In a letter sent to a MP4-12C owner (as published on PistonHeads.com), McLaren Automotive Managing Director, Anthony Sherrif, outlines the upgrades that will be made available to existing owners and applied to future MP4-12C models.
The biggest news is that the engine map for the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 has been tuned to deliver an extra 25hp (bringing total power to 625hp), but with economy and emissions remaining unchanged.
While the cars are in for the work McLaren will also install a remote-opening passenger door system, tweak the Meridian stereo and update the IRIS infotainment/satnav system. These upgrades come about through customer feedback that McLaren has received from existing MP4-12C owners.
The upgrades will be installed by McLaren dealers in October and is the second raft of updates for the supercar after the Woking based manufacturer added some 'emotion' to what was seen by some as a competent but sterile car - by channelling engine noise into the cabin, fine-tuning the gear changes and adding more feel to the steering.
