McLaren has revealed the pricing for its new MP4-12C - and in a cheeky supermini-style move it will undercut its chief rival, the Ferrari 458 Italia, by a whisker over £1000.
When it goes on sale next year, the McLaren will cost £168,500, a price that includes new-rate VAT (20 per cent), although you'll have to find extra for tax and first-registration costs.
The 458 Italia costs £169,545, but that's currently inclusive of 17.5 per cent VAT, so the price is almost certain to rise further come January.
If you're in the market for the most exciting British supercar for years (or you're just generally interested in it), you can find out more about the new MP4-12C with our PH-exclusive video, featuring designer Frank Stephenson and some fabulous factory footage of the McLaren Technical Centre.
