I've heard people saying that the 720s just because it's fast in a straight line it's hopeless on a track! Circuit racing and everything that goes along with that is where mclaren has all its knowledge! They would never build a car that's only good in a straight line and a disaster in the corners! If that ever happened it would go back to the drawing board when it's being tested! The amazing straight line speed they all have is a added bonus and not what defines a mclaren sports car

Exactly!!! The power steering pump going out, putting metal shavings in the lines and since the suspension is connected to the power steering lines, it all needed replacing. Rob's video is a good lesson on if it seems to good to be true, there is always a reason for it.

[@fordgt2659]

Steve LaForce exactly

[@MotordyneG35]

Fair point......but let's be real, how can you be hard on your power steering? So hard on it, that it ruins your suspension? Everything with moving parts will eventually fail, so that g37 you have had for 7 years, I bet it will be more reliable than the MP4-12c you recently bought. A suspension being connected to the power steering system, all running on the same fluid, is nuts. That would be the first fluid change I would do then, if I were you.

[@jmoe2060]

Not knowing much about F1, I used to think of McLaren as a "start-up" as well before watching the 2014 BBC documentary on the company and it's ramp up to the production of the MP4-12C. Their factory is itself a work of art and their dedication to their craft quite impressive.

An MP4/4... what did he use to win the world championship in 1990? An MP4/5b.

You are 100% correct, The "MP4 - ____, it stands for McLaren Project 4, it comes from the time when Ron Dennis took over McLaren and he had been working on his own cars at the time and they were called "Project 4", he wanted to keep his moniker of "Project 4",....so the 2 names were combined and the initials of this combination are "MP4", Doug you should have done a small amount of research and discovered this out for yourself and then you'd looked informed and not someone who is looking for excuses to slam the 12C and those silly Brits, so try saying the 12C,,...come on Doug, you can do better than this...Thank you AdrenalineJunkieXL

[@justinmccord3829]

I'm pretty sure the fact that Ron Dennis has 2 first names has something to do with this debacle.

[@martyndyson9501]

Meaning to those in the know yes 10/10, catchy for the other 95% of the population not in the know 1/10, trying to explain that to an ordinary person why it's got that name 0/10! Thanks for telling me the reason behind the choice of name but you can't deny it's a poor choice in the grand scheme of designating a name to a car that gives it more of a soul a presence something they can remember quickly especially for people who don't even know what F1 is never mind senna and which car he won in! They could have used the name senna then!

Let's be honest though, how many people who have the money to buy one of these are going to know or care? "MP4-12C" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue either no matter how much you appreciate the significance of it, and calling it just "MP4" shorthand will probably get people who don't know what it means to respect your car.

[@osamaFXX]

The name is so dumb. more like Canon MP4-12C Laser printer.

[@llavero5]

Because you dont know whats mean, this have sense when MP4 is the name chasis for formula 1 mclaren cars, "Mclaren Project 4" the 12 is for a Mclaren index of performance, and the C is "carbon", this is usefull name, not marketing. Dumb can be the names when Lamborghini use the name of Spain bulls for put in his models.

[@osamaFXX]

I think having a car with a brave bull's name is much better than a collection of letters and numbers that represent the sequel for the project. super cars are meant to be personal and alive this is why almost all of them have catchy names.

[@llavero5]

Yeah, thats true too, bull names for his logo is cool, anyway im spanish and dont know any bull name, i only say Mclaren dont put random numbers and letters.

[@davidcunetta4081]

[@pimparoojr.7524]

David Cunetta F1 is boring, people hardly even pass one another. Rallying is where it's at

[@davidbresnahan5986]

David Cunetta McLaren Automotive, the road car division, was a startup. The Automotive and racing teams operate independently of each other. McLaren trademarked McLaren Automotive in 2010, which is where the road division was created. Their first car was the 12c. McLaren Automotive was a start-up branch of McLaren. Doug was right.

[@poppyneese1811]

She's another Beautiful Britt. My first car Love was an old MGB, sitting behind a Dodge dealer, on my way home walking from work after midnight, dish washer at Shoneys I'd sneak open the door and sit in about an hour, just shifting through the gears and imagining she was mine. One night I was headed to sit in her after work and she was gone never to see her again. Even now 40 years later when I see an MGB go up the road I can't help but watch till she's gone. Still go crazy, Paul Davis was so right!

[@markostojic8750]

Doug is over-exaggerating about getting in and out of the car. I have done it myself and i can tell you he is both getting in and out on the weirdest way possible he is making it hard for himself not because it actually is hard rather because he as mentioned is doing it wrong.

Doug! you weren't expecting a brilliant transmission from a company that builds F1 cars??

[@matthewrowan6452]

Doug, McLaren is not a startup in anyway really. They have deep pockets, decades of racing experience, and the attention to detail and quality that makes a Ferrari look like a kit car. It comes as no surprise to the rest of the automotive world that McLaren can produce a car like this - it is expected from them. They earned their spot among marque badges 20 years ago. Address them with some respect.

[@techbuildspcs]

Matthew Rowan Yeah I just heard him say the startup segment. I have to say I was surprised.

[@Zeenithian]

Matthew Rowan if you even care, they are a startup. Mclaren Automotive started recently. Mclaren Technology was the F1 team and the one that made the F1.

Because it is a startup in road production vehicles. They had only made one failed attempted to be a streetcar manufacturer TWENTY years prior to that point, and that's their first one after that, so a clear startup by every definition.

Young Wu Chun actually the McLaren automotive and racing teams are separate divisions operating independently of each other.
