Performance

The 12C Spider's performance is well-balanced, improved over the Chevrolet Corvette C7, including superb acceleration, decent handling, great top speed, and good nitro efficiency. Overall, the 12C Spider is a mid-range car that is competitive on virtually any track, although the Pagani Zonda R is a further improvement.

Usage

Given its cheap buying and upgrade price and its decent stock performance, the McLaren 12C Spider is a good choice for class A starter car. It is useful for clearing class A career events, although in the case of McLaren-exclusive events, the McLaren 675LT is a better but much more expensive choice. Until the player can afford other better class A vehicles like the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, it is recommended for players to stick with the McLaren 12C Spider. However, in late March 2018, the aforementioned three cars are now purchasable only for .

Usually, the McLaren 12C Spider won't do well in Time-Limited Events unless the event's car selection has the 12C Spider appearing in the top 100 positions of the leaderboard. In terms of multiplayer, the car performs well, but should not be upgraded above 1586, lest the player runs the risk of encountering cars ranked above 1600.

The 12C Spider counts towards the Britain's Finest and McLaren collections. A total reward of 12 Extra Tanks and  1,500,000 are awarded when all 4 versions are completed.

Price

As of the Fifteenth Anniversary Update, the McLaren 12C Spider costs  4,200 (previously  90,000, then  1,100).

As of the 2019 Spring Update, upgrades costs  720,000 while Pro Kits require  240,000, 10 of each Class A Part, 6 Early & Initial Techs each, 16 Mid-Techs and 16 Forced-Induction V8 engines.

The 12C was also part of the 21st Multiplayer Season, Spring Fling Season 2 as a Champion League reward. Players who already had the 12C would win  120,000​​​ instead.
