The McLaren might be down for the count right now, but we have every confidence that the MP4-12C, despite its faults, has what it takes to stick around and turn into a legend. Some people might say that it’s too disconnected, two cold, compared to the soulful 458 Italia, but the fact of the matter is that nothing else on the market can actually hold a candle to the Italian stallion.
Thanks to the efforts of Youtube user Shmee150, we have some very interesting footage of the most awesome battle in the automotive world right now: a Ferrari 458 in black chasing down it British foe through a tunnel. The exhaust notes are simply sublime, and there’s no denying these cars are in a class all their own.
We’ll also remind you that the Brits have done everything they could to make their supercar as fun as possible. Last minute changes before customer delivery started included faster throttle response and a “fruitier” exhaust note, which was achieved by a new induction kit for the exhaust, designed to channel more sound into the cabin, directly addressing criticism of the McLaren's muted note next to the more vocal Ferrari.
