McLaren 12C - The first McLaren supercar ever produced

By -

Not too long ago I found an old set of supercar trump cards which I forgot I had and some of the cars in this set were pretty interesting to say the least. One of these cars is the McLaren 12c. The full name of this car is actually the MP4-12C which is a strange name for a supercar. To make it easier though its just called the 12C.


McLaren of course are well known as a Formula 1 racing team and also for producing supercars like the P1, 675LT and 720S but it was the 12C which was the first road supercar that they produced and that was launched back in 2011 and it was produced until 2014. Now the 12C has a V8 engine and a top speed of over 300 kmph so the 12C is obviously very fast and also very powerful. The 12C is also very well designed and it looks great considering it was the first road car McLaren ever designed and created. The 12C also has a unique suspension system.

There is also a convertible version of the 12C called the 12C Spider which is also pretty good looking too.


Yet somehow despite all this the McLaren 12C is a pretty forgotten McLaren and is just not as known as the other McLaren cars so it felt right to make a post about it to make sure more people remember the 12C.

The McLaren 12C was the supercar that started it all for McLaren in making road supercars so I thank the 12C for making the way for the many great McLarens that would come after it because if the 12C was never made then we would not have so many great McLarens today.

Porsche 911 Carrera S

November 15th is the 1st anniversary of the Fast Entertainer blog and it is a pretty special occasion which is why it feels like the right time to make a post about the supercar that started it all. The very first supercar that I have documented. The Porsche 911 Carrera S. This is the actual car which I spotted and photographed. You can see it has a nice red color, all black wheels and even a spoiler in the back. You can also see the Carrera S name on the side of the car. I later found out the Porsche 911 Carrera S is a slightly better variant compared to the base 911 as well which is why I was very happy this happened to be my first documented find. I have of course seen or spotted many supercars since then and I have been able to document them. But the first find is a special one and I am glad that it was something like this. The Porsche 911 Carrera S I will always remember for being the car responsible for me starting my mission to document supercars which eventually lead to the c...

Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica

The Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica is the newest Huracan variant that was launched. It is a mid level variant positioned in between the normal Evo variant and the top end track focused STO variant. The Huracan Tecnica is powered by a 631 horsepower V10, so even though it isn’t as powerful as the STO it is still a pretty powerful car by itself. The car reaches a top speed of 325 kmph as well, so the Tecnica is a great package for those who want a faster Huracan that is still road friendly and not track focused. The Huracan Tecnica has some visible exterior changes as well. The general looks are a lot sharper and more aggressive compared to the regular Huracan especially with the black bits at the front. There are a wide variety of customization options as well for owners to spec their car as per their liking, like a carbon fiber hood. Knowing Lamborghini’s pattern of launching and replacing their two supercars with only a short gap and the Aventador already being replaced by the Revuelto j...

Ferrari SF90 XX

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale is already an incredible car by itself, having a total of 1000 hp being powered by a hybrid V8 engine, a top speed of 300+ kmph and a super powerful acceleration. It makes the SF90 Stradale one of Ferraris most powerful cars currently. But if there is one thing you need to know about Ferrari it’s that they will always find a way to enhance some of their fastest production cars and make them even more powerful, usually by creating a high performance or track focused variant that is limited edition. Ferrari have made several of these types of supercars already with the 458 Speciale, 488 Pista, F12 TDF and the 812 Competizione for example. Now it’s the SF90 Stradale’s turn. Meet the Ferrari SF90 XX. So the SF90 XX is said to have 1016 hp and increased downforce among other improvements. There’s also several exterior changes such as an added spoiler, the option to have either yellow or orange colored vents and the overall race car like design that has been put on ...
