I Want One, I Want One!

yes one of these, a McLaren MP4-12C, an 'affordable' supercar with the greenest credentials, a gull-winged 200mph supercar dubbed 'an F1 car for the road' the cars will be made in a new £40million factory designed by Sir Norman Foster and will create 300 jobs, using a one-piece carbon-fibre chassis McLaren plan to offer the car for around half the £300,000 price tag that would normally be expected of a car of this calibre, McLaren expects to make up to 1,000 cars in 2011 with annual manufacturing of vehicles reaching around 4,000 by the middle of the decade, the company plans to sell the 12C through McLaren retailers in 19 countries, with North America expected to account for around 30 to 40 per cent of the market, with aerodynamic styling designed to keep it on the ground at high speed, the new McLaren two-seater will accelerate from rest to 60mph in just 3.4 seconds, average fuel consumption is expected to be around 22mpg but emissions of carbon dioxide - the so-called greenhouse gas blamed for global warming - will be below 300g/km, whatever that is, so will it fit in your garage? below the answer to that and a few other vital statistics about it, Length: 14ft Width: 6ft 1in Height: 3ft 10in (with gull-wing doors closed) Height: 5ft (with gull-wing doors open) Weight of chassis: 81kg Total weight: 1,300kg Acceleration: 0 to 60mph in 3.4 seconds Engine: 3.8 litre V8 twin turbo, 600 brake-horse-power Gears: Seven speed F1-style paddle-shift Fuel consumption: around 22mpg Cost: £150,00 it looks so nice and as they say it is affordable, so one for me and one for her indoors, all I have to do now is chose the colours, oh I nearly forgot, find £300,000 for both of them! but in truth it does look nice.
