Cake. It's delicious. And if you're a Surrey-based supercar purveyor, the perfect way to celebrate a storming lap time on the Top Gear test track.
This picture of the triumphant sponge turned up on the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes official Twitter feed after the MP4-12C made it round the track in 1:16.2secs - the second fastest ever.
It's only beaten by the Ariel Atom V8 (1:15.1secs). That means the £168,500 hellion's quicker than a Bugatti Veyron SS (1:16.8secs), Gumpert Apollo (1:17.1secs) and - the car we're sure McLaren are more than a little chuffed about beating - the Ferrari 458 (1:19.1secs). In fact, it'll even take the Enzo (1:19.0secs).
So, TopGear.commers, would you prefer the MP4-12C over a 458? Or are you with Jeremy on this one?

The 12C is blisteringly fast, but speed isn't everything. I'd have the Ferrari, without a shadow of a doubt.

I believe you ment the Atom is 1:15.1 not 1:51.1 because that is rubbish!

I'd definitely take the McLaren over the Ferrari. I love all the tech stuff it has and it just looks fabulous.

I'd have the Mclaren in a heartbeat, such a brilliant car just a shame about the name. I would have called it the shadowsplinter or the speedmeister or even the flamesscrew.
