Here another video from my special week-end spent in Monaco last Summer. Monaco is for sure the Carspotting Heaven, because you can see over one hundred supercars and hypercars in a single day without losing the opportuniy to visit this wonderful city located on the beautiful French Riviera.

The heart of the city, and "The Mecca" for every guy who likes automotive world, is certainly the CASINO SQUARE where there are the mythic Casino de Monte-Carlo and the HOTEL THE PARIS. This places, for the monegasque PLACE DU CASINO, attract the best cars and hypercars of the world making you time spent there unforgettable.

In this video a stunning yellow McLaren MP4-12C Spider with german driving licence plate parked near the Casino giving me the possibility to film it in each detail like rims, engine, interior, the logo and the roof.

The McLaren MP4-12C is a british supercar produced by the manufacturer of Woking, England since 2011 to be the first supercar after the legend McLaren F1.

The car takes its name from an idea of Ron Dennis, who decided to call it like the successful McLaren MP4-12 that took part at the 1997 Formula 1 Championship, and where the "C" stands for Carbon.

Unveiled for the first time at the 2011 Geneva Auto Show, indeed the McLaren 12C features a carbon fiber chassis with a 3.8 litre V8 twin-turbo engine in mid-position, which develops 592 hp and a max torque of 601 Nm for great performance: only 3,3 seconds from 0 to 100 Km/h and a top speed of over 330 Km/h.

From the F1 the 12C takes many technologies like such as the brake steer and the 7-speed dual-clutch trasmission at the top of its category. The design is from Frank Stephenson, an american designer already father of cars like the Ferrari F430, the Maserati MC12 and Maserati Quattroporte.

Since July 2012 McLaren produces a convertible version with a retractable hardtop, the McLaren MP4-12 Spider. The 12C Spider weights only 40 Kg more than the coupe, with performance so close to the normal one.

The same year McLaren unveiled a limited edition of five units named McLaren MP4-12C HS, where HS stands for Hight Sport, sold to Mc's owners only. The engine has a power increase of 85 hp and each car presents a special paint: Pearl white, McLaren Orange (Jenson Button's one), Volcano Orange and Sapphire Black.

To take part to the FIA GT3 Championship, they launched the MP4-12C GT3 with less power of the road car, 493 hp ad a new bespoke six-speed gearbox. Based on the GT3, at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance was unveiled a track-only version named 12C Can-AM and powered with 630 hp.

The production of the MP4-12C ends in 2014, when they announced the new McLaren 650S.

Complete walk around with each detail like interior, wheels, engine, logo and lights.
