Mclaren 12C Spider

The Mclaren 12C Spider reaches 60 mph in 2.90 s (100 km/h in 3.00 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 10.64 s, tripping the lights at 135.9 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.67 s and the eighth mile in 6.93 s, reaching 100 mph in 6.06 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 12C Spider

The 2012 Mclaren 12C Spider is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,512 kg with 616 bhp, which works out at 407 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 407 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.67 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 229th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 29th quickest of the 32 Mclarens here. Its 135.9 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Mclaren 12C Spider 0-60 time?
The Mclaren 12C Spider reaches 60 mph in 2.90 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 229th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mclaren 12C Spider quarter mile time?
10.64 s at 135.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 6.93 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.67 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mclaren 12C Spider have?
616 bhp and 1,512 kg, which is 407 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 343 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mclaren 12C Spider?
Closest here on pace: Maserati MC20 Cielo (2.90 s), Ferrari Amalfi (2.92 s), Lamborghini Huracán Evo RWD (2.94 s). Each one can be raced against the Mclaren 12C Spider in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mclaren 12C Spider is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
