MP4-12C under the vehicle

Myself and Matt Gramling at McLaren Philadelphia were trying to think of something unusual to post in the McLaren Forum. So far we've come up with some underbody photo's. You really can't appreciate this vehicle until you see how well crafted this machine is, even down to the cf duct work of the optional Ceramic Carbon Brakes. Enjoy!

Nice, and Thank you!

Hopefully that brake "air channel/deflector" is more robust than Porsche used on the GT3's! I went through a few of those! LOL!

Thanks for showing those. Very interesting features. I love how flat and smooth the underside is. Do the iron brakes have those vents?

Just nearly broke my back looking falb!!! I was sure that one of the reasons that the unsprung weight of the iron brakes was that they dont require the additional cooling of the ceramics,looks to me like there are no significant cooling vents for them,but really need to get it on a ramp to be sure.Or i could just feel,but they are a bit hot at the moment
