McLaren’s
Latest Supercar Joins Racing Game and Community’s Car Roster
Eutechnyx
has announced that the latest car to be added to Auto Club Revolution, its online racing game and car community, is
McLaren’s current supercar, the MP4-12C. Launched in Auto Club Revolution on the 8th May 2012, the MP4-12C
joins McLaren’s legendary F1 and adds another mid-engined monster to the game’s
ever-increasing roster of high-performance vehicles available to buy with the
game’s e-Bucks currency.
First
unveiled in 2009, the McLaren MP4-12C was launched in 2011 with a carbon fibre
composite chassis and the 7-speed McLaren Seamless Shift dual clutch gearbox
(SSG) with Pre-Cog functionality. The pure power of the 1434 kg car can be
experienced when its 600 PS twin-turbo engine accelerates it to 100 mph in only
6.1 seconds. The official Auto Club
Revolution forums will see a dedicated thread for the car’s release, which
will include all manner of information.
Doug Wolff,
team lead, Eutechnyx commented:
“McLaren has always been at the forefront of
car design, be it in Formula 1, on behalf of other manufacturers or under its
own label, and the MP4-12C is absolutely emblematic of that combination of
extreme skill, talent and artistry.”
He continues, “With the truly iconic
McLaren F1 already in the Auto Club Revolution
roster, we’re overjoyed to be able to add the very latest summation of
McLaren’s automotive knowledge to our game and with the MP4-12C in place, we’ll
be looking forward to seeing even more fierce battles in the mid-engined
supercar domain within the Auto Club
Revolution community and leaderboards.”
