The McLaren 12C is more than 'just' another supercar - it's a statement of intent. McLaren's coming for its Italian rivals all guns, cylinders and... whatever can blaze blazing. It's better than you'll ever be able to appreciate, too.

too much greyscale, otherwise good vid

@Ubernoob85 10 лет назад

I really like you as a reviewer. You blend technical details and actual review well, and compared to a lot of other reviewers you seem to have a "genuineness" or "innocence" about you that's really refreshing compared to some of Top Gear's reviews, for example. Anyway, you seem to really enjoy what you do, and I wish you all the success in the future.

@givemeajackson 10 лет назад

too bad they replaced the 12 c with the 650s. the 12c was a very good looking car.

@ToxopIasmosis 10 лет назад

650s is much better though...

@NeoFahrenheit 11 лет назад

Where the colors? x_x

@josephtomb01 9 лет назад

Ahh, the MP4-12C. The everyday super car. I love it. Good work Mclaren. Italy should really be scared.

@masteralexdalcompute 9 лет назад

Why? I'm Italian and I'm not scared lol

@bmx687 6 лет назад

I think hes talking about ferrari and lamborghini

@ArunNarasimhan_arun1997107 11 лет назад

That B&W McLaren logo surrounded by water is some of the best video I have ever seen.Well done XCAR.

@Viking445 11 лет назад

I truly love the way this was shot. The tack sharp B&W lends a feel of understated class and then the little splashes of color to draw the eye. Great review and presenter. Awesome job really giving us the history of the car instead of just taking around a track and beating the crap out of it! Two big thumbs up!!! Keep it up!!!

@morganbagert 11 лет назад

The music to engine noise ratio in this video is much better than some of your previous videos. thanks.

@spencer19811 11 лет назад

@XCARFilms Already liked subscribed and shared! It's so good to see proper videos with proper reviews on RU-vid. (Gets boring seeing, "Exhaust note of new Ferrari. Or drag race of 2 cars from years ago we're sick of seeing!") Keep up the good work! Plus that review guy is doing a sterling job!

@andres1000ish 11 лет назад

Despite not having dramatic colours, this review was engaging and informative enough to the point in which half way through, it struck me that I had been watching the whole thing in an epic B&W effect. Well done!

@Tanjhid 9 лет назад

I like the cinematography of xcarfilms and the MP4-12C is beautiful. As a kid I thought the McLaren F1 was really cool so I can say I wanted one as a kid.

@Jason-Jason 5 лет назад

One of the best MP4-12C video's I've seen!

@phattyhales 11 лет назад

Loved the editing! The dropping of most if the color made it look epic!

@LunaCarGirl 9 лет назад

I love that they did the Colour Correction in B&W with selective colour! It is a perfect way to compliment McLaren's Heritage and the reason behind their iconic orange!!!

@Electrobilia 11 лет назад

Nice video. Some great details included and decent photography. Would be great to see more about how the car performs, not just the back story :) Thanks for posting!

@williamlopez45 6 лет назад

Love the Black and White treatment. As always love your writing and delivery.

@aljack1979 7 лет назад

I wasn't a great fan of the looks initially but as time goes by I think that it has aged beautifully and is now one of my favourites. A hyoercar bargain at £115k used.

@Jake497Aruba2 11 лет назад

Amazing video yet again. Loved the editing and the review. Keep Up the good work!

@nindster 11 лет назад

Yet another great review... and beautifully shot!

@d00mch1ld 11 лет назад

These videos are excellent. You get a nugget of history as well as a review of an excellent car.

@Starky513 11 лет назад

You're right, and I would personally take the G as well. All I was saying, is the makers of Ferrari and Lamborghini have definitely taken notice. Imagine that, a mature conversation/debate in the RU-vid comments! :) Glad we had this convo.

@JAYFROMHARLEM 11 лет назад

Love Xcars videos and the editing is top notch

@willg6954 11 лет назад

Really love the music you use in your videos. Where can I find song info?

