The car utilizes a unique hydraulic configuration to suspend the vehicle. This is as opposed to more traditional coil springs, dampers and anti-roll bars.
The first car from the new company, the McLaren MP4-12C, is a high performance two-seat mid-engine model in the ‘core’ sports car market segment for cars costing between £125,000 and £175,000.
At its heart, the McLaren MP4-12C features a revolutionary carbon fibre chassis structure, the Carbon MonoCell: the first time a car in this market segment is based around such a strong and lightweight racing car engineering solution and the first time any car has ever featured a one-piece carbon fibre structure.
External contractors are responsible for producing all of the major components of the car. Only final assembly, paint and inspection/shipping occurring at the McLaren Production Centre at Woking, Surrey, England.
The design of the engine was based on a racing engine.
