The Mclaren is known as the best manufacturer by putting the Formula 1 car into street cars.

This MP4-12C equipped with a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine and it uses a flat-plane crank, which is why it doesn’t sound like a traditional V8. However it’s a lot louder than expected, particularly when cold, but once warmed up it quietens down to provide a less aurally-intrusive experience. The McLaren’s limits are way beyond anything you can do on a public road. That’s when you’ll be grateful that both the powertrain and suspension have three settings each - Normal, Sport and Track.

For safety, the MP4-12C has been built with an immensely strong carbon-fibre tub, with aluminium crumple zones front and rear, keeping the passenger cell intact. There’s also driver and passenger front, side and head airbags, as well as traction control, ABS, ESC, brake-disc wiping and precharge.
