Our 134TH
convertible
Our philosophy of innovating to win applies as readily to our road cars as it does to our racing cars. Every component is a bespoke design, engineered specifically for the 12C Spider. We’ve used McLaren engineering expertise and innovation to design the 12C Spider, redefining what you’d expect from a convertible. Built around you
To create the ultimate driving experience, there's only one place to start: you. Everything about the 12C Spider's cockpit and driving position is designed to optimise what you see, hear and experience.No roof. No stopping.
Why stop? We've made sure the 12C Spider is capable of retracting its roof in less than 17 seconds at speeds of up to 30kph to make sure nothing interrupts your drive.See it in action
Top down experience.
Track car performance.
The 12C Spider features the same 3.8 litre V8 engine found in the 12C. It delivers drivers 625PS and 600NM of power and torque, with efficient twin turbo technology accessing over 80% of power below 2000 rpm. With acceleration and pace rivaling the 12C, the 12C Spider is the no compromise convertible.Weight. Our mortal enemy.
A car's weight saps performance. Our engineers have created weight-saving solutions to maximise power output and make the 12C Spider only 40kg heavier than its hard top equivalent. Its automatic roof is built from lightweight materials, making it the lightest of any retractable hard top mechanism of any convertible on the road.Inside the 12C
12C Spider is built from technology inherited from McLaren's Formula 1TM team that's since been banned on the track. Good thing the same rules don't apply to the road.Follow

Obsessed by detail
Small details make the difference when you set out to create the perfect driving experience, and McLaren has held a lifelong obsession to seek out the details that move our cars closer to perfection. Like bringing the driver and passenger seating inboard to avoid the need to offset foot pedals and provide a more central driving position. Or keeping the cowl as low as possible to ensure the driver has a clear view of the front of the car.The beauty of simplicity
Every inch of the 12C Spider is bespoke and crafted to precision. The steering wheel has been modeled from digital scans of a World Championship winning drivers steering wheel for optimal ergonomics. The Formula 1TM style rocker shift is designed to deliver you an unparalleled sense of control, and 12C Spider's controls are distributed rationally according to how often you use them. This principle of simplicity has been applied to the whole interior to produce a consistent luxury feel that enhances the driving experience with every touch.
Maximum torsional rigidity
The carbon fibre construction of the MonoCell provides much higher levels strength and rigidity than aluminium. Even without additonal reinforcment the 12C Spider handles every bit as well as the 12C. Even with the roof down, there's no compromise on performance.Minimal drag co-efficient
From decades of experience in racing, we understand the edge aerodynamics can give you. That's why Formula 1TM inspired technology is built in to the Spider. Side-mounted radiators, a Formula 1TM style diffuser and a flat under tray all combine to deliver maximum efficiency. The retractable hard top and tonneau cover have been designed to seamlessly integrate with the 12C's body work, so that 12C Spider experiences a minimal increase in drag.

| Fuel efficiency EU MPG (litres/100km) | 24.2 (11.7) | 24.2 (11.7) |
| CO2 g/km | 279 | 279 |
All figures apply to a European specification MP4-12C
The MonoCell
Built on the same groundbreaking carbon MonoCell chassis found at the centre of the 12C - the torsional rigidity of a carbon fibre construction brings a new dimension of performance to the 12C Spider. The structural integrity of the vehicle is built into the MonoCell. This ensures the 12C Spider remains lightweight at only 75KG, preserving the performance and dynamic handling of a coupe whilst delivering the open top exhilaration of a convertible.Dual design
The 12C Spider's weight is packaged to deliver the same perfect poise and dynamic performance as the 12C. Through intelligent design the weight distribution of the 12C Spider has only 0.5% difference to the 12C to deliver a convertible experience that doesn't compromise on performance.
Brake Steer
Brake Steer cancels out understeer by applying precise braking force to the inside rear wheel. This pivots the car and enhances cornering performance. It was an innovation that was so effective in Formula 1TM, it was banned for giving McLaren too great an advantage over the opposition. But it's an edge you can take on to the road.
With Brake Steer and Airbrake
These innovations allow later braking and earlier application of power, delivering faster cornering on the race lineWithout Brake Steer and Airbrake
To maintain control, braking must be applied earlier and power applied later, as the driver waits for the car to turn
Active Aerodynamics
The 12C Spiders Airbrake generates up to 80 kg of drag when deployed, and ensures 50:50 weight distribution under heavy braking. This is the same amount of drag that is produced by the DRS wing on a Formula 1TM car.Proactive chassis control
The 12C Spider has been designed with a hydraulically interconnected suspension system, to give drivers an uncompromised ride and handling on the road and on the track. Proactive Chassis Control and Adaptive Damping allows the 12C Spider to absorb impacts whilst maintaining roll stiffness, adjusting hundreds of times a second to ensure you get the best drive for the road you are on.

10.- Porsche 918 Spyder: 845.000 dólares (650.000 euros)
9.- SSC Tuatara: 970.000 dólares (746.000 euros)
8.- Hennessey Venom GT: 1 millón de dólares (769.000 euros)
7.- Pagani Huayra: 1,3 millones de dólares (1 millón de euros)
6.- Maybach Landaulet: 1,4 millones de dólares (1,07 millones de euros)
Maybach desaparece en 2013, pero en esta lista aún permanece el espectacular Maybach Landaulet. Deriva del Maybach 62 S y su motor, de procedencia Mercedes-AMG, es el mismo V12 con una potencia de 612 CV. Los disfrutará el chófer, ya que el dueño posiblemente goce más de las vistas del cielo a través de su espectacular techo corredizo, panorámico, y acristalado.
5.- Aston Martin One-77: 1,4 millones de dólares (1,07 millones de euros)
Sólo se fabricarán 77 unidades de este increíble deportivo de Aston Martin. Monta un motor atmosférico 7.3 V12 de 760 CV
4. Koenigsegg Agera R: 1,7 millones de dólares (1,29 millones de euros)
Un coche capaz de hacer moder el polvo a todo un Ferrari merece estar en esta lista. Eso lo consigue este Koenigsegg Agera llevado al límite: Desarrolla 1.115 CV y 1.200 Nm de par y solo pesa 1.330 kilos. El coche es capaz de alcanzar 418 km/h y acelerar de 0 a 100 km/h en menos de tres segundos. Y claro, tener esas prestaciones en el garaje cuesta lo suyo.
3.- Zenvo ST1: 1,8 millones de dólares (1,38 millones de euros)
2.- Ferrari 599XX: 2 millones de dólares (1,53 millones de euros)
La firma del Cavallino Rampante, Ferrari, no podía faltar en este exclusivo listado. Su representante es el 599XX, un deportivo que sólo cuenta con homologación para circular en circuitos. Un completo batallón de soluciones aerodinámicas y un motor V12 6.0 de 700 CV son toda una garantía para disfrutar de su fiereza. Lógicamente, el precio está a la altura de lo ofrecido.
1.- Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: 2,6 millones de dólares (2 millones de euros)
En el primer lugar, destaca el Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, que combina lujo y deportividad. Sus 1.200 CV de potencia bien valen esos dos millones de euros, según el cambio de divisas actual). Sólo las economías más pudientes podrán disfrutar del que es hoy por hoy el coche más rápido del planeta, que tiene el récord del mundo de velocidad con 431 km/h. Alucinante, ¿verdad?