@BlowItXthe0 11 лет назад

this is one of the most beautiful supercars i have seen yet. and i love those intakes

@paulcug 11 лет назад

Just subscribed and loving some of these videos! Keep up the good work!

@scream198 11 лет назад

Excelent review and great filming. The only thing I didn't like was the excessive use of the B&W. Just a couple of B&W shots would have been better, IMO. Anyway, first video I saw from XCAR but subscrided. Hope you keep up the good quality work.

@sgtspite 5 лет назад

Drove one today for race day, beautiful with buckets of power! would have been nice to give her a name rather than a product code!

@banddude121 11 лет назад

Why does everyone forget to add that you can shift down with the up paddle and you can shift up with the down paddle by pushing rather than pulling?

@TheMontegonian 11 лет назад

There is actually no car that excites me quite as much as the MP4-12C Spyder right now. The Volcano red colour also has a special place in my heart. It will be my first real splurge when I become wealthy.

@Meekina1 11 лет назад

Beautifully shot.. great review

@Aireisor 9 лет назад

Old car but an awesome car review to watch even in 2015

@festerovski 11 лет назад

Love the video, love the review. The gray really adds to the mood. Brilliant!!!

@islandinthesky 11 лет назад

Great review. Xcar, you're doing fantastic work! My only critical thought is regarding the lack of heritage; I see where you're coming from, but regarding their road cars i'd argue that anyone who loved the F1 as a kid has, in fact, been lusting after McLaren since they were yea big (including myself). I sure hope you can get your hands on a P1 to review one day... 5 days until production begins! Heh heh heh.

@roystone9682 11 лет назад

Brilliant vid.I am always happy to see a new vid in my sub box from you guys because you never disappoint me.

@Thurgren 11 лет назад

Nice video, really nice car! Though on the topic of the video, my unprofessional opinion is that there is a bit too much editing. I would like a more watchable vid without angle changes and other fancy stuff every second. Other than that, keep up the great work!

@LDN13Y 11 лет назад

What's the music right at the end which is used ? I love it!

@emrico 11 лет назад

awesome video and presenter, love the 12c. but if you want some constructive criticism i didn't like the black and white + splashes of color. i know color is more difficult to process and to work with but is much more pleasant on videos i think. subscribed though :)

@mahina1963 11 лет назад

What a lucky fookin' bugger you are! Very nice report, right up there with Chris Harris' run. This is my personal favorite.

@spencer19811 11 лет назад

Your videos are absolutely top notch

@Gabriel2.0 11 лет назад

@pipwicky 11 лет назад

The color editing is very nice, even on 1080 though for some reason youtube is showing a very low quality picture. Very blocky. Nice video.

@bhjoaopaulo 9 лет назад

what is the name of the background music in 1 minute?

@JWard2 11 лет назад

Where did they get the music around the 7:30 Mark?

@killertaxi100 11 лет назад

Top marks to McLaren for offering the upgrades free of charge to earlier model vehicles! I don't think you'd find any of McLarens competitors doing this.

@darek4488 11 лет назад

Since you have mentioned that in this video. Please make a video on Ford Escort RS Cosworth.

@gcswift2 11 лет назад

Its not the heritage that give the other manufacturers "soul". It is that the 12c feels almost digital. As if they let the engineers from Forza and Polyphony tell them what the car should feel like. This is not to say the 12c isn't a breathtaking accomplishment, but if I put you into my nearly 20 yr old 355, you'd understand that you really prefer analog

@theblackopslegend1 11 лет назад

I grew up having the Mclaren f1 being my dream car. This car crushed the name for me. It stands for everything that I dislike in modern super cars. Manufacturers stopped the ideology of trying to put the fastest engine, a chassis, and you together as if you were one. I feel as though they stopped producing for the enthusiasts, and started doing it for the high ranking executives in a business. The Mclaren seems nothing more then technology. No skill, no challenge. The Noble M600, is the opposite

@me201377 11 лет назад

If your first try with your 'entry level' car in your line up can pretty much blow away anything else on planet earth on the track then you know McLaren have the right minds, the right brand, and are pointed in the right direction. Ferrari has been making cars for over 50 years and had has been refining their brand. If McLaren are making cars this good after only 2 years they're definitely on track. They are only going to get better as they tweak and refine their product. Love McLaren cars.

