Mclaren 12C

The Mclaren 12C reaches 60 mph in 2.85 s (100 km/h in 2.95 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 10.54 s, tripping the lights at 134.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.66 s and the eighth mile in 6.89 s, reaching 100 mph in 5.87 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

The 2012 Mclaren 12C is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,434 kg with 617 bhp, which works out at 430 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 430 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.66 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 210th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 25th quickest of the 32 Mclarens here. Its 134.2 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 0-60 time?
The Mclaren 12C reaches 60 mph in 2.85 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 210th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mclaren 12C quarter mile time?
10.54 s at 134.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 6.89 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.66 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mclaren 12C have?
617 bhp and 1,434 kg, which is 430 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 333 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mclaren 12C?
Closest here on pace: Ferrari F12 Berlinetta (2.85 s), Maserati MC20 Cielo (2.90 s), Lamborghini Huracán Evo RWD (2.94 s). Each one can be raced against the Mclaren 12C 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 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.
