McLaren 12C Spider Makes Debut in Pebble Beach


Gooding & Company, in association with the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, hosted the global unveiling last night of the new McLaren 12C Spider, at an exclusive VIP preview reception. Shown in a magnificent yellow paint scheme, this new drop-top 12C wowed VIP's, press, and invited guests.

Antony Sheriff, McLaren Automotive's managing director, had the privilege of taking the "official" wraps off the company’s roadster supercar at the private reception. The three-piece retractable hard top roadster will price out at $268,250 before additional options, and feature 616 hp at 7,500 rpm.

Want one? You won't be alone...better call your dealers now.

Extremely beautiful, one of the most beautiful cars out there (the 12C, coupe and spider). My respects to McLaren

Hi,

Doesn't translate to a vert for me. Looks like an afterthought.

Cheers,

McLaren believe that this will outsell the hardtop and was certainly engineered from the outset. The new yellow is great.

And you can clearly see the new doorswitch button, not a fan. The 2012 model will go down as the most valuable!!

Hi,

I would never question McLaren's engineering process. Just doesn't do it for me visually.

Cheers,
Nik

I think this is the rare time when the vert looks better than the coupe