@trinisuprazee 11 лет назад

your points are well taken however, your missing a key essential point that is the emotional connection to the other two cars. No one (at least that I know) will deny the MP4 is as good as you say it is and better than the other two but it does not get you 1/8 as exciting as the others. For that i'd take the G.

@6000cortes 11 лет назад

how do you guys get your hands on these cars?!

@n9athan 11 лет назад

2. Would bet with 90% certainty if Ferrari were in McLarens place they would charge or just not update the older cars at all.

@ampark09 11 лет назад

what's the engine from the intro??? i swear that sound is fucking heaven

@TheNinjappa 11 лет назад

You have some great reviews but you should really write" review" in your video titels. If you search for "McLaren MP4-12C review" I dint found you And channel deserves more subscribers

@GustheSig 11 лет назад

I enjoyed how you practically broke down to soul = tradition and heritage. If a brand has a certain heritage, then that is the soul of its current products. I agree with what you said about McLaren: they don't have as extensive of a heritage as the Italian brands, but that doesn't mean that McLaren is worse. I think McLaren is top notch; the best of the best. I find most Italian manufacturers overrated and in-love with their own heritage.

@icecreambiscuit4689 10 лет назад

i just want some colours come on!

@JSoulstorm 11 лет назад

There's something about the 12C that turns me off. Overall, I'd rather an R8 V10, 911, or even a GT-R. It's still one hell of a car though.

@Starky513 11 лет назад

Why would you say that? This is faster than a Gallardo and a 458 Italia, provides a better ride quality than both, and goes around corners faster as well. Don't get me wrong I love all 3, I'm just saying.

@SlipknotMaggot0526 11 лет назад

The camera work looks like it is top gear UK.

@nbrigdan 11 лет назад

Your last sentence is all the proof I needed that you were a GT-R fanboy. Go look at some numbers on the internet and be happy, I'd rather actually get a special feeling from driving the car.

@VictorySpecification 11 лет назад

matte black paint, matte black rims, red calipers = BEAUTY!

@ehchutechute 11 лет назад

What colour was it?

@radeofff 11 лет назад

7.28 - the face and brake caliper is in colors. Don't say video is monochromic.

@nbrigdan 11 лет назад

Right.... I love all those beautiful Japanese hyper cars... oh wait... And this is coming from someone who loves the NSX, but Japan hasn't been in the game since that car first came out. GT-R is a numbers car, not even comparable to the NSX and the leaps forward it made for the supercar world.

@Avin252 11 лет назад

I don't think Italy should be scared of this. The McLaren is a good car but it just isn't as exciting as the Ferrari 458 in my opinion. Having driven both cars the Ferrari makes you excited and sings you. I know on the track the McLaren is the faster and better car but in every intangible way the Ferrari makes you feel amazing. Nonetheless, they are both great cars but I guess the final opinion goes to the person who is sat behind the wheel of each.

@TimHarrisandJulieHarris 11 лет назад

I want to hire your video guy...epic.

@em34ev3r 11 лет назад

My first sentence was worded horribly? ummm ok...Also I find it hilarious you think the NSX was the first usable super car. Does Porsche ring a bell? Yes the NSX were more reliable and usable than the Ferraris of the time, but no, it was not the first DD supercar, if you could even call it that.

@em34ev3r 11 лет назад

What exactly did the NSX do? First all aluminum body? Mid engine VTEC, big deal. The old Porsche 911's were wiping the floor with those back in the day. The GTR set a whole fucking standard for the performance car world. It has put nearly every single fucking car company on notice.

@QrayzHD 11 лет назад

Here in oz you can get a brand new 12C for $200,000 less then the 458 and the 12C is better in every way so yes Italy should be worried because Mclaren actually care about their customers GOOD DAY.... : )

@levans6824 11 лет назад

Great Vid! Subscribed!

