I say this so often on American car videos. It's not that the British or other euro car manufacturers are under quoting their power figures, its that in the USA your measurement of bhp is slightly different to ours. If we put it on a rolling road in the UK, it would show what we expect. If you put it on one in the USA it will show a higher value. The difference is usually that our engine power equates to what you guys would quote at the wheels. This runs true for this car, hondas, bmws and even in the tuning scene we see the difference with the exact same kits on the same cars. Love thos car though
Was a passenger in an mc12 last Friday 19/05/2023 I’ve sold the 911 and looking at 1 of 2 to replace it with. I’m watching literally every mc12 review on you tube , I’m aware of the electrical glitches on some. The car I was out in was a fellow member of a car club I was in with the 911, who kindly offered to show me round the car and discussed what I need to look for if I purchase, after all they are now a 12 year old car! The look, the sound and especially the performance …mind blowing.
It's a great car, isn't it? Loved the comments about the doors etc. I made a film about the MP4-12C and interviewed the designer Frank Stephenson. He talks about the doors and much more in the movie. If anyone wants to see it, here's a link: ruclips.net/video/BhnitGOMfug/видео.html
Thanks, this was good & considering I want move up to MC-12 from my Turbo Porsche, this video really gave me some more feedback..Im literally gona go see Volcano Orange car at local dealer For alittle over the $100k, which means with Porsches so expensive now, if I sell its almost straight across deal, maybe $10k difference, thanks again for video🎸
You keep emphasising the speed of this car YET your viewers CANNOT experience that because the cameras are constantly pointing at YOU …. YES introduce yourself BUT us as viewers want to feel we are sitting next to you looking out experiencing the acceleration of this car……
Iv'e had my 2013 12c Spider for 4 years it's done 27000 miles so for with no issues, so much better than the Ferrari 458 I had before.
Install the soft close on the doors. Makes a big difference.
Saves you from damaging the controls on the doors.

Gotcha that makes sense, thanks for clearing that up. I hate that we do so many things differently lol

Oh that's awesome! Definitely do it if you can. Amazing performance and ride quality. Thanks for watching!
Make sure you have a pre-purchase inspection carried out by someone who knows the cars. Also watch ThornyMotorsport from the UK
