McLaren MP4-12C 2013 Oman Prices & Specs

The awkwardly-named MP4-12C marks McLaren Automotive's return to building their own street cars, having dabbled in Formula 1 for years now. 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.
