MCLAREN 12C SPIDER

摘要

A couple of years ago, a McLaren Automotive development engineer explained to me one of the key advantages you benefit from when crash-testing a supercar with a carbonfibre tub. It was Mark Vinnels, programme director for the 12C, talking on the phone from a hotel inside the Arctic Circle. I remember very clearly some of the detail that he revealed about the crash regime, though - because I couldn't quite believe it.
