McLaren 12C long term test: Part 3 | evo DIARIES

[@marioricketts936]

Really...He was the main reason I watched Evo TV. Sad news this is. Thank you Sir Harry.

[@emrico]

i love these 12c videos, keep them coming please

[@ENZOSTAFFORD113]

Mr Trott what is better the 12C or the red AX that you had when you where working MAX POWER? MAX POWER magazine needs to return as well as REDLINE magazine.

[@MarcoF430]

have you changed the rear spoiler and the gear leavers? In the first episode you Mac has a body-colour spoiler and small grey leavers....now the spoiler is carbon, so are the leavers, which are now slightly bigger, almost 458 like

[@sulaymaananverbham1220]

You've selected 1st gear. Are the other gears automatically changed (in launch mode) ??

[@cookiecat168]

The spoiler is orange in part 1 of this series. The plates seem to be the same so assuming it's the same car, did McLaren take the car back since the first video and do some upgrades? Great video too.

[@ventedbonnet9095]

Please mention the 12C's precog feature for street use. Is it any more usable on the street than a circuit or vise versa?

[@freeskithecoe]

Can the gear shift paddles be pushed either way, as in, if you pushed the right hand paddle forwards instead of pulling it, will the car downshift?? I notice that both paddles move when one is pulled, are both paddles in fact one piece of carbon

[@ianrkav]

Does it matter what positions the powertrain/handling dials are in when you press the launch control button?

[@curtr9]

Do the doors effect parking?? They look like they make parking say in a multi story car park or normal car park difficult to open

[@swein1992]

I wonder if the 12c has clutch durability problems like the GTR which burns the clutch over after a few launch controls...

[@Navy1348]

Loving these 12C update videos so much. Gonna miss Harry though

[@asmendoncadaniel]

How about parking manouvers? How's the visibility?

[@jbbbbbbbb]

Is there only a certain amount of times you can use it, like on the GT-R?

[@proggyjoe]

The wheels on this car are phenomenally beautiful

[@shrewsnose1]

I'm loving these little vids. Keep em up kid

[@Bugster987]

How does launch control compare with a non launch fast start?

[@lamborico]

It was changed to the carbon one. Was mentioned in Fast Fleet.

[@minibus1351]

where did harry go instead? Different magazine?

[@MuIqHa93]

I want to see a video where the 12C maneuvers around town. Getting into a multi storey parking, going over speedbumps and stuff like that.

[@markusas3]

What does launch control have to do with a long term test?

[@deever841]

For the person asking about the doors: side clearance is no problem at all (regular doors require more space). But the doors do go up fairly high, and I have had to move before because I didn't have enough clearance above me.

[@chimaeraSPK]

I can't afford this car and I won't be able to unless I win the Lotto, but I've always wondered if a 12C owner is able to park this car next to other cars in a parking lot. Or do you have to give yourself enough space due to how the doors open?

[@7eis]

Tell us how the spoiler went from orange to carbon fibre, please.

[@retroecho]

Does using launch control invalidate your warranty?

[@roletnabih]

so it auto upshifts when in launch control?

[@silat13]

Keep them coming Nick.

[@s7efan90]

You should do a POV long video on a great UK road. You can place the camera on your head or on your left window or even on the center. I think that would be a great great video to see an easy and a fast drive with this gorgeous car :). Thanks.

[@Jamdown187]

Part 1 was uploaded months ago mate, roughly the beginning of this year or end of last.

[@cars_and_coffee_by_bruno]

exactly.... it should always be on. just hold the brake pedal, floor it and the car activated the LC... how hard would that be?

[@cabrioletcarrera]

What kind of shoes is Nick Trott wearing?

[@Caplax40]

Does it not rev all the way to redline when launched?

[@MiyuruWeerarathna]

Many people have looked over this as a nerdy supercar, but I still think that this must be one of the best all round everyday super cars in the world!

[@DarthMando90]

so glad I got to test drive this. :)

[@demosnipe1589]

Could you do this long term test with La Ferrari, please.

[@steffydog]

Btw is that your only set of clothes and shoes?

[@xxxreptilianxxx]

Is that a reliable source?

[@GrotrianSeiler]

This video exists already. You just have to find the one where Chris Harris tests it in all kinds of settings. It's actually very informative. Done.

[@TheRoggan123]

Cool! :) It sounds really nice and the shifts are insanely fast!!

[@TheBIGJake111]

do you know where he is going... he is the main reason i follow evo?

[@stucruise1]

Is the car any good for dogging?

[@spokismyfriend]

love it. you guys should do this with other cars here and there. maybe a bugatti aventador koenigsegg etc.

[@nerdglider]

really nice bit of tech on that car

[@robjla1]

Please show us how to turn off traction control and do some drifting and finish off the tires doing doughnuts

[@chillout1109]

This series of videos were shot on the same day with the same car. They are just being posted in small bites at different times. The biggest give away are Nick's clothes - the same clothes and shoes in all the videos.

[@robjla1]

I like this guy more and more.

[@bhuuthesecond]

I liked the nerdy stuff. Its amazing how this car reached 60mph then 120mph so quickly.

