Cracking pics of the MP4-12C

When you get a break from googling ‘Megan Fox vs Sienna Miller in wrestling scrap', may we suggest you give the new McLaren MP4-12C website some screen time. It's really rather cool.
 
The site is live now, and is a techfest on a similar scale to the car itself. The first thing you'll notice - unless you take your own unique path through the ether - is the homepage, which features an exploded view of the car and all its parts. That's ‘exploded' in a very neat and tidy way, so you can make out each little bit and how it fits to that carbon fibre tub.
 
There are galleries and mini animations and even a blog from a McLaren ‘insider'. There's a car configurator in development too, for those people devoted enough to actually have the MP4-12C on their shopping list. For the rest of us, it'll just be fun to see what it looks like in pink, with a mauve racing stripe.

And as the car won't be in showrooms until 2011, the new site is just about the only way to see it until then, except, of course, through our mega-gallery.
