Mclaren MP4-12C

The Mclaren MP4-12C reaches 60 mph in 2.92 s (100 km/h in 3.03 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 10.69 s, tripping the lights at 135.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.68 s and the eighth mile in 6.98 s, reaching 100 mph in 6.11 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 MP4-12C

The 2010 Mclaren MP4-12C is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,434 kg with 591 bhp, which works out at 412 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 412 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.68 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 244th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 31st quickest of the 32 Mclarens here. Its 135.2 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 MP4-12C 0-60 time?
The Mclaren MP4-12C reaches 60 mph in 2.92 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 244th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mclaren MP4-12C quarter mile time?
10.69 s at 135.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 6.98 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.68 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mclaren MP4-12C have?
591 bhp and 1,434 kg, which is 412 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 MP4-12C?
Closest here on pace: Maserati MC20 Cielo (2.90 s), Ferrari Amalfi (2.92 s), Ferrari Roma (2.99 s). Each one can be raced against the Mclaren MP4-12C 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 MP4-12C 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
