Supercars of Hong Kong. McLaren MP4-12C Bronze Colour Spotted in Central

The McLaren MP4-12C remains a beautiful car and, in my humble opinion, she looks much better than her successors like the 650S. This bronze one was seen in Central Hong Kong close to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

The MP4-12C features a carbon fibre composite chassis, and is powered by a mid-mounted McLaren M838T 3.8-litre V8, twin-turbo engine developing approximately 592 hp (441 kW) and around 601 N·m of torque. The car makes use of Formula 1-sourced technologies such as "brake steer", where the inside rear wheel is braked during fast cornering to reduce understeer. Power is transmitted to the wheels through a seven-speed seamless shift dual-clutch gearbox.




Location: Central, Hong Kong
