Seems like a Gallardo/458/911 Turbo opponent. Typically McLaren, uses carbon chassis and more sophisticated solutions than the competition.
Should not be compared to the F1 in any way.
If this is the mid-range McLaren, what are they going to do with the top of the range? These chaps always amaze us....
BTW... What's with the name? What does it mean anyway? Did they have a 12B???? Name is the only flaw of the car. But it's a nice mail password....