[@spencerda1anonly]

Why does it say part 3 if it's part 2?

[@TheSexybacks]

I hope we have more videos and others cars , like this one !!!!!

[@JayBlue9]

:O I didn't know he was leaving! Do we know the reasons?

[@SolarTideVibes]

Really like these I'm depth reviews. Keep it up!

[@PatrickRW99]

sadly i haven't got that info...

[@deancostello14]

This is the nerdiest supercar video I've ever seen. I love it.

[@herpdadurrp]

***** the 12C is one of the most well built, amazing engineered supercars right now. it has a carbon tub, and will destroy practically anything sub $1,000,000 in a drag race and most others on the track. there have been many tests at top speeds over 200, and not one report of "falling into a pile of trash". just curious, what cars do you think are well built and better than the 12C? i really hope the word Ferrari doesnt come out of your keyboard.

[@spokismyfriend]

your opinion so i respect it. but i personally like the humor, its a change from just number cramming and what not which makes me feel like im back in school

[@geforce5700fx]

top gear ?

[@Funkyboozer]

My bugbear with launch control is by the time you've pressed all the buttons to set it up the lights have changed and the other car has disappeared.

[@hlad11]

Did the MP4 in the first video have a colour matched rear wing, I can't remember. In this video it's carbon fibre. Sorry for being off topic folks and farewell to Harry Metclafe from me too, I grew up drooling over your Zonda in EVO print, shall be missed!

[@nicolasrivera5310]

Love this videos!!! thank you very much!!!!

[@TheNerdProblems]

I really want to see a 12c vs aventador

[@hunghuge12]

Do a vid like this one then. I want to see if it works as well.

[@SimRacingPakistan]

Wow, already ep 3 and I just finish commenting on ep 2.

[@SaganNotPagan]

Chris Harris does a short in town review, it's supposed to be very good as a daily driver.

[@MiguelMenendezlife]

The new one is gorgeous

[@robviously-rob0ts]

Is it weird that I memorized how to use launch control even though I'll not likely ever drive one of these? Steering wheel straight, depress brake, first gear, press active button then launch button, step on the gas and it'll go to 3000rmp, release brake. I can't even remember most people's names! haha

[@PatrickRW99]

I know that this has nothing to do with the video, but I would like to say farewell to Mr Harry Metclafe as he is leaving the magazine and would like to wish him all the best for his future

[@Oimbubi]

Interesting and funny, good video!!!

[@terrysky83]

McLaren really is the pride of Great Britain.

[@loucosporcarros9535]

bela maquina

[@evoermine]

Disagree. These videos show the cars in detail, and personally I like emersing myself in the dream of the ownership experience. It's as close as I'll ever get to owning one so it's nice to see the stuff that you obviously find boring, such as the manual instructions for launch control.

[@thevinceberry]

Now I know how to use launch control on my 12C...in my dreams

[@dustbowl19311939]

I hope Harry will make his own videos.

[@imCamberr]

Chris Harris did that a long time ago.

[@briancenti5423]

lolol..he reminds me so much of CONAN O'BRIEN...awesome video...this was excellent.

[@romaincorre2900]

How do you do to respect speed limits if you reach them in less than 5 seconds you can never accelerate during more than few seconds!

[@tjmcculley9408]

you should race it vs the ferrari 458

[@DDGB08]

best part of this video is ofcouse at the end.

[@someusername121]

Jesus that thing PULLS.

[@MrPTManning]

Well said my friend. But I don't think you should limit yourself in life and say that you'll never own a supercar yourself. Personally, I've decided that I WILL own my dream car someday, no matter what it takes (within reason of course). You should do the same, since you're obviously a true enthusiast like myself.

[@krocialblack]

So apparently Connan O'Brien is reviewing cars now. And developed a British accent.

[@freddeanTube]

looks like where Shmee150 did his launch control.

[@daniate839]

it is probably impresive , hes right

[@AbdulAziz348]

my elantra has launch control ... :'(

[@jamescutter8760]

Why don't you take a trip to cornwall. Go on you know you want to :)

[@TheCanadianCyclist]

Things that go vroom....

[@renell]

Is this Conan Obrien's brother?

[@khizarmuhammad8991]

a couple of things i would like to point out, first of all that 747 has no engines. And second, air force one is a call sign, not an airplane.

[@Staayreal]

It's funny how he's acting like he's never used the launch control in all the time he's had it hahah

[@asmendoncadaniel]

that's how you impress your neighbours every day...

[@newmotoring]

"How to Drift a 12C" please.

[@peanuts2105]

McLaren - The science of speed

[@Yogobogo]

Maybe it is used for training by police and emergency teams?

[@HENRYHOBBS1]

That is one fast car!

[@cn009]

hahaha, feels like he's doing a pre-flight checklist

[@j606ywt]

How quick!!!!

[@ross46x]

Like this sort of vid

[@ottoschnell]

Tracton Control light still flashing at 150 mph!

[@hejmuesli]

nice!

[@srbmckenzie]

Yes, he had some carbon bling fitted (about £18k worth!!!)

[@Doggepp]

Well, just go and look in the video?
