Finally after a long long wait, McLaren confirmed official performance figures for their yet to be launched MP4-12C.

This new type of British supercar is set to beat all the rivals from Germany and Italy by offering more of what they offer and at a higher quality. So while it’s insanely fast and handles like a dream, it is also practical, to some extent, and is relatively easy to live with and cheap to run. It is in fact a normal car that just happened to look awesome and goes like a stabbed rat!
