Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton take the covers off of the McLaren MP4-12C

YouTube - Mclaren MP4-12C official unveiling

Earlier today, McLaren head honcho Ron Dennis stood in front of a podium and talked about how the new MP4-12C will set a new benchmark on the way supercars are viewed by the public. Though we’ve heard that line quite a few times in the past, we’re not discounting Dennis proclamation because, well, it’s a McLaren, and the last time they unveiled a new supercar back in 1993 - the F1 - a lot of us thought that it was the future of supercars, which, in some ways it ended up becoming.

So fast forward to earlier today and Dennis is flanked by his two stud F1 drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button for the official unveiling of the production-ready MP4-12C.

Drumrolls, please...

If it's $200K or less, I'll take a serious look at it.... The tech inside is outstanding and residuals will be strong. It looks like an Evora that's been in the microwave too long, but I can get past that if it's within reach.

It looks like a Lotus in the front and a Gallardo in the rear.

Most likely considering he beat Jenson in the Liana around the top gear track. And Lewis was in the wet.

I think it's the color , they should have introduced it in a more agressive color , I always disliked this color
