Despite closely resembling last year’s car, the stunning McLaren Mercedes MP4-27 has a chassis which the Woking, UK based group have substantially revised, with all major systems updated or re-designed for the 2012 Formula One season.

Features:

- A more tightly waisted rear bodywork to improve flow to the rear of the car.

- A revised cooling system, which re-directs the gearbox oil-cooler.

- Redesigned U-shaped sidepods.

- Top speed of 200mph+.

- A naturally aspirated Mercedes-Benz 2.4L V8 capable of 18,000 RPM.

- P Zero tyres from Pirelli.

McLaren drivers and former world champions Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.

The first 2012 Formula One race starts in Melbourne, Australia on Sunday 18 March. Witness the evolution for yourself.
