The McLaren MP4-12C

With the Ferrari 458 Italia being one of the most idolized cars in the industry, McLaren have laid down the gauntlet with their offering of the MP4-12C.  With more refined looks and clinical design than the Italia, it doesn’t look as brash as it’s competitor but packs an equally devastating punch.  Just a snip at around £945+VAT to experience the car this summer.

The 458 Italia was a very popular hire car last year with drivers instantly forgetting about the hire charge once their foot had touched the accelerator pedal.  The same will be true of the McLaren.  If you are familiar with the performance of the F430 or Gallardo, the advances in engineering is instantly recognisable when you get behind the wheel of the McLaren.  It’s just a shame the UK traffic laws have to come into play. 

All performance stats aside, it has ‘doors which open upwards’.  It’s amazing how clients would want to pay almost double for a Murcielago over a Gallardo in order to arrive at a venue and exit the car with this door system.  Maybe it has been a childhood dream after watching The Cannonball Run?  Who knows?, but an amazing influencing factor which may prove to top the 458 rental demand from last year.

In terms of supplier offerings, there are currently two MP4-12Cs for hire with colour options of either red or orange.  Depending on your budget, 24 hour mid-week hires start at £1,050+VAT for 24 hours, with weekend rates (Friday to Monday) coming in at £3,200+VAT for 72 hours with a 300 mile allowance.  Visit our website for more pictures, performance data and hire details.

If you have some spare cash lying around, the question is would you take the 458 or MP4-12C?  Decisions, decisions…

Dreams into reality......

This company was born following a personal need to source a supercar quickly and efficiently from a single location.

Right here, on this little island we call home in the Atlantic, there's a plethora of supercar hire suppliers offering all the latest and greatest exotica from across the globe but knowing where they are requires a bit of luck, magazine research or Googling.....

From hiring supercars ourselves, we always used to experience difficulty in sourcing a supercar to match our exact specification but with the introduction of our website, we’re hoping that this will now be a problem of the past. If you want a Ferrari to be 'red', 'black' or 'grey' then look no further than our dynamic database Here you will find a whole host of colour, trim, and gearbox combinations to satisfy your every craving.....(take a look)

Why settle for second best when you can hire the EXACT car of your dreams?

Following positive feedback from suppliers we already have over 70 supercars and prestige cars listed within our database. We’re hoping that we can double this figure in our second month of trading....

In addition to the database, we are also looking to develop an informative performance car directory for use with the new ‘.tel’ Top Level Domain (TLD) and associated applications for smart phones. We may be a bit ahead of the market using this technology but it has a lot of potential for storing and accessing contact information. We believe it will be a thing of the future so we’re investing our time in creating the UK’s first directory on this platform. If you aren't familiar with .tel you may want to read more at www.telnic.org

For those of you who would like to be kept up to date on all the latest developments, fleet updates, special offers and last minute deals, please join our community and subscribe to our Twitter and/or Facebook pages.

We’re looking forward to the months ahead so please check back soon, follow our progress, and spread the word....
