McLaren's new MP4-12C: Can it even be compared to the old McLaren?

The car company known as McLaren doesn't produce a whole bunch of street cars. In fact they have only produced a handful, one of which was the famous McLaren F1.

McLaren does have some pretty deep roots when it comes to racing. Their F1 team is one of the best in the world with Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton racing for it. 


Back in 1992 McLaren decided they wanted to build the fastest supercar the world had ever seen, and boy oh boy did they ever.
