Thanks guys!
We recently spent a week detailing the new McLaren MP4-12C and what a piece of engineering marvel this one is. Whilst the Ferrari 458 is evocative in it's styling and handling, the MP4-12C is pure technical prowess. Right down to the way it's technology powers the car and keeps it in control. Impressive is a mild understatement.
From any angle, the car is indeed aggressively styled. It seems to have design elements from nature's aqua-marine creatures...
Our Signature Series detailing took care of the paintwork producing an extremely high-gloss finish and treated with our renowned hydrophobic coating system for fuss-free all-weather protection.
The interior is a design study in itself with turbines for a/c vents and minimalist centre console.
The cabin is a luxurious blend of nappa leather, alcantara and carbon-fibre. All of which were treated with a combination of our popular 5-stage leather-feed system, Alcantara-Guard system along with the carbon-fibre sections being buffed to perfection and protected with our in-house coating system.
Paint quality was generally acceptable for a supercar but it seemed to have issues near the engine where the intense heat from the turbocharged block caused the painted section below the engine cover to melt.
Pure drama.
The butterfly-doors are a feature for the MP4-12C and works in dramatic fashion. The swinging movement feels lighter than the Lamborghini's scissor-doors to operate as is the cool but gimmicky touch-sensitive door lever mechanism.
It's not difficult to somehow appreciate the rather organic and symmetrical cues of the McLaren as they seem to be strikingly avant-garde yet oddly-familiar. You'll have to sit in one up-close to understand it.
The integrated LED tail lamps look absolutely sublime...
MP4-12C - The Shark.
The powerful mid-mounted twin-turbocharged M838T 3.8-litre V8 engine packs a 592 horsepower punch and the exhaust note certainly rumbles with character.
Detailing her for a week makes you realise how compact the MP4-12C's dimensions are relative to other supercars but she certainly stands out with a distinctive design language which is impressive.
Hope you enjoyed the photos!
