With McLaren’s newest creation gradually making its way to most markets around the world, the tuning industry is stepping up its efforts to satisfy the needs of power-thirsty buyers.
After Hennessey, German tuning firm Wheelasandmore has also presented a new package for the McLaren MP4-12C, which includes both styling and performance products.
In factory guise, the MP4-12C’s mid-mounted 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine is rated at 600PS (592HP) and 600Nm (442.5 lb-ft). A reprogrammed ECU along with a custom sports exhaust system push those numbers to 666-horsepower and 640Nm (472 lb-ft) respectively.
Wheelsandmore noted that it’s currently working on a more aggressive tune with modified turbochargers and intercooler upgrades that will lift output to around 800-ponies.
For now, the company’s tune also includes an electronic hydraulic suspension system that lowers the ride height by another 25mm and is said to improve handling and steering.
The package is complemented by a new set of lightweight forged alloy wheels finished in black with an orange rim (20-inches with 245/30 Continental Sport Contact 5P tires up front and 21-inches shod in 325/25 rubber at the back), with matching color racing stripes.
