2012 Mclaren MP4-12C “High Sport”
About the Car
The McLaren MP4-12C HS represents an exceptionally rare chapter in McLaren’s modern supercar lineage, combining the engineering foundations of the original MP4-12C with the bespoke craftsmanship of McLaren Special Operations (MSO). Built exclusively for a select group of the marque’s most valued clients, the HS elevates the already formidable platform with distinctive carbon fibre aerodynamic components, bespoke detailing and nearly 700 horsepower, delivering an even more focused and exclusive interpretation of McLaren performance.
Chassis number 5 of just 10 examples produced, this exceptional MP4-12C HS is finished in striking Silica White over a full Saddle Brown leather interior. Sold directly from the factory to its original owner, the car has covered just 18,000 kilometres and benefits from a complete McLaren service history. Its rare specification, highly exclusive MSO provenance and remarkably low mileage make it an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the rarest interpretations of McLaren’s first modern-era supercar.

Specification
At the heart of the MP4-12C HS is McLaren’s renowned twin-turbocharged V8 powertrain, delivering nearly 700 horsepower through a sophisticated dual-clutch transmission. Developed as a bespoke MSO commission, the HS features a series of unique aerodynamic enhancements, including a distinctive carbon fibre rear diffuser, bespoke carbon fibre air intakes and exclusive front bonnet louvres. Together, these elements distinguish the HS from the standard MP4-12C and reinforce its more purposeful, performance-focused character.
The exterior is presented in elegant Silica White, complemented by a full Saddle Brown leather cabin that provides a sophisticated contrast to the car’s motorsport-inspired engineering. Carbon ceramic brakes provide formidable stopping power, while the bespoke carbon fibre components underscore the attention to detail associated with McLaren Special Operations. With only 10 examples produced worldwide, chassis number 5 offers an exceptionally rare combination of bespoke specification, supercar performance and collector appeal.
