McLaren Restarts Deliveries of MP4-12C

Our friends at GtSpirit tell us that deliveries of McLaren Automotive’s MP4-12C have restarted. As previously reported, deliveries of the McLaren were halted back in October after owners of the initial production models reported a wide range of minor glitches. Ron Dennis, McLaren Automotive Executive Chairman, addressed these issues in a letter and promised that they would be fixed as soon as possible.

According to various sources the necessary firmware and hardware fixes have been made available and deliveries will now restart. Cars are now being delivered to dealerships. The Paris dealership for example received two new cars yesterday destined for French customers. The latest firmware update, apparently known as 8.2 fixes known problems relating to the battery drainage issue and over sensitive fault sensors.
