McLaren Automotive brought out their new MP4-12C to Cars&Coffee in Irvine this morning. They also brought along a 12C bare chassis and so it was great to be able to pour over all the details.
It was wonderful to finally see the car in person. I was a little iffy on it from the initial studio shots released back in September 2009, but 'in the metal' it is a sharp looking car with a lot of presence. It's not wild like some prefer their supercars to be but I think that suits McLaren's style, that the design will age well and it is a good building block for future products while still carrying over a few elements from McLaren's past. The people who are lucky enough to put their names on the list for this car should have no regrets.
Here are some of my pics:



The other 140 or so I took can be found in my Flickr gallery.
