About this car

The 2012 McLaren MP4-12C appears in Volcano Red with a Carbon Black interior. Its 3.8L twin-turbo V8 drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission, and the car shows 13,594 miles.

Carbon ceramic brakes sit behind lightweight forged wheels finished in stealth specification. Adaptive suspension with auto-leveling, four-wheel independent setup, and speed-sensing steering complete the chassis. A sport exhaust exits through the rear, while rain-sensing wipers and bi-xenon headlights with headlight cleaning handle visibility.

Inside, the full leather interior includes electric heated memory seats, contrast stitching on the dashboard, and carbon fiber seat backs, sill panels, and wheel arches. Meridian audio with navigation and a 40GB hard drive supplies entertainment, and front and rear parking sensors aid maneuvering.

About the McLaren MP4-12C

Production: 2011–2014
Cylinders: 8
Powertrain: Combustion
Body: Coupe

The McLaren MP4-12C, introduced in 2011, marked McLaren Automotive's return to road car production after the iconic F1. Produced between 2011 and 2014, approximately 3,400 units were built, making it relatively rare among exotic supercars. It was succeeded by the 650S, but the MP4-12C remains a significant model as McLaren’s first modern production car, showcasing the brand’s Formula 1 engineering expertise.

Powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine (M838T), the MP4-12C initially delivered 592 horsepower, later upgraded to 616 hp in 2013. It achieves 0-60 mph in about 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph. The car features a carbon-fiber MonoCell chassis for exceptional rigidity and weight savings, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Its adaptive suspension and active aerodynamics, including the unique "Airbrake" system, enhance performance and handling. For collectors, the MP4-12C holds appeal due to its historical significance and limited production. Special editions, like the HS (High Sport) variant with bespoke aero upgrades (only 5 officially produced), are particularly sought after. Values have stabilized in recent years, with well-maintained examples often ranging between $100,000 and $150,000, depending on condition and provenance.
