McLaren has given the world a better look at its [MP4-12C Spider](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mp4-12c spider) with a new video and a brace of photographs. The clip shows off some of the convertible’s innards before dropping the retractable hardtop in real time. It takes just 17 seconds for the two-piece top to stow itself behind the seats with the car rolling contentedly down the track. As you might expect, it doesn’t take long for the test driver to lay into the 616-horsepower twin-turbo V8 engine, frolicking sideways and lighting the rear tires on fire.
While we could do without the overly dramatic background music, we’ll certainly never turn down an excuse to watch the Formula One-inspired supercar prance around in its native habitat. There’s certainly plenty to love about the MP4-12C Spyder, but if you like it enough to make it yours, you’ll need to scratch together $265,750 in a hurry. Check out the full video for yourself below as well as a brief press release.Continue reading McLaren opens up a bit about new MP4-12C Spider
