and hear the unhindered howl of a V8 twin turbo engine at full throttle. It undoubtedly enhances an already euphoric 12C driving experience.

The 12C Spider delivers all the thrills characteristic of a high performance roadster, and yet transforms into a raucous track beast at the flick of a switch. I can’t wait to see it on the road and track with customers later this year.”
