McLaren 12C Spider confirmed for July 3 reveal

McLaren Automotive officially announced on Friday that it will reveal the 12C Spider, an open-top version of the MP4-12C supercar, on July 3.

There has been much speculation about an open-top version since the release of the original MP4-12C.

In a video interview, McLaren Formula One driver Jenson Button extols the virtues of open-top driving. Of course he could be talking about his MP4-27 Formula One car, not just the 12C Spider.
