"When the last car your company produced was widely considered to be the greatest road car ever made, the McLaren F1, you have some big shoes to fill. While the F1 was designed to have no peers, the MP4-12C takes aim directly at the Italian and German competition with an innovative new all-carbon fiber chassis and a turbocharged V8 developed in-house at McLaren. Tuned for maximum low-end torque, the MP4 can bring all 442 ft-lbs. to bear at a low 2,000 RPM, which means the MP4 has rocketship launch characteristics. One look at the huge, deep side inlets and the high-mount exhaust bores should tell you the new McLaren means business. Lewis Hamilton thinks so; McLaren’s ace F1 driver likes the MP4-12C so much he appears as the voice of the car in Pixar’s computer-animated film Cars 2."—Official description[1]
The 2011 McLaren 12C Coupé[2] - abbreviated as "McLaren 12C" and previously known as "McLaren MP4-12C" - is a rear-wheel drive supercar by McLaren.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 3 as part of the World Class Car Pack and all subsequent main series titles except Forza Horizon 3 and Forza Motorsport (2023).
Synopsis[]
The 12C is McLaren's first in-house-developed car since the 1993 McLaren F1 and its first car in the "Super Series" model range that was continued by the McLaren 650S in 2014.
It also saw the first application of McLaren's 3.8L twin-turbocharged V8 engine codenamed M838T that was also used in subsequent McLaren road cars. Pre-2013 models including the model used in the Forza series have a power output of 592 hp (441 kW) and 443 ft·lb (600 N·m) of torque. The transmission is a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic using paddle-shifters.
