The Spider’s top features include an impressive, high-powered 3.8-litre V-8 turbo engine boasting 616 bhp, Retractable Hard Top (RHT) folding roof system, and signature carbon “MonoCell” chassis identical to that of the groundbreaking 12C Coupe.  The 12C Spider will be priced from $265,750 in the US and is now available to order from McLaren’s 38 retailers in 22 countries around the world.
