McLaren MP4-12C Spider 2014 Overview
After the MP4-12C coupe marked McLaren Automotive's return to building their own street cars, the MP4-12 C Spider, a hard-top convertible made its debut in late 2012. Their "affordable" supercar is still pricey, but it is positioned as a no-compromises piece of engineering, with a carbon-fibre tub chassis, bespoke 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8, a "pre-cog" 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, an adaptive hydraulic suspension system, an air-brake spoiler, various driving modes and even an F1-developed brake-steer system. Using absolutely no parts from other manufacturers, the McLaren can be fully customised, and can generally be had with manual sports seats, leather-alcantara upholstery, touchscreen multimedia system, MP3 stereo with USB port, power windows and mirrors, smart keyless entry, HID headlights, carbon-fibre interior trim, auto a/c, cruise control, cup-holders and all that, though there is no Bluetooth, rear camera or CD player. Standard safety features include front, side-curtain and knee airbags, ABS and defeatable stability control. Interestingly, McLaren offers future power and feature upgrades for free to all owners. Also, the body is customisable to any unique shapes, up to a point, because they are just moulded "SMC" composite panels attached to the chassis.
McLaren MP4-12C Spider 2014 Reliability & Resale Value
Reliability | |
---|---|
Resale Value | |
Known Problems | Windshield cracks reported, with little or no outside impact. Fuel-filler cover pops open while driving or gets stuck when required to open, due to defective locking-mechanism design. When battery dies, side-window is supposed to automatically come down a bit for cabin access, but when that doesn't happen due to design flaw, window shatters when you pull on the door. |
