F1 Tech in a Road Legal Body & the Ride of Her Majesty’s Service

Sprinkled on top of the fan-favorite returning cars and features, we created a Festival Playlist filled with 8 new top-of-the-line racers including the fastest exotics in the world and a couple of classics every car fan should own.

From the same minds that created prolific F1 racers comes the 2011 McLaren 12C Coupé; a road-legal car built with Formula 1 technology throughout. Everything from its Carbon MonoCell to the steer-braking system are proof of its racing pedigree.

However, the biggest evidence that this car was made by racing experts resides in the engine fitted in the car. The genius twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 has 80% of its torque available in as low as 2000 RPM and was able to produce 616 bhp on the 12C.


Get ready to customize a racing purebred for 20 PTS from January 4 until January 11 on the first week of Community Choice’s Festival Playlist.
