Chassis: XP10
Of the experimental prototypes (XP), several examples were used for the initial road testing of all systems. Chassis XP10 is one of these and in the process clocked up many miles. It made a rare public appearance at the 2010 Goodwood Press Preview in March. On that same day the MP4-12C program was officially launched to the press at the McLaren Technology Centre. XP10 was driven up the hill by McLaren's principle test driver Chris Goodwin. He explained us that it was quite a change from the Formula 1 cars he usually drives for McLaren at Goodwood. The MP4-12C is almost as quick but far more comfortable and easy to drive.
