Last week McLaren unveiled the saliva-inducing MP4-12C Spider. We gave you all the news. We gave you the best pictures. You clicked in your hundreds of thousands. But we didn't give you video.

Internet, we now give you video.

Click the handy triangular play button below to see a Volcano Red MP4-12C Spider take to the Ascari circuit, before heading to the winding mountain roads of Andalucía in southern Spain. You'll also see that the new RHT roof seems to work beautifully. As does the airbrake, which looks even more awesome when you have an unrestricted view out of the rear-view mirror.

So dot commers, do you want the Spider even more now that you've seen it moving?
