Customer in Brazil building a McLaren MP4-12C Track Monster

We told you about our sales guy Adam following a build he found online that ended with him buying the car off the people who were building it. That intrigue to watch something being built from the ground up is where a tuner’s root spring from. Our customer is starting to build his own McLaren Mp4-12C to track in Brazil. When we say building, we mean from the ground up.

He’s starting with the Mc4-12c shell. You can see the body shape in the pictures below. They dropped a Ford Edge drivetrain into the custom made chassis and will be fabricating a Garret twin turbo system. With the meat of the build mapped out, he wanted to make sure this track monster could stop on  a dime. He went to the best in braking and will be installing some Brembo 6 piston calipers in the front and 4 piston calipers in the rear. He’s unsure what suspension system he’ll be going with, but a set of coilovers will be in the mix for sure. We are working with MHT, the makers of Niche, to get some custom 19″ and 20″ wheels made for this insane build.

These are all the details we have at this moment, but we will be following this build closely. We will be posting updates as we get them in from the customer. Until then, here are the exclusive, first-looks at the build he sent us.

New McLaren 12C Catalytic Converters from Fabspeed - Video

Fabspeed has set off to do the impossible, improve an already close to perfection McLaren MP4-12C and 12C Spyder.  They recently released a new addition to go with the exhaust system they already released for the McLaren 12C. You can also upgrade to get the full performance package. The package fits all McLaren MP4-12C 2012+. The performance package, if you choose to upgrade, consists of, the X-Pipe Exhaust system with Deluxe Tips, Proprietary 300-cell HJS Ultra High- Flowing Sportcats and EVOSit ECU Upgrade.

Here are a couple features that the new system can add to the 12C or 12C Spyder.

  • Improves power to 724HP/552 ft-lbs. of torque to the engine with the full package + ECU upgrade.
  • Fabspeed’s Rear X-Pipe High Performance Exhaust system with Deluxe Quad Outlet Tips is a direct replacement for the stock exhaust or McLaren H-Pipe Race Exhaust.
  • Constructed from 14-16 gauge C.N.C. mandrel bent T304L stainless steel for improved sound and power.
  • German-imported 300 cell per square inch tri-metallic sport catalytic converters are less restrictive than the OEM McLaren catalytic converters.
  • All McLaren MP4-12C vehicles have 4 restrictive catalytic converters with two on each exhaust bank.
  • Fabspeed’s Sportcats are safe for emissions with no Check Engine Lights.
  • ECU upgrade is a Plug & Play unit that can be installed in minutes. Dramatic improvement in horsepower and torque throughout the RPM range.
