Spec a McLaren MP4-12C

Although for many ownership of an MP4-12C will remain only a fantasy, McLaren has launched a configuration tool to help the dream come true… virtually, at least.





As expected, various paintwork and interior trim finishes can be specified. There’s also a choice of wheels and brakes, and optional carbon fibre can be selected for several panels around the car.





On the inside the standard in-car media, which features Bluetooth and a 40GB hard drive, can be upgraded to McLaren’s ‘Iris’ system. This includes a voice-activated navigation system, a larger capacity 80GB hard drive, and wireless connectivity to allow transfer of music tracks and other files directly from a laptop.





The one thing the configurator doesn’t do is tell you how much your finished creation would cost. However, it’s thought the MP4-12C will be priced below £175,000 when sales commence at the end of this year.
