Additional features comprise remote keyless entry with proximity push-button start, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, power windows, front fog lights, a rear spoiler, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, traction control, and electronic stability.

The McLaren MP4-12C Spider, introduced in 2012 as the convertible variant of the MP4-12C coupe, was produced until 2014. Approximately 1,000 units of the Spider were manufactured, making it a relatively rare model compared to other exotic cars of its era. It marked McLaren’s return to road car production under the McLaren Automotive banner, following the iconic F1, and represented a significant step in establishing the brand’s modern lineup for collectors.
Powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, the MP4-12C Spider delivered 616 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It achieved a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph, even with the retractable hardtop. The carbon-fiber MonoCell chassis provided exceptional rigidity, and the innovative roof mechanism added minimal weight. For collectors, the MP4-12C Spider holds appeal due to its historical role as an early modern McLaren, with values remaining stable or appreciating slightly in recent years, often ranging between $100,000 and $150,000 depending on condition and mileage. Special editions or bespoke MSO (McLaren Special Operations) customizations can command higher premiums in the market.
