There are certain elements the world can always use more of. Chief among those is, of course, beer, although convertible supercars capable of cresting 200 mph certainly make our list as well. Fortunately, McLaren has scratched that itch with its brand-new MP4-12C Spider. Like its hardtop cousin, the machine can climb to 62 mph from a stand still in just 3.1 seconds, though the drophead boasts a slightly lower top end of 204 mph compared to the 207 mph of the coupe. Power still comes from a 616-horsepower 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine.

McLaren has opted for a retractable hard top, which the company says takes around 17 seconds to put up or down. The MP4-12C Spider also treats occupants to a power wind deflector that can be raised or lowered behind the seats. If you like what you see, get ready to pony up $265,750 for the pleasure of ownership.

s'allright that motor is....

The price sickens me, as does the price of any car over 30 grand.... I could by my house outright AND buy a new 370z and have change for a family world tour, for the price of that one car....

T'is bloody lovely though.....

Actually, I suspect that's the AMG version.. so that's probably a few years' salary too

Looks too much like a VW GTI, and the GTI is going to be much cheaper

Aww, my beautiful, beautiful car. Thank you for the wonderful photos of my car, it just doesnt look that shiny in my garage!

I wish!

So this is the car I will buy when I am a millionaire, one day. At almost $200k it is just not affordable right now, but I love it. (After looking at the above pics and reading the captions I guess this baby is more than 200K, still I will buy one one day)
