Fifth Gear McLaren Mp4-12C review vs Ferrari 458

Jason and Tiff test the long-awaited McLaren MP4-12C and will pit it against the Ferrari 458 Italia. So far the tests against the 458's aren't looking good for the MP4-12C as many reviews are starting to surface!

Ferrari 2
McLaren 0

I expected so much from the Mclaren and it let me down, along with Tiff and Jason.

Oh man, what a surprise. I can understand if it's less fun to drive because of all of the computers but I'm actually shocked that it's slower around the track. Maybe it's just because it's not as confidence-inspiring as the Ferrari due to all of the electronics controlling everything.

What a shame.

I am also very disappointed to hear this. Makes the car irrelevant.

Am I the only one, but after watching this again today ( whitout all the whiskys in the system that I had last night) and no mean to bash the McLaren, but Plato seemed to do some damage control about the time been slower than the 458.

McLaren's strongest point was that it would be faster than the Ferrari, and it's not (it was also slower in the CAR Magazine test).

So now the Ferrari is faster and more fun...
