McLaren is allegedly working on a more powerful and lighter version of the 12C to better compete with Ferrari’s new 458 Speciale. Planned to come out later this year, the hardcore 12C is tipped to be quicker than the 458 Speciale and will make use of an improved version of the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine with an output estimated at 650 HP (478 kW). It will utilize the same carbon fiber MonoCell as the regular 12C and will be offered as standard with carbon-ceramic brakes.
