First drive: 2012 McLaren MP4-12C in Dubai
It isn’t everyday that media people get to drive a supercar. Well, in our case, we never get to drive a supercar. The closest we’d come before was the Nissan GT-R, but that’s stretching it. But then we finally managed to talk ourselves into the driver’s seat of one. We skipped secretive Ferrari, Lamborghini et al and went straight to the McLaren MP4-12C, the British carmaker’s first proper model since they redefined the meaning of “supercar” more than a decade ago with the McLaren F1.
Unique McLaren X1 Concept revealed
Ever fancied a life where you have so much of wealth to spare that you want everything around you, including your car, to be unique enough to boast your individuality? If you do have that kind of money, and if that unique car which you fancy happens to be something like a McLaren, then fancy no more – McLaren Special Operations, the division of McLaren Automotive responsible for bespoke projects, can realise your dreams, just as they did for an anonymous client of theirs, by building an exclusive model perfectly designed to match the client’s desires, and calling it the X-1 concept.
Video of the week: McLaren MP4-12C roars in Dubai
We get lots of requests to do videos, but we generally don’t waste time churning out boring nonsense. If you haven’t heard already, we drove a McLaren MP4-12C recently. And we have video too. For footage that barely lasts a minute, you can see the launch control, the air-brake spoiler, the active suspension, the braking power and even the exhaust note, all shot during our road-test just outside Dubai.

So we got a 2012 McLaren MP4-12C
It took a while. It took a long while. But we finally managed to get our hands on a supercar. A McLaren MP4-12C no less. Yes, we finally can remember the jumbled name of the car now.
