Le Spider adopterait un hard-top carbone. Encore une innovation de plus face à sa concurrente italienne .....

Un petit aperçu de la version Spider, photos prises à l'usine ... mécanisme équivalent à la 458, double capot, double arche.

ça se précise .... le Spider se dévoile gentillement mais surement. Maintenant le jeu consiste à comprendre le mécanisme du toit, à priori semblable à celui du spider 458. Il semblerait néanmoins que la 12C intègrent des custodes latérales pour une ligne proche du coupé toit fermé.

what you see in the 12C spy photos is 100% unadulterated by Photoshop.

What else do we know about the new McLaren MP4-12C Spyder?

Rather a lot, as it turns out. This prototype is a styling buck without an engine, but its three-piece aluminium and plastic roof (part of which is manufactured by Lotus) is clear to see.

Unlike on Ferrari's 458 Spider, the same 3.8-litre V8 from the McLaren coupe is on view in this roadster. Woking has lowered the plenum cover by 8mm to make space for the roof-folding mechanism and there's a see-through engine cover to show off the powertrain.

CAR's sources suggest the three-piece roof will convert the McLaren 12C from coupe to roadster in around 17 seconds, and will operate at speeds of up to 5mph in case you get caught short at the traffic lights.


So the McLaren roadster isn't a full convertible?

Not really. Our insiders talk of it more like a targa top - those high-rise buttresses mean driver and passenger will be safely cocooned from the elements. They also provide rollover protection; there are no pop-up pyrotechnics in case of an accident.

The new McLaren MP4-12C Spyder is due to be unveiled later in 2012. Expect performance on a par with the coupe; it will share the tin-top's 592bhp and 442lb ft V8, mounted amidships so the baseline figures will shadow its 205mph and 3.3sec 0-60mph times.

Plus de détails sur le Spyder.
Le toit serait en aluminium et non pas en carbone, et l'ouverture plus proche d'une Targa/GTS que d'un Spyder pour maintenir une bonne protection contre le retournement.

Vrai faux ou faux vrai scoop de teamspeed. En tous cas gros photoshop. En plus basée sur les anciennes fuites selon lesquelles elle aurait un toit en carbone qu'elle n'a supposément plus.

Quelques photos du jour, la "mule" continue de tourner. Pour info, le toit rétractable en trois parties est développé par le même fournisseur Allemand qui conçut celui de la 458 Spider : Webasto.

McLaren Automotive has announced its second model, one that will stir the soul even more than its first: the 625PS, twin-turbo V8-engined, open roofed 12C Spider.

The 12C Spider is based on the same super stiff carbon fibre MonoCell chassis as its hardtop sibling and so will be just as dynamic to drive. But removing the roof will dial up the sensations experienced, the emotions felt and the noise heard. Especially at the speeds the 12C Spider will be capable of. And true to McLaren’s ethos of offering high performance without compromise, the 12C Spider will be more usable than any car this exciting has a right to be.
