2010 McLaren MP4-12C

 2010 McLaren MP4 12C

McLaren Automotive today launched the first in a series of short videos of broadcast quality, which provides a rare insight into the performance car testing program from the development team behind the new McLaren MP4-12C.

As a new car company, McLaren Automotive has a unique story and interesting to tell before the first model will be sold in spring 2011. Meanwhile, 2009′s intense testing and development program clearly demonstrate the potential of 12C and McLaren Automotive is a company that provides a rare record and insights that reveal plans, processes and challenges.

In a short film called ‘Inside McLaren: MP4-12C develop’, viewers take the first step to understanding how the McLaren Automotive will meet the ambitions to launch the MP4-12C as a genuine challenger to the world’s best high performance sports car. Highlights include:
* An introduction to the McLaren Technology Center (MTC) and MP4-12C test program by McLaren Automotive Technical Director, Dick Glover
* Chief Test Driver Chris Goodwin on how to 12C in the test under extreme conditions
* A summary of the senior engineers from developing an integrated approach roads and tracks around the world and, practically, back in the MTC
* 12C development (XP) prototype on the road and track in the UK and Germany, and extreme hot weather testing in Bahrain

A challenging and comprehensive development program has taken on some of the world’s most famous car racing circuit’s most inhospitable environments, from dry and cold, ice and snow the North Pole, for the hot and humid, the air wet-sand the Middle – East.

Combined with cutting-edge simulation program, the Formula 1 technical, personnel and processes, and thousands of miles from the ‘real world’ on-road driving in the UK is known poor asphalt surface, a close review team has taken giant steps in development through 2009 is 12C . The result is a ‘pure’ McLaren: a revolutionary high-performance sports car featuring a unique engineering solution to provide a new standard in comfort, driving dynamics, economy and performance in the ‘core’ * sports car market.

Having developed a variety of brand new car from scratch with the standards expected of McLaren, the ground-breaking show of new structures and powertrain is a major challenge, 12C able to push in 2010 and delivered to the McLaren car will be really proud.

The results of the test session’s road and track performance quickly assessed in the MTC. Simulation and engineering practices quickly – two core aspects of a successful Formula 1 team – and then re-used to calibrate the XP car in-situ tests are ready for the next day, or night, the target of development.

Chris Goodwin, a professional racer and chief test driver at McLaren Automotive, self-imposed pressure to conclude the development team: “McLaren are always set myself high standards. We are the most successful ever motor racing team, we design and build one of the world’s most icons sports car in the world in the McLaren F1, and pioneered the development of carbon fiber on race and road cars.

“We take these standards into the development program for MP4-12C to launch high-performance sports car compared to the past achievements and offers new levels of performance for the future. For us, this target is only a starting point and attitude development needs of the most comprehensive possible. We believe that our global test provides measures to 12C extraordinary. “

Other highlights:
* Simon Andrew (Vehicle Development Engineer) sends back a detailed daily report of all test sessions for McLaren Automotive personnel in various functions, not just another member of his team. This ensures that the full company engineers, designers and management can contribute their experiences.
* Rob Tyers is one of many team members were introduced by McLaren Racing division, bringing their experience in making quick decisions in a highly competitive environment for the bears who traditionally slow-industry. No other car company in the world and experiences offer a combination of motorcycle and car racing, road construction personnel under one roof.
* McLaren Automotive has developed a unique program that was inspired by the rapid development requirements of Formula 1. This unites the entire development team in one place for a period of up to two weeks. Major step obtained during this period of intense testing for all systems stretched to the limit of the car they were in combination and as a whole, not piece by piece in a sequence.
