Laptimes:

1336 kg without Pirelli Corsa tires 1min 14.118 seconds

1301 kg "Light weight package" With Corsa tires 1min 12.915

The Spider that comes next year is less than 0.5 seconds of pace of the coupe's.

MP4-12C GT : 1min 11.409 seconds


MP4-12C GTR (calculated predictions for the GTR) <1min 09 min seconds.

Where does this information comes from? From a McLaren dealer in London who got the info from Paragon (McLaren)

Happy days are here again!

Ps!

The GTR could cost 250000 sterling pounds - That's a bargain!

True or false?

100% true laptimes. just wait and see that it is realistic laptimes from Chris Goodwin that he could do 1.14 laptimes any given day

Dear sir!

looks like TAG called it..........light option with corsa @ 1:12.9 IS [email protected]#KIN BONKERS!!!!!!

To say it's "bonkers" it's a bit premature! The Aventador is almost said to be Bugatti performance around Dunsfold ie 1min 16.8 seconds! The Ferrari 458 Scuderia is surely 2 seconds at least faster than the standard car! This years Super Sports tires from Michelen is 1.5 seconds faster than 2010 years tires according to the company! So that would mean that a Ferrari 458 Italia would lap the Dunsfold track in 1min 17.5 seconds instead of 1min 19.1 seconds! And remember the McLaren Mp4-12C has a genius suspension technology combined with the stiff carbon mono cell chassi! Personally i don't doubt the person at McLaren London who said that a showroom MP4-12C would be 2 seconds faster than the Veyron Supersport! The "MAC" is 80 kg lighter than the "Fezza" and it seems to have the latest tire technology aswell so don't be suprised if the "MAC" is that fast! And by the way when Ferrari shows there Scuderia then McLaren shows there GT and GTR versions! Then probably the name 12C could mean 1min 12 seconds;-) Let's hope so

Cheers!

150 kg lighter.. well according to mclaren it's 80 kg. 150 well thats even better then. the topgear ferrari 458 was shoded with michelin 2009-10 tires. 2011 supersport tires according to michelin is 1.5 seconds a lapfaster and 10% better durability. 2011 ferrari 458:s are on the standard list since it's simply is a better tire than the model before.

agree with that,you have to have a good memory to remember all that information,in what seems a one off conversation.
TAG,i can see you are very enthusiastic with this car,but i did ask about your spec and date,is the dealer using this info to get you to finalize your order?
Because you would think it would have been given to someone who has already paid up,
I will also eat my own words happily,but it would be nice to get to the bottom of it

sms with the laptimes from normally a very reliable source! let's hope it's true and yes i have ordered a car from mclaren. there is really not more to it than that. now we just have to wait and see how fast the mclaren 12C is? someone on this forum said that mclaren have confirmed it's faster than a veyron ss that's not to shabby for 231000U$ i don't mind if the car actually would do in 1min 14 brackets or so but it's really not the end of the world for mclaren if it didn't there is definitely a Spider and GT and a GTR on waiting to be realesed and that's where my cash goes. i wish i could afford the "P799" project or aka P12 but it's simply out of my reach it's almost going to be around 918 prices in reality and not prices Autocar mentioned. and they are going to be sold out pretty fast.. . answer enough? boooed enough?;-) ha ha ha this was not a practical joke or so, but we just have to wait and see.. .
