    by the way, last trip in Shanghai a month ago, saw some super hyper crazy cars, a one-77, while SLR 722 S convertible, Veyron SS and a full carbon Zonda F.

    apparently the guy who runs the supercar club in Shanghai will be the first person take delivery of his F150. might see it doing donuts outside a club on youtube soon.

    I'd forgotten about this old thread. My 12C Spider now has 5,000km on the clock. It's a very impressive car. The exhaust sound is not as good as the Ferrari when driven hard but the ride is incredible and the performance is stronger. It's better than I expected it to be when I started the thread. I sort of bought a Mac by mistake but I'm very happy I did.

    Surely Ferrari will have to drop their prices here as well?
    First Porsche and now McLaren with significant reductions.

    Based on that article a 12C Spider is around $200k less than a 458 Spider.
    I'd rather have the 458 but that is a huge difference.

    Or is that just wishful thinking? :)

    That'll do wonders for resale values :(

    Go ask the local sales agent whether the 'deal' applies to new bespoke cars, or any of the couple of dozen McLaren-owned consignment stock sitting in bond... ;)

    390k for a brand new MP4 is pretty good. having said that you can get a 550-2 brand new for 350k LOL i think most people will buy a 550-2
