In the search of perfection in performance and speed, the great manufacturers have pushed until the limit But in this occa- sion, we present to you two houses with great prestige, not dedicated to the mass production but to the search of the best performance in all senses. In both following cases it was in the reduction of weight where they found major speed and performance.

The McLaren MP4-12C, the successor of the FI. This powerful two-seater is a surprise to us with a more streamlined and more common exterior for the streets of the world.

 

What attracts the attention on the MP4 is the ope- ning of its doors in the form of scissors, the front defense, the back lights of LEDs and its back aileron that can vary its inclination to improve the aerodynamics.

The interior comes with an elegant style and without many luxuries, besides its very powerful motor and performance.

The Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster, that as its name indicates, is a Roadster of limited edition of only five units, where the chassis of carbon and titanium was redesigned to compensate the loss of weight of the ceiling. In addition, this very powerful car comes equipped with the comfort and luxury yet from any sedan.

So let's not wait any more and let’s give pas- sage to this reinvention of two great ones.

 

 

McLaren

Mixture of Art and Engineering

n this very special occasion, Amura Yachts & Lifestyle is proud to present the new McLaren MP4-12C, and how better to talk thru it than Sir Ron Dennis Chairman and mostly guilty of the McLaren emporium.

“It is an exciting time for all of us at McLaren. We have built a new company, we are constructing a new global dealer network and a purpose-built production plant and, of course we are launching the first pure McLaren car for more than a decade“.

It offers class-leading performance and class- leading economy and C02 emissions. It has small dimensions and great packaging. It is well-equip- ped with high safety standards and is lightweight. It has dramatic dynamic potential and the ride quality of an executive saloon car.

“So we developed everything from scratch becau- se it was the only way we could ensure we met our ambitious goals and did not compromise the car, a new chassis concept, new engine, new gearbox, new sus- pension system, new telematics system; everything is new. As exciting as it has been for us, we hope the 12C will prove even more exciting for our customers“.

“We respect and admire our competitors in the high performance sports car market, just as we do in the world of Formula 1, but I also believe that fierce competition drives technology and innova- tion and produces ever better products".

“It is our philosophy to push what is possi- ble in car design and engineering and bring innovation and engineering excellence to the performance car world. We have an incredibly dedicated team at McLaren who continue to drive this company to ever greater achieve- ments, and the 12C represents the passion within, as the first of this new range of perfor- mance cars from McLaren“, he concluded.

Pagani Zonda

Innovation and Excellence

The Pagani roadcar model range would not be complete without a Roadster version of the Zonda Cinque. As the name implies it is created in the Modenese Atelier in a limited pro- duction runs of merely five exclusive pieces like its coupe sister.

All weight reduction measures adopted by Pagani to improve driving pleasure, performance and emission of the Zonda Cinque have found use in the Cinque Roadster as well. The Carbon- Titanium chassis has been redesigned for the compensation of a missing roof.

The Cinque experience is enhanced with the roof stored in the front bonnet, when the storm of air being fed to the 678 Hp Mercedes AMG V12, engine through the massive intake just inches over the passenger’s ears, accompanies. The exhaust note of the bespoke Zonda Cinque Inconel and Titanium exhaust system.

Whether you opt for a relaxed country drive i Tuscany’s hills, visiting Florence and other cent of the Italian Renaissance or a record hunt at tit Nürburgring, this 1.3 million Euro + taxes jewel will reward with every day. Drivability and ultimate performance thanks to the different drive modes of the sequential robotized gearbox and an adjustable suspension setup that feels at home as well at the racetrack as on bumpy roads.

The constant efforts of Horacio Pagani and his team shows once again how art and engineering can be combined in the Zonda Cinque Roadster.
