Neiman Marcus McLaren 12C Spider Sold Out
Despite commanding an almost $86,000 price premium, all 12 McLaren 12C Spiders listen in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalogue sold out in under two hours.
That’s probably got something to do with a couple of key factors. First, the 12C Spider isn’t actually available yet, so the well-heeled Neiman’s customers get to skip the line. Second, and considerably less significant, the buyers also get a trip to the U.K. as part of the deal. There, they will meet McLaren chairman Ron Dennis over dinner and take a tour of the automaker’s facility.
The car comes finished in “Volcano” red and comes with gloss black headlights, diamond-cut wheels and a custom luggage set. The interior also gets spiffed up with red stitching and glossy black trim.
McLaren didn’t make any performance modifications to the car, meaning it comes with the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 capable of 616 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque through a dual-clutch transmission.
