Currently known as the McLaren MP4-12C, it will have a top speed of over 200 miles an hour and be capable of getting from 0-60 mph in under four seconds. This two-seater definitely carries the supercar price tag with the cost of buying this car expected to be more than a quarter million dollars. Building a car better than the original McLaren F1 was always going to be a difficult challenge, and perhaps that is why for McLaren’s next supercar the company isn’t setting its sights too high.British sportscar MP4-12C is a competitor for Ferrari and Lamborghini, design follows similar principles to McLaren’s Formula 1 cars, where everything is for a reason .It's planning on building 1000 units in 2011, a quarter of which will go each to the domestic UK market and over here to the United States.