@Lukeskywanka 11 лет назад

Agree with Viking445 very nice review

@HostileHST 11 лет назад

Dang, didn't even notice that till you said something, had to replay it. And my eye doctor says I'm not color blind. Perhaps he should have said I have an over active imagination.

@thebitmovies 11 лет назад

Why is it in black & white?

@matthewmilton191 11 лет назад

McLaren has got a good heritage. Its won more grands prix than any other Formula 1 team. Otherwise good video

@giuliotoffano4763 3 года назад

Short answer: yes! And they did change

@Mladjasmilic 11 лет назад

Great film !

@EzzyMo 11 лет назад

Italy afraid of this? Naw. This is a car for people who value engineering and precision over panache and presence. It may very well be a bit faster than a 458 but it lacks the looks.

@Xempt_One 11 лет назад

forgot to mention this beast is a 7 speed

@EwokEight 9 лет назад

Really prefer the look of this one over the 650S, too bad the 650S is better :P

@KarpKomet 11 лет назад

Wow' good stuff. Like the black and white.

@CyrilRebusquillo 11 лет назад

McLaren was great, and forever will be great in this industry.

@nbrigdan 11 лет назад

(no response to my quip about subjective, but that's alright and also the the cars I own) Would you care to tell of the first every day super car the porsche made? I'd love to hear ALL about it. Because the carrera isn't a supercar, and even the turbo's were not really competitors to the ferraris and lambos of the day. What was the first DD supercar then? Because I will maintain it was the NSX, and it's spiritual successor is the R8.

@samuelmarshall100 11 лет назад

@Braselton21 9 лет назад

Love this car:D but the Mclaren 650s will make you feel depressed for getting a 12c

@imnotanead 11 лет назад

i like the color idea but not for a full episode

@aztecpapi123 11 лет назад

The british know how to review cars. Nice job guys! :D

@kautzy1 11 лет назад

this is spartaah! but should italy be scared? italy maybe... ferrari in particular? not really. just a matter of personal taste.

@treypeck8370 9 лет назад

After hearing it, all I can think of is two Honda K20's bolted together. Before you bash me, go listen to a boosted K20 then come back to it.

@wendynapier765 9 лет назад

Hahaha

@AruEsse 11 лет назад

Why should we be scared? We should be happy instead! The more supercars out there the better!!!

@445CR 11 лет назад

I must admit I am not a fan of this car. There is only really one competitor to the 12C and that's the F458. The Gallardo is simply too old now to be in the same class. Weighing up the 12C and the F458 is actually pretty easy I think. Everyone always quotes numbers, which is a total waste of time because hardly anyone is ever going to be able to exploit the performance of either. So you have to go on looks and how the car feels (aka, stirs your soul). For me, it has to be the Ferrari. No doubt.

@DIYProjectX 10 лет назад

Black and white, really?? Cool at the biginning, but througuout the entire video?? That was a mistake !! Hated it !!

@LunaCarGirl 9 лет назад

+KedlubenX the B&W is a way of remembering and respecting McLaren's racing heritage. If you do not know why McLaren's iconic colour is Orange I highly suggest you learn why.

@DIYProjectX 9 лет назад

+Luna Magazine I do know about McLaren heritage and the color behind it. Is that a reason to ruin the film? For me it is not.

@BLITZKRIEG1 11 лет назад

Yes it should

@ForOnlyGamersHD 11 лет назад

its a bit weird to say that this isn't a good video because it definitely is a good one (just like the others), but i think the color correcting is a bit to much black and white. just sayin :)

@sripathykiran 11 лет назад

Check your facts!

@petejwill2650 11 лет назад

good review :)

@QiuyuanChenRyan916 11 лет назад

Just a different British design, but not comparable with Ferrari. Because it is like NASCAR VS F1, two totally diffferent stand point.

@WilliamTECH1991 11 лет назад

A couple of shots in B&W it's good, but this one... It just seems you run out of color... I think this one doesn't have the XCAR standard... Was hoping for a bit more with this car...
