McLaren MP4-12C Makes Its Southern California Debut

The EDJE spent time over lunch, Tuesday, March 8, 2011, interviewing our new best friend, Frank Stephenson - Design Director for McLaren Automotive Limited. The silver McLaren MP4-12C was flown from London to the Orange County Art Museum to be debuted to select members of the Southern California Automotive Press. The $238000, nearly 600 HP piece of exquisite supercar engineering is expected to go on sale sometime this summer ... so save your nickels. In Southern California, there will be two dealerships (Newport Beach / Beverly Hills) up and running by Summer 2011. The first year's production run will be for 1000 cars worldwide with about 30%-35% expected to be bought up here in California. The car they flew out has a governor that limits the speed of the car to about 15 mph. This summer, they will have test drive capable models, in many colors, available to the right potential client. All we know, for a limited production supercar designed specifically to combine F1 Season Series (8 Contractors / 12 Drivers' Championship titles), 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis 500, and Can-Am winning technology with daily road/street worthy sensibility and reliability to the retail market for under $250000, McLaren's MP4-12C is an unparalleled accomplishment! ... notes from The EDJE Original Posting: www.examiner.com
