Alongside the X-1, McLaren Automotive also presented the new McLaren MP4-12C Spyder. It’s the convertible version of the highly successful MP4-12C coupe. The car on display features stunning Volcanic Yellow bodywork, different to the metallic red example first revealed in the press releases.
The McLaren MP4-12C Spider gets the same McLaren engineered monocoque chassis from the Coupe weighing just 75kg. It required no additional strengthening as the MP4-12C was originally designed as a convertible.
The folding roof mechanism adds just 40kg of weight to the whole package and the hard top can be retracted at the touch of a button. It takes just 17 seconds to fully retract the roof, a process you can see in our picture gallery!
