Looks like people now hate cars bcz they love thier girlfriend. Where all all car lovers?

The "All McLaren" MP4-12C

Look at some crazy weight reductions

The carbon MonoCell not only reduces the weight of the structure but also allows for the use of much lighter weight body panels at less than 80 kgs it is 25 percent lighter than equivalent size aluminium chassis.

Facia airbags, steering column and a significant number of interior components all mount to a single one-piece pressure die cast magnesium beam that offers the same density as plastic and is 75 percent lighter than steel. Structural analysis and casting simulation has delivered a complex part capable of carrying all loads without additional brackets or fixings.

The close position of the driver and passenger allows for a narrower, lighter body while giving improved visibility with a clearer perception of the car's extremities.

The small, compact downsized engine coupled to a compact SSG is extremely light, but is also short, minimising vehicle length and thus further reducing weight.

The standard brakes for the 12C reduce overall vehicle and unsprung mass. McLaren has developed a forged aluminium bell that attaches to the cast iron brake disc. This solution maintained the excellent brake feel of a cast iron disc while saving 8 kg. Carbon ceramic brakes with cooling ducts will be available as an option, offering fade-free braking performance during high performance driving, but the standard composite brake system is actually lighter than the larger carbon ceramic units.

Lightweight exhaust pipes exit straight out the rear of the car, minimising their length and weight.
Airflow-assisted Airbrake deployment dramatically reduces weight of the Airbrake activation system by about 50 percent, or 5 kgs.
Significant weight was pared off the alloy wheels through intensive Finite Element Analysis.

The engine cooling radiators are mid-mounted, as close to the engine as possible, to minimise the pipework, the fluids contained within them, and therefore weight. They were also mounted in car-line to minimise vehicle width.

Lighter hexagonal wiring saves almost 4 kgs over circular wiring.

A new lithium-ion battery saves more than half the weight of a traditional Lead acid unit. Designed to occupy the same space as a conventional H8 lead acid unit, the 12C battery saves over 10 kgs compared to a typical lead acid battery. Designed by McLaren in conjunction with a specialist supplier to match the performance of the 12C's electrical architecture, the lithium-ion battery meets all environmental, electrical and EMC requirements. And battery life should be longer than a standard storage unit.

But the best one is

In an automotive first, McLaren has replaced the iron magnets in the speakers with neodymium and has used magnesium for the dash support beam, saving 8.8 lbs (4 kg) over using steel and making the MP4-12C the first in its class to use magnesium as a structural component

I prefer my Ls 400 more than Camry for an out of town long drive, and i love it

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

damn, son.....!

20% tints in the back and the front.

looks clean to me.....tint the rear tail light lenses (with window tint or with rustoleum tint spray) and throw in 2 12'' speakers and you have a perfect city/cruise car

second hand Civic VTi Oriel

@ A.Zulfiqar,
advice taken, but dont have much time for this, Yeah its very clean inside out but its price is wonderfully low. its only 3k usd. Many locals asking me ya habibi biah ? ,
This luxury car very much popular among local arabs

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

i mean, the LS400 is oldschool...they made them in 1990s
by now the value is dropped a lot...but in terms of ride and comfort, it's still good.

im a car audio/electronics guy --so please pardon my ''advice''

i get carried away sometimes.....how many kilometers (or miles) on the odometer?



where is this car?

 

[jin]

yeah its 93 model, old and still competing ride wise. i like also audio and it has cd changer but i only prefer radio in fact. Its about 300 k

Its an old school thingy thats why i have kept it.. inside city i use my camry.

I am based in UAE.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

ditch the Camry; use this as a daily driver

petrol there is cheap anyways, u can run that 250 hp V8 all day long


if i were u, i'd throw in some loud-speakers man.....but im kinda weird about the car audio thing. I like a little bit of ''boom boom'' in the trunk


300k km not bad! My car has 304k and it is 9 years older than your car

Budget isn't big , im going to pick a piece from Tokyo or Osaka and bring it down - it would save me around 35% on what i would pay on the local market , which means i can get a Metallic custom pain job , Wheels and muffler done in one package.
