McLaren MP4-12C in Abu Dhabi – on video & in pictures

McLaren MP4-12C in Abu Dhabi

McLaren are opening dealerships across the Middle East, hence new photos and video of the MP4-12C.

If you sell supercars – or any sort of car that costs an arm and a leg – the Middle East is always going to be an important market for you. Which goes some way to explaining McLaren’s photos and video of the MP4-12C in Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi is not only home to an F1 Grand Prix – the advertising window for McLaren Road Cars – but is also the home of the latest McLaren Showroom, opened by McLaren’s MD Antony Sheriff, and one of what will be a total of six McLaren Showrooms in the region.

Having shareholders like TAG (owned by French Saudi Mansour Ojjeh) and Mumtalakat (run by Bahrainian Talal al Zain) is also a strong impetus for McLaren’s high profile in the region to hit the target of a quarter of McLaren sales going to the Middle East and Asia.

So to mark the Abu Dhabi showroom McLaren took a camera crew with the latest RED high-def video, and a pre-release version of Canon’s 1DX for the stills, to come up with some stunning footage of the MP4-12C running through the dunes and on the Yas Marina Circuit.

And it may all just be an advert for McLaren, but the video’s still very much worth the watch.
