\"2011<\/a><\/p>\n

Following McLaren Automotive’s grand opening<\/a> yesterday, the company has released more details on its upcoming supercar, the MP4-12C<\/a>, and the preliminary numbers look quite promising.<\/p>\n

Utilizing the launch-control function of its dual-clutch, seven-speed gearbox (there’s no three-pedal manual available), McLaren claims the car is capable of a 0-to-60-mph time of under 3 seconds and a 0\u2013124 time of under 10 seconds. Those acceleration numbers would make the 600-horsepower 12C quicker than the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (3.4 seconds), the Ferrari 430 Scuderia (3.5), the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (3.2), and possibly the new Porsche 911 Turbo (2.9). We haven’t tested the new 562-horsepower Ferrari 458 Italia, but our estimate for that car is a 3.3-second run to 60.<\/p>\n

Although McLaren wasn’t ready to release the curb weight of the new car (or the kerb <\/em>weight, for that matter), it did reveal that the dry weight\u2014weight without any fluids\u2014of the lightest version will come in at 2860 pounds. McLaren’s number leads us to expect a curb weight of around 3200 pounds, making it roughly 200 pounds lighter than the less-powerful 458 Italia.<\/p>\n
