# Remixed Supercars McLaren MP4-12C is Really, Really Fast. Seriously. By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-09-09 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-mp4-12c References: [topgear](http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/mclaren-mp4-12c-2009-09-09) & [mclarenautomotive](http://www.mclarenautomotive.com/) Get stoked people, the [McLaren](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-w1) [MP4-12C](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canada-10th-anniversary) is here! If you live under a rock, and didn’t know that the McLaren [F1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riproaring-british-supercar) was per chance the greatest road car of ever, then maybe you aren’t nearly as excited as you should be. But to the rest of us, break out the party hats!! Here are the details: “The mid-engined 12C is powered by an all-new 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 with a dry sump and flat-plane crank. It produces 600bhp and 443lb ft of torque, 80 per cent of which is available from less than 2,000rpm. It will weigh just under 1,400kg.” With these specifications, it is safe to reckon the McLaren MP4-12C will do 0-60 in 3 seconds, and have a top speed of 200mph. Damn. Designed with speed in mind, this racetrack darling does not dabble in style for styles sake. With only 1000 McLaren MP4-12C being produced over the next year, get in line, everyone will want one. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Supercar Remodeling:** The redesigning of supercars to enhance their speed and acceleration. - **Luxury Sports Car Innovation:** The introduction of advanced technology and customization options to improve the performance of high-end sports cars. - **Exclusive Supercar Production:** The limited and exclusive production of high-performance supercars for a select group of buyers. ### Where This Applies - **Luxury Automobiles:** Automakers that produce high-performance sports cars could introduce innovative features to increase their appeal to a wider audience. - **Racing Technologies:** Brands that focus on developing racing technologies could collaborate with car manufacturers to create even faster and more efficient supercars. - **Exotic Car Rentals:** Companies that offer exotic car rentals could include supercars like the McLaren MP4-12C in their fleet to attract car enthusiasts and provide a unique driving experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industry-Leading Hybrid Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-w1.md) - [Sleek Racing-Inspired Super Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maserati-mc20.md) - [Audacious Electric Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-supercars.md) - [Hybrid Convertible Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artura-spider.md) - [Uniquely Personalizable Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/765lt-spider.md) - [Canada-Celebrating Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canada-10th-anniversary.md) - [Luxury Game-Inspired Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solus-gt.md) - [Reimagined Road-Legal Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadlegal-supercar.md) - [Camouflaged Track-Racing Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artura-gt4.md)
