It’s judgement day for the new McLaren 12C! Watch Chris Chilton’s video road test of the 592bhp supercar, Britain’s answer to the sensational Ferrari 458 Italia.
Chris flew to Portugal in late January, one of only 30 journalists from around the world invited to test prototype versions of the 12C. He drove the twin-turbo V8 sports car on both the Portimao track and on the road.
The McLaren’s standout feature is its sensational turn of speed. Only two cars have left Chris gasping for words under full acceleration: the 987bhp Bugatti Veyron and now the McLaren. But there’s more to any car than blinding pace. How does the 12C sound? Does it have the brutal ride of a racing car? And is the steering as incisive as a Ferrari’s?
Watch the video to find out – and read the accompanying 15-page feature in CAR magazine’s March issue, on sale now.
