Hard-core McLaren 12C On The Way

The British publication Autocar has just posted an article that could potentially make Tifosi think twice about placing that 458 Speciale order. They note that McLaren will launch a hardcore 12C variant later this year, and their McLaren source says the car will outperform the 597 hp 458 Speciale.

The new car will share the current 12C’s basic structure, but will receive a healthy dose of upgrades including a massaged version of the twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-8 that will churn out roughly 650 horsepower.

“The 12C is already incredible, but the P1 was designed as the ultimate car aerodynamically, and those lessons can help every car in the range,” the source is claimed to have said.
