McLaren to introduce special edition MP4-12C at Singapore Grand Prix
Thu, 20 Sep 2012
McLaren will unveil a unique version of the MP4-12C at the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix on Friday, Sept. 21. It's aptly named MP4-12C Singapore Edition.
The Singapore model is basically a visual upgrade, using Fire Black for the exterior with red and silver highlights. It will also have upgraded, lightweight wheels, and more aggressive front and rear bumpers. The interior will be trimmed to match the Vodafone-McLaren Mercedes F1 car.
The supercar houses McLaren's 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, delivering 592 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed automated manual pushes power to the rear wheels.
It's an extremely limited run of only three cars, and two have reportedly been sold, at a price of $1.04 million each.
