McLaren Restarts Deliveries of MP4-12C
McLaren Fixes Software Bugs and resumes Deliveries

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.

 

That grey one in the showroom looks amazing, really want to test one out asap.

 

What exactly did this "range of minor glitches" include? More electronics-based or mechanical?

 

I wonder if this car will have software updates like a cell phone

 

From what I regathered, electronics (info-tainment system), supposedly all sorted now.

 

Well it did have a 'firmware' update :P So i'm sure as with any computer there were major upgrades to the electronics before the delivery restart. But info-tainment in my eyes is among the smaller concerns compared to what else this beast has to offer.

I hope mine gets here before the snow arrives.

 

Jesus jpcourt. Did you win the new Jersey state lottery or something this year?

 

Na....just woking my tail off.

 

I know I'm in the vast minority here, but for some reason this car does absolutely nothing for me...
