    • McLaren Special Operations celebrated its launch at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance this year by presenting an example of the groundbreaking new MP4-12C, finished in a unique version of Volcano Orange, and featuring a range of bespoke carbon upgrades.   
    • The exclusive 12C unveiled at Pebble Beach has been specified with the aim of inspiring existing and future owners of the first ever pure McLaren sports car.  Bespoke treatment applied to this car includes stunning satin matte Volcano Orange paintwork, a gloss black roof, diamond cut finish wheels with gloss black inners, MP4-12C branded carbon sill panels, carbon steering wheel, front wheel arch louvres and carbon fibre engine cover vents, rear deck vent and wiper system cover.
    • The new MP4-12C made its North American debut at Pebble Beach in 2010, so it was a natural choice to return to the event in 2011 for the launch of McLaren Special Operations.
  • The innovative 12C is unique in the core segment of the sports car market. This two-seat, mid-engine model features a revolutionary one-piece, carbon-fibre chassis structure, the carbon MonoCell. It is the first time a car has featured a one-piece, carbon fibre structure; a strong and lightweight engineering solution that comes straight from the world of motor sports where McLaren introduced this technology to Formula 1 in 1981.

It is the first time a car has featured a one-piece, carbon fibre structure; a strong and lightweight engineering solution that comes straight from the world of motor sports where McLaren introduced this technology to Formula 1 in 1981.
    • The 12C has been developed to set new standards not just in handling, ride and performance, but also safety, economy and practicality in an already competitive sector. The 12C is equipped with a bespoke McLaren 3.8-litre, V8 twin-turbo engine producing 592 bhp, and driven through a unique McLaren seven-speed, Seamless Shift, dual-clutch gearbox (SSG). Yet when it comes to CO2 emissions per horsepower, the MP4-12C is even more efficient than a hybrid car.
    • Ian Gorsuch, McLaren Automotive’s Regional Director for the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific, said: “We are thrilled to present the MP4-12C to the Singapore market. There has already been great interest in the 12C across the region, and Singapore is no exception. We are all looking forward to the first cars being delivered here from as early as the end of this year.
  • A new aerodynamics package produced entirely from carbon fibre has been developed by McLaren Racing in compliance with GT3 regulations, incorporating a new front splitter, door blade, rear wing, diffuser and louvres in the front fenders.

    • A new aerodynamics package produced entirely from carbon fibre has been developed by McLaren Racing in compliance with GT3 regulations, incorporating a new front splitter, door blade, rear wing, diffuser and louvres in the front fenders.
    • Under the skin, the 12C GT3 shares the same 75 kg MonoCell chassis as the 12C road car. With lightness as a priority, only carbon fibre is used in the chassis. The result is a dry weight of just 1,301 kg. The Formula One derived steering wheel features an integrated driver display, paddle shift and switches.
    • The 3.8 litre McLaren V8 twin turbo M838T engine makes its appearance again in the 12C GT3, albeit being de-tuned from 591 hp to 493 hp in order to provide optimum power. Power is shifted through a Ricado-developed six-speed sequential shift gearbox, which is 80 kg lighter than the Seamless Shift seven-speed gearbox used in the road car.
  • The first MP4-12C is expected to be delivered before the end of this year. Orders are not accepted at this time, but interested buyers can contact Wearnes Automotive.

    • The first MP4-12C is expected to be delivered before the end of this year. Orders are not accepted at this time, but interested buyers can contact Wearnes Automotive.
    • Ian Gorsuch, McLaren Automotive Regional Director for Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific said: “By joining forces with Wearnes Automotive, whose sound experience and reputation in the Singapore car market has proved highly attractive to us, we will ensure our customers receive the very best on both fronts.”
    • Wearnes Automotive Group Managing Director, Andre Roy shares: “This appointment marks the start of a great partnership of two motoring companies aligned in passion-driven ethos and sharing a common commitment to high quality and cutting-edge innovation.”
  • The new chassis only weighs just 75kg, yet, McLaren claims that it provides the perfect combination of occupant space, structural integrity, light weight, and relatively low construction costs. In retrospect, the manually-produced McLaren F1 took up to 3,000 hours to complete, the SLR reduced that manufacturing time to about 300 hours, while the MP4-12C's chassis can be produced in four hours. McLaren says that the new process is part of making carbon a reality to car enthusiasts, at a price point more affordable to a wider market.

    • The new chassis only weighs just 75kg, yet, McLaren claims that it provides the perfect combination of occupant space, structural integrity, light weight, and relatively low construction costs. In retrospect, the manually-produced McLaren F1 took up to 3,000 hours to complete, the SLR reduced that manufacturing time to about 300 hours, while the MP4-12C's chassis can be produced in four hours. McLaren says that the new process is part of making carbon a reality to car enthusiasts, at a price point more affordable to a wider market.
    • The heart of this new English super car is the new bespoke 592Hp, 600Nm M838T engine, a 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 engine. Weighing only 199kg, it features a dry sump lubrication system and a flat plane crankshaft for low centre of gravity. At the rear, high level exhaust pipes exit the car from a mixing box rather than a conventional silencer unit, saving weight. An optional Sport Exhaust system made from Inconel, an extremely heat-resistant nickel-chromium-based alloy, further reduces weight as well as enhancing the exhaust note.
    • Mated to the M838T is a dual clutch, seven-speed ‘SSG’ transmission. Using the Active Dynamics Panel situated in the centre console of the 12C’s cockpit, the transmission will have three settings: Normal, Sport and Track. Operated through finger-tip controls mounted on a rocker behind the steering wheel: upshift by either pulling with the right hand or pushing with the left, and vice versa to downshift. It also features “Pre-Cog”, applying moderate pressure to the shift control will pre-load the clutch, for virtually instantaneous shifts. If the left-shift control is depressed and held, instead of ‘clicked’, while under braking, the transmission will blip the engine and downshift to the correct lowest gear. The result: 0-100km/h in 3.3s (3.1s with optional Corsa tyres) and a top speed of 330km/h.
