One of my favorite marques is bringing a stellar, new product to market. And, ladies and gentlemen, it will be making its appearance within the next week.
Slated for July 3, the McLaren MP4-12C Spider is expected to make its big name debut.
Though McLaren is more than happy to show a teaser shot of the all-new Macca, you'll notice it isn't revealing whether or not the vehicle is going to benefit from a soft-top or a hard-top. It doesn't matter anyway.
If you're looking for pictures facing the other way, AutoSpies already showed you those images back in JANUARY.
Aside from that, carry on and make sure to check back on July 3.
McLaren's press release follows:
McLaren announces new 12C Spider
McLaren announces its next new high performance sports car, the 12C Spider
McLaren releases video of Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Racing driver, Jenson Button discussing driving in an open top vehicle
McLaren Automotive announces its second model, the new 12C Spider. The new Spider boasts 616 horsepower, a twin-turbo V8-engine, and just like the coupe it is capable of 0-60mph in 3 seconds*.
The 12C Spider is built on the same groundbreaking carbon fiber MonoCell chassis as the coupe. With all of the advanced technology from the 12C coupe incorporated into the 12C Spider it will be just as dynamic as the coupe to drive.
To mark the announcement of the new Spider, McLaren is releasing a video featuring Formula 1 driver Jenson Button. Button, who knows well the sensation of driving at full throttle in an open top car, discusses what speed means to him; the connection he feels with the machine he drives and about what he senses when driving at 200mph without a roof. But is he talking about his MP4-27 Formula 1 car or the 12C Spider? Go to www.youtube.com/mclarenautomotivetv to find out.
More information on this exciting new addition to the McLaren Automotive range will be released in the next few days when ordering commences across the company's network of retailers.
McLaren's video follows:
Jenson Button is a man used to excitement behind the wheel. But what does speed mean to him? How does he feel driving at a blistering 300km/h, open to the elements all around him? We ask the F1 ace about the sensation of speed, the emotion of driving. But is he talking about his MP4-27 Formula 1 car or the 12C Spider?
