    OK so these might be a bit late, but here are some pics of the MC12 that the public couldn't get. I actually got to "drive" the thing off the truck and into the convention center, but we never got to hear it run - they had the computers pulled out so we couldn't go light it up downtown.

    Nice pics! I was in this same exact MC12 a few months ago. Did you grab the S/N of it?

    I can't imagine having carbon fibre seats. I'm sure it saves weight, but how much does a peice of alcantara weigh? And how is that very supportive? Just seems weird...

    MCC was just the name they gave the car during development. MC12 is the name of road and race cars.

    That is the same car, how crazy would it have been to spend hours at a time in that seat? I bet thats a pretty punishing ride.

    The reason the seat looks like that is because in this type of car the drive is shared by several drivers during a race. Each of whom are built differently and as a result they have different (removable) seat bottoms poured, which are swapped out at the driver changes.
