Lets all call upon in spotlights, Frank Stephensen.

Lets take a look at the dashboard and specification of McLaren MP4-12C.

 

The dashboard is a gorgeous looking place providing a perfect cockpit for drivers to enjoy a relaxed place. Different from McLaren F1 is side by side seating arrangement for its drivers But the drivers seat has been placed a little to the center to keep the driver closer to the central console.

McLaren MP4-12C is powered by a 3.8 litre twin-turbo V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft dubbed the M838T. The engine produces 592 bhp and 443 lb·ft (601 N·m) of torque. It has a redline of 8,500 rpm, with 80% of torque available at just 2,000 rpm. The V8 has a dry sump and a flat-plane crank like a race engine, to lower the centre of gravity and allow a higher rev limit.

MP4-12C can goes up to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 8.9 seconds, reaches the top speed 322 km/h (200 mph) and is able to brake from 200 km/h (124 mph) to a complete stop in under five seconds. Braking from 100 km/h (62 mph) to zero can be done in under 30 metres (98 ft).

The team also expects that McLaren MP4-12C will be able to complete the standing quarter mile in slightly less than 11 seconds.

Driven by the rear-wheel drive, McLaren MP4-12C uses a seven-speed with dual-clutch gearbox thats comes direct from Italy.

McLaren MP4-12C weighs 1,300 kg (2,866 lb) dry because of the extensive use of Carbon fibre (Carbon MonoCell) to minimize weight.
