THIS\u00a0MP4-12C SUPER-COUPE\u00a0CAN BE YOURS FOR A DAY<\/h4>\n

We here at Turo are big fans of cars that go fast and look good, especially when you can rent<\/a> them from other people. So we are overwhelmingly stoked to introduce the first ever McLaren into our marketplace, <\/span>this mouthwatering MP4-12C<\/span> based in Los Angeles. We\u2019ll leave you to judge the looks for yourself, but trust us, it goes very fast.<\/span><\/p>\n

The owner of this magnificent machine, <\/span>Sean G.<\/span><\/a>, listed his first car, the excellent <\/span>Subaru STi<\/span> last March. Since then, he has compiled one of the most exciting collections on Turo, with the 12C as his capstone.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, the goods: This fire-black 2012 12C sports a 3.8L twin-turbo V8 making 616 bhp and 443 lb-ft of torque. It will take you 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, with a top speed of faster than you\u2019ll ever need to go (215 mph). So yes, it\u2019s a proper supercar. But thanks to McLaren\u2019s rather clever chassis control suspension, the 12C has pillow-like ride comfort for city cruising. Sean reckons it\u2019s this dual personality that sets the 12C apart from other supercars.<\/span><\/p>\n

For an extra tough stance, this 12C sits on gold Forgiato rims, which are 20\u201d in the front and 21\u201d in the back. When Sean walked into the dealership to buy his 12C, he spied the Forgiatos on another McLaren, a 675, and just had to have them. The 12C has decades of British racing pedigree built in, but is just as desirable as a piece of art. When not tearing through the canyons of the Santa Monica Mountains, this beauty is turning heads on Sunset Boulevard.<\/span><\/p>\n

The McLaren is only the the latest addition to Sean\u2019s lineup of thrilling and rare motorcars. On top of the <\/span>Subaru STi<\/span>, <\/span>Range Rover Sport<\/span>, and <\/span>Audi R8<\/span>, Sean offers the deliciously nimble, track-focused <\/span>Porsche 911 GT3<\/span>. This baby is lightning quick, and to Sean, is the embodiment of everything that makes Porsches amazing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another recent addition is the limited production <\/span>Porsche Cayman GT4<\/span> (<\/span>Turo\u2019s January car of the month!<\/span><\/a>). Sean has \u201cnever felt a car that\u2019s so playful in the corners,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s so light and precise.\u201d This particular Cayman GT4 was actually one of Porsche\u2019s showcars until Sean got his hands on it, so you can be sure it is in excellent condition, having been pampered by exacting Germans wearing lab coats and latex gloves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sean is a real car guy, and he offers real driver\u2019s cars you cannot rent anywhere else. \u201cI want something that will be memorable for people,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m trying to get cars that can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences for American enthusiasts is <\/span>Sean\u2019s Ford Focus RS<\/span>, a very special hot hatch that is as electrifying as it is rare. Ford just last year<\/a> made the\u00a04WD, 350 hp Focus RS available in the United States. Sean worked his magic and you can rent the Focus RS\u00a0in Denver next time you\u2019re in the mile-high city.<\/span><\/p>\n

What drives Sean to offer such drool-worthy machinery? His own passion for cars, and a desire to provide a customer experience as enjoyable as the cars themselves. Adventurous motorists are not likely to find a more thrilling collection than Sean\u2019s, with the\u00a0showstopping McLaren headlining his\u00a0all-star roster. Next time you\u2019re in LA, treat yourself a little and rent Sean\u2019s McLaren. You deserve it.<\/span><\/p>\n
