Everything we’ve learned from the 12C and the McLaren P1 has gone into this car, creating a car with the widest breadth of capabilities of any production supercar. It’s also a new benchmark in pure driving excitement.”
Inside, it's equipped with satnav, Bluetooth, digital radio (Europe), audio streaming and voice controls and leather trim. Optional extras include fixed-back carbon fibred race seats (based on those found in the McLaren P1), power-adjustable steering column , reversing camera and carbon fibred trim.
