McLaren MP4-12C: Now it’s the performance photos & video

McLaren MP4-12C Performance We should probably call today ‘McLaren Day’, not Valentine’s Day. For today is the day we get every last morsel of detail on McLaren’s first new car in almost twenty years – the McLaren MP4-12C. Keen readers – and those not in Europe – will have seen we posted all the MP4-12C performance data at midnight last night – it was all embargoed until today.

Renault-Nissan and Mitsubishi to join forces

MITSUBISHI and the existing Renault-Nissan alliance are set to work together on a series of new cars. Discussions aren’t finished but as part of the deal Mitsubishi will get hold of a Renault chassis large enough to use as a base a full-size saloon for the North American market. The firms will also further develop an electric version of a Japan-only ‘kei car’.
