McLaren has announced that it will stop production of the 12C supercar. The carmaker cited the success of its new 650S as the reason and said the move "represents a natural evolution of its model line-up".
 
Current 12C owners are being offered a free technology upgrade from June, retro-fitting new elements like Active Aero software, a drag reduction system mode which lowers the car's rear wing, and improvements to the 12C's Android-based infotainment system. As well as the free upgrade, two new options to fit a reversing camera and a DAB radio are also being offered at a cost.
 
McLaren says it already has six months' worth of orders for the 650S, which made its world debut at the Geneva motor show earlier this year in both coupé and Spider forms. 
 
The 650S blends the 12C with elements from the firm's new P1 hypercar. Using McLaren's turbocharged 3.8-litre V8 engine, the 650S gets 641bhp. That's enough to give the 650S a 0-100kph sprint time of 3seconds and a top speed of 333kph.
