The MP4-12C launched McLaren Automotive in 2011 — the company's first series-production road car since the F1, and the debut of the carbon MonoCell tub and M838T twin-turbo V8 every modern McLaren descends from. ProActive hydraulic suspension gave it a ride no rival matched. As the origin point of the modern marque, early cars carry founder-era significance.
