The Joy of Sharing a Ride in a McLaren 12C
As I sat watching the video on Evo TV, which was played back on my iPhone's YouTube app, I noticed a comment left by Rahul Barathan. "Hey Nick here's one thing you can do since you have a free supercar...". The idea that caught his attention was to pick a random person from a crowd who admires the car when it's parked and give them the chance to take a ride in it. "It should blow their mind," he thought, and I couldn't help but agree with him.
Nick had a McLaren 12C, a car that he had admired from afar. He knew that Alex, who had contacted him after seeing the car in a magazine and watching some videos online, would be the perfect person to share it with. "Well you're perfect then come on jump in I'll take you out for the ride," Nick said, joking aside. Although they had never met before, Nick was eager to introduce Alex to his supercar.
As they prepared to take the 12C out for a spin, Nick asked Alex if he had ever been in a car like this before. "Nothing like this no fastest I think was an M5 right okay this is a little bit quicker good than an M5," Alex replied, indicating that he was excited and eager to experience the speed of the 12C.
With the track mod ready, Nick asked if Alex was ready for this. "Yeah we'll see" he said, showing his enthusiasm for the ride. As they began to drive, Nick turned up the power to 11 and told Alex to hold on tight. The adrenaline rush that followed must have been exhilarating, as Nick exclaimed, "Good Lord how did that feel? Epic I actually got tingles going up and down the back of my neck."
Alex seemed to be enjoying himself immensely, saying "wow you felt anything like that before?" As they continued driving, Nick pointed out the smooth power delivery of the car. It was a sensation unlike any other, with Alex expressing his delight in every way possible.
As they accelerated towards 100 mph, Alex's eyes bulged as he struggled to keep up with the speed. "I could actually feel the blood going to the front of my head," he said, which only added to the sense of excitement and thrill that came with driving a supercar like the 12C. Nick commented on how impressive the braking was, stating that it would scramble his brain when accelerating.
In this moment, Alex felt a sense of wonder that he had never experienced before. He knew what positive and negative g-forces were like after doing some aerobatics, which made him appreciate the sensation even more. As they took their final lap, Nick asked if Alex wanted to take another ride, to which Alex enthusiastically replied "yes please."
As the two drivers came back to a stop, I couldn't help but wonder how much fuel the 12C would have consumed on that thrilling drive. Luckily, Nick had an answer at the ready, estimating that it was around 4.8 miles per gallon, significantly more economical than expected. And if the ride were made as a charity event, Alex thought it could be profitable too.
In conclusion, sharing a ride in a McLaren 12C can bring immense joy and excitement for both drivers. Whether you're an experienced driver or not, this car offers a unique experience that combines speed, thrill, and power delivery like no other vehicle on the road today.
