The new McLaren MP4-12C, a car described as the concurrent of the Ferrari 458 Italia. That this also includes that this car can be unstable sometimes, is suprising. The car seems to be quite perfect and is very easy to drive. However, on the German Autobahn it didn’t go so well for this two months old McLaren.
Almost nothing of the car is intact. It seems to be that this car made a turn-over. Suprising is the fact that on this piece of road also a Dodge Viper ACR, Maserati GranTurismo and a Corvette crashed, all in two hours. They all have rear wheel drive and massive power. Maybe the tarmac was wet and the cars spinned. Anyway, there are now four supercars less on the roads, although we ask ourselves if the McLaren will be repared.
