Car Barn Sport | McLaren MP4-12C Spider (2013) | The new Spider is mechanically identical to the 12C 12C. It uses the engine 625PS update that part of the year 2013 12C update. Acceleration - 0-62 mph (100 km / h) - takes just 3.1 seconds (when used with Pirelli P Zero Corsa), the same as the coupe. Fuel consumption and emissions remain unchanged, the new 24.2 mpg (11.7 l/100 km) the combined cycle and 279g/km. The figures are much better than most high performance sports car convertible in line with the commitment of the McLaren fuel efficiency in its class. The maximum speed is 204 mph (329 km / h). The retractable hardtop (RHT) on 12C Spider is a fully automated system into two parts, which can be raised or lowered in less than 17 seconds at a speed up to 30 km / h (19 mph). When lowered, the roof lets in a body-color hard cover tonneau, which contains two buttresses. If the roof is up, the area may be used under the coverage of additional storage space.
The spider has a 12C heating rear window which can be actuated independently of the roof. With the roof down, the rear window is automatically moved to a position of "aero" to minimize flicker. Turning system protection system comprises a steel structure inside of each of the rear shock absorbing and occupant. To extend the changes in detail the Spider 12C both the audio and climate systems. Audio output changes when the roof is open - to compensate disturbances other - while the climate is adjusted when the roof is lowered.As with all McLaren, the 12C is a sports car spider heart," says design director Frank Stephenson. "This is not true for many - if any - other high-performance convertible. Place the roof, it looks like a coupe sports car, but also at Le Mans could be in London or Los Angeles. The retractable hardtop (RHT) has been developed specifically for the 12C spider. Light weight, high strength combined was highest importance - as in all areas of the 12C. Heated rear incorporates roof structure.
At the end of the roof to reduce the cycle completely close the window and the rear window is "aero" position, the cabin also reduces the wind. To maintain the switch when the cycle is complete and lower the rear window of the cab. Roof can, lowered the rear window to allow more engine noise in the cabin and also driving experience semi-open, even in bad weather. Display cover acts as a deflector reduces noise in the cabin. About the same mechanical spider 12C to 12C is a mid-engine two-seater rear-engined high performance sports car. This gives great advantages of weight, strength and torsional rigidity - all to improve the handling, ride comfort and performance. The MonoCell is a molded piece frame, weighs only 75 kg (165 lbs). Most convertible needs a strengthened framework to reduce flexing and more weight - has not yet been reached, but may compromise the structural integrity of a coupe These flex precise management and reduce driving comfort, while the weight of most affect the performance
The MonoCell carbon, not only in the strength and weight advantages, but also improves packaging. We started with the drivers," says design director Frank Stephenson. "With the 12C and 12C spider, the driver sits near the center line of the car, more control and driving pleasure. Pedals are positioned in reducing arc intrusion. As Spider 12C 12C visibility at the top of the category. Carbon fiber MonoCell 12C and 12C spider after more than three decades of innovation carbon McLaren. In 1981, McLaren Racing, the carbon monocoque to Formula 1 ™. The legendary McLaren F1 car drive, launched in 1992, was the first road car, a carbon fiber chassis and body. In fact, since 1981, McLaren has never been a car without a carbon frame built. Spider on the 12C and 12C profiles, mergers and aluminum are welded to the front and rear structures Abstellschablone bolted directly MonoCell. MonoCell with carbon composite lightweight panels bearing the body A redesigned glass cover maintains a magnificent panoramic view of the twin-turbo V8.
Wing "active" on the back increases the angle to increase downforce and improve braking stability and cornering performance - as with the 12C 12C Spider is the only McLaren Airbrake. "As with any other aspect of the cars we have," adding lightness', "said McLaren Automotive Chief Test Driver Chris Goodwin. The total weight of the new Spider 12C is 1474 kg, what. Overall, the 12C spider is much lighter than most convertible and a stronger and more rigid. A light structure allows designers to gain weight in the design process. Designed by McLaren Automotive, the British manufacturing M838T engine system dry sump lubrication and a crankshaft surface, the two engineers who helped put the engine low in the chassis, lowering the center of gravity and improve handling and agility have. "The 12C and 12C engine spider and lightweight, the range tracking slow-speed medium power and high speed extended range," says Richard Farquhar, Function Group Manager for Powertrain

The McLaren MP4-12C Spider, as well as the 2013 model year received 12C, the 625PS latest and most powerful (616hp) version of the engine for more intense acceleration without loss of efficiency. This system operates by controlling the engine intake noise at the selected cabin interior in different concentrations depending on the mode of the vehicle engine. To ensure that the acoustic experience is optimized for lead discovery, the exhaust has been designed to adjust the harmonics of the form 12C spider body. A sport exhaust system is available as an option, it is lighter and stronger than the available material. Information on "Powertrain" panel line dynamic active The goal with the 12C and 12C Spider executive offered comfort as driving and precision handling. Convertibles articularly fast convertible tend to impair driving performance and handling, and often with suspension settings different from those of counterparts solid head. The 12C Spider is a revelation.
The McLaren MP4-12C Spider cabin design is identical to the 12C offers a range of options for materials and colors that allow customers to customize a degree of freedom for their cars. The interior of the roof panels are RHT coating fabric or optional Carbon Black Carbon Black Alcantara. The audio system designed specifically for the Meridian 12C Spider, the British custom hi-fi specialists optimized the performance of music, depending on whether the vehicle is in motion with the top up or down. Meridian was to optimize the audio system, the development since the beginning of the car design, the sound quality. The automatic volume control (AVC) and automatic tone control (ATC) are both the spider 12C recalibrated. Individual speakers are automatically adjusted for the increase in external sound. The control system of the environment is further adapted to automatically adjust, when the roof is lowered. Air windshield is reduced and instead diverted the lower cabin prevented. Fan speed is also responsive to the vehicle speed to maintain the desired temperature. When the roof is in place, the climate parameters of 12C applied. The McLaren MP4-12C Spider will be built in the new £ 40 million McLaren Production Centre (MPC), located in Woking, Surrey, close to the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC).
