The British car maker has had a great year so far and with the launch of their latest 650S, they have gotten a tremendous response from the world. The 650S will undoubtedly be the best selling model from McLaren, and the car maker is already prepping their factory to keep up with the demand. However, because there is such a great demand for the 650S, and also because it is more affordable, the legendary super car maker has decided to stop production of their flagship 12C model.
Mike Flett, CEO McLaren Automotive said, “After three years of 12C production, this represents a natural evolution of our model line-up. I want to assure you that McLaren remains dedicated to customer satisfaction and that we care about the ownership experience of every car we’ve ever sold.”
The company will be offering a package of upgrades for current 12C owners and this includes a new Active Aero software which will allow your 12C’s existing Airbrake to ‘sense’ different driving scenarios, deploying to improve stability when lifting off the throttle or cresting a hill – this is in addition to the usual Airbrake position under heavy braking. The new system also includes a DRS (Drag Reduction System) mode which lowers the wing when driving at speed in a straight line, improving high-speed aerodynamics.
