Yes, but can it beat the 458 Spider?

Considering the 12C already firmly trounces the 458 Italia before it even received the recent power increase, I'd suggest so.

Numbers are just one factor though and often largely irrelevant when it comes to an emotional purchase like a supercar.

A real convertible. The Fugly 458 Targa will take a back seat to this.

Wait for the full body shots before you say that - I think we will find the 12C Spider has similar buttresses behind the seats. The roof mechanisms on both cars were designed and built by the same company - Webasto.

Agreed, and McLaren have found a way to display the engine unlike Ferrari

Awesome - I have just one single picture of that car and none I can share publicly so if you do have the opportunity.

i would love to see what they are able to do with the engine bonnet.

458 spyder was a major disappointment with the small louvers. they should at least use larger vents a la diablo vt.
