2012 McLaren MP4-12C High Sport


 
  Review 
 
   

McLaren showed up to the Pebble beach Concours d’Elégance in July 2011 with the announcement of its McLaren Special Operation Program - a program that would offer their customers the chance to customize their MP4-12C in any way they desire. The first model to receive the special treatment was an MP4-12C in a Volcano Orange exterior finish and now we have the second model to don the changes. The second MP4-12C to receive these modifications is called the High Sport and features exterior and interior updates, as well as an extra 75 HP.

Clearly, the exterior benefited from the exquisite orange paint finish, but it also received a new rear bumper with rear vents inspired from the MP4-12C GT3 race car, an extended diffuser, and a modified active rear wing. The MP4-12C also received a redesigned front nose in order to maximize downforce. The extra 75 HP was achieved by increasing the airflow to the turbo intercoolers.

The McLaren MP4-12C High Sport is limited to only 5 units and is now available in Miami dealerships. McLaren hasn’t announced pricing for these special edition units, but expect to pay an extra 50%, at least, over the car’s standard price of about $230,000.

UPDATE 08/30/12: Another YouTube video of the McLaren MP4-12C has surfaced, only this time, the recorder - YouTube user DTRockstar1 - managed to give us a comprehensive walk-around of the ultra-limited British supercar. Check it out after the jump!

UPDATE 03/05/2012: McLaren has released the official photos of the uber limited MP4-12C. Only five models of this special edition McLaren supercar have been made so if you had any dreams of owning one, you’re going to be left out because all five have already been spoken for. Photos come courtesy of McLaren Special Operations’ official photographer, Tomirri Photography.

Hit the jump to watch a video of the McLaren MP4-12C High Sport.

It seems like the concept of Lamborghini. This has a standard concept. The body paint looks so aggressive for me.

This model is really an attention seeker for me. It makes the concept more aggressive on style as well as the body paint on it.

the colors are cool in volcanic orange and black. The exterior details were minimal. 592 horsepower McLaren already powerful. The airflow through the car is critically engineered to build this much awaited car.

Very stunning vehicle! smiley I would say that they pick the right color for this one. The orange paint adds more appeal to the car and the v8 engine will surely suit this baby.

This car it is really one of their great inventions. And I am amazed or maybe impressed on the engine specs that they have installed on it. It looks very elegant on design and its price.

This 2012 McLaren MP4-12C High Sport looks good on its orange body paint, and it doesn’t look corny on that. Its twin-turbo V8 is truly amazing with an output of 592hp.

It maybe looks cool on it’s abstract design and I must say that they are improving with their concept,But I would admit that McLaren MP4-12C High Sport really improves a lot on the design and platform of their vehicles. Anyway, as for my opinion, i would gladly say that I love the exterior design of this car.

Wow! Looks very elegant on design and its price. But its true its an expensive one. I think anybody would love to have this one. This model is really a capture hatcher for me. It shows the good concept like the exterior detailing. What a great invention.
