The 2013 McLaren 12C GT high-performance sports car achieves light weight, high power, and high efficiency. Use of aluminum in the 12C for the crashbox, engine, engine mount, and other parts provides more than just weight reduction. Extrusions in the crash box are fabricated with the optimal structural shape in order to absorb impact during an accident (see story page 22). Technologies used in the premium market tend to lead mass-market development, according to Mark White, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). White shows how aluminum is paving the way, as exemplified in JLR’s latest entry level premium sedan to roll out in 2015 (see story page 48).
