Description: Built around a carbon-fiber tub with aluminum superstructures at both ends, the MP4-12C isn't unlike other supercars in its construction. Rather, it's the finish quality, details and purposefulness of the design that make it stand out. With materials quality and construction at the very top of the game, McLaren will be setting new standards for supercar quality. Available as both a coupe and convertible, the MP4-12C will easily rival the best from Germany and Italy.
IL says: We spent a few hours poking around the MP4-12C at its North American introduction and came away genuinely impressed. It's the kind of car that tells you how it will drive before you actually drive it. And we've got confidence it will be stunning.

@one4massa:
Agreed. I'd take it over the 458 to be honest.

There are plenty of hideous looking cars in this "exotic special" - the McLaren however is quite stunning.
