Video shows McLaren MP4-12C Spider in action

While McLaren Automotive revealed the new MP4-12C Spider on July 3, there was a noticeable lack of “in-motion” film that automotive enthusiasts often crave.

Well, hold your breath no longer. The wait is over.

Put together by McLaren Automotive, this short video has all of the goodness of an automotive manufacturer that has its roots in Formula One.

Watch the car as it drops the top while in motion, a conversion from coupe to roadster that takes 17 seconds.

Also, there is plenty of engine noise and squealing tires to spice up this video.
