There are two whites on the color chart. There's a Standard White, and then on the Elite section of the color wheel is a Pearl White.

Here's a couple of addtional photos that were released with this announcement. Click to enlarge:

Nice, there have been a few test cars driving around the UK for a while. I was lucky enough to see a matt black one before Christmas and it has great road presence, but maybe not as impressive as a 458.

EVO magazine have the first test in next months magazine, so looking forward to that.

Here is another very interesting fact for you and this is coming from Autocar magazines website in the UK.

Steve Sutcliffe is indicating that the MP4-12C will hit 100mph in 6.1 seconds Thats faster than the McLaren F1

This will blow your mind - Tester

If it is true the 458 is going to be blown into the weeds in a drag race

MP4-12C will be amazing performer, just wait for 14th of February, I have heard really mindblowing things about this car today. It will be amazing value for its price.

A bit disappointed that it will not make its way to Geneva auto show, would be great to see it there.

I am still not liking it as much as a 458 ,the only thing I like about it is the doors and thats probably it.

I see McLaren are letting owners watch their cars get built, just like the SLR
