The McLaren MP4-12C


First off, catchy name (sarcasm present of course). Now, McLaren haven't made many road cars. In fact, there's the F1 and the Mercedes SLR. That's about it. Now, though, they've got a new one out with the catchiest title in a while: MP4-12C. Of course, you can sense my sarcasm there because it is a terrible name, even worse than Windows Phone 7 Series. This new car by McLaren is a 200mph monster! It has WiFi built in as well, so, it's the fastest WiFi hotspot in the world! McLaren  are pretty obsessed with weight, using Magnesium instead of Steel to save 4kg. They even went as far as to introduce a "5%" rule, where the engineers have to make the lightest best car and then shave its weight by 5%. However, the heaviest part of it is the 6.1 litre V12 engine rocking out enormous power catapulting the car to over 200mph. The car is expected to be around £150000, so you're going to need to be either Lewis Hamilton or Jenson Button to own one.
