I ended up following this rare beauty last night. When stopped at the light, to my surprise, I heard 2 women comment, not about the McLaren but about the Crossfire and how it would be their prefered choice. A chick magnet! Personally, I would switch with the McLaren anyday! Double wet clutch paddle shift 7 speed gearbox. This thing not only is sharp looking but it has the sound to match. Some may assume that the MP4 12C is a 12 cylinder, however it is a V8, twin turbo. Looking at the video, I can see 2 calipers(a 4 piston and what seems to be 1 single piston one). Could this other caliper be the "emergency/parking brake"? I believe the Mercedes SLR shares some of it's technology...

Feel free to comment about this exotic?
