Going Topless: McLaren MP4- 12C

The best strip teases also do not last long, but McLaren has been tantalizing all auto fans with concepts slowly revealing a sexy silhouette while keeping major features a mystery. McLaren is already in work to unveil a convertible version of the MP4-12C super car.

They have plans to introduce this new car with a retractable hardtop just like the roof Ferrari has used on the front engine California. The retractable roof line is a distinguishing feature  for a mid engine super car and  will make it stand apart from its opponent editions like the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider, Mercedes SLS  AMG  Cabriolet, and the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.

The light weight hardtop will be made from aluminum or carbon fibers and will fold into the sleek body frame between the engine compartment and passenger compartment. It is presumed that the company will retain its unique scissor door design, unlike the SLS AMG edition that will lose its Gulling doors in the new roadster version.

It is rumored that the convertible McLaren edition will be powered by the 3.8 liter twin turbo V8 engine which would produce 600 horsepower just like the coupe edition. However, you can expect a premium price tag of approximate $250,000 attached to it.

The designers at McLaren are working hard to preserve the MP4- 12C’s top speed of 200 plus mph.

The engineers are working with full dedication to offer a true combination of style and performance.

Overall the convertible Mp4-12C would satiate all those buyers who lay importance to style and speed rather than price tag.
