The Caffeine and Octane show is never without an impressive number of exotics. The presence of such vehicles brings a certain polish and flair that raises the credibility of any car show. If you were to describe the Caffeine and Octane show to a friend, co-worker or common acquaintance, you would certainly include noted brands such as Lamborghini and Ferrari as well as specific models such as the Audi R8. What normally only exists for most as paint upon the imagination or in a virtual form through a video game becomes available for tangible experience.
The McLaren 12C stands out above the other exotics. It is both more unusual and more impressive than the standard exotic fare. The body of the McLaren 12C is a 75kg MonoCell carbon fiber chassis. A fascinating fact concerning McLaren manufacturing: it took 4000 hours to produce one McLaren F1 chassis. 20 years later, it takes just 4 hours to produce one MonoCell which is the very essence of the 12C. According to McLaren the chassis is both stronger and safer than a relative steel or aluminum structure. Consider also that carbon fiber does not submit to a summation of years passed in the same manner as metals and alloys.
Mounted low in the chassis of the 12C, is 200 kilograms of 1,100 aluminum handmade parts that make up the M838T 3.8 liter, twin-turbocharged V8.
The 12C features Brake Steer technology that manages traction, minimizes mid-corner understeer and controls oversteer at speed. This system calculates an efficient path through a corner based on the speed and steering angle. The system then applies an exact amount of braking force to the rear inside wheel allowing the vehicle to effectively pivot around the calculated path. 
This technology was first introduced in the Formula 1 championship winning MP4-13. It was banned soon after due to the impressive advantage it provided.
Among the list of impressive features such as Proactive Chassis Control (PCC) which claims to answer the desire for a comfortable ride without sacrificing handling, we find a subtle form feature that borders on beautiful nuance in these pivoting mirrors.
