Ferrari rolled out the 458 Speciale and now Mclaren wants to take Maranello head on with a sharper and of course, faster version of the MP4-12C. The Ferrari 458 Speciale 
replaces the F430 Scuderia which was launched last year. It is lighter, more powerful and quicker than the standard 458 Italia.

The standard Ferrari 458 Italia is as sharp as a Swiss knife, however the Speciale is more of a samurai sword. There’s all kinds of aerodynamic trickery going on making it extremely agile. Bettering Ferrari’s 458 Speciale will be a tough ask. But, that does not mean folks at Mclaren are going sit quiet with their hands folded.
Oh no, they wont. Mclaren insiders close to Autocar have revealed that a 458 Speciale rival is in the making. It will based on the current MP4-12C super car. Now, the MP4-12C is as complicated as its name which is why I like to call it a bucket load of science and mathematics where the bucket is made out of carbon fiber.
Mclaren’s 458 Speciale rival has to be better than its rival and for that they would require a team of the most brilliant engineers who will probably spend the months leading up to project deadline inside the Mclaren skunkworks. The new supercar is expected to arrive in 2014, according to Autocar.
The upcoming Mclaren will probably use the same 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 tuned to 650 horsepower. The exterior styling of the new car is expected to be unique too. There is talk about a P1 inspired exterior design to debut on this high performance model.
The 2014 Mclaren MP4-12C is expected to produce somewhere around 650 horsepower from its 3.8-liter V-8 twin-turbo engine. The Ferrari 
on the hand delivers 596 horsepower and 698 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. At its heart is a naturally aspirated V-8, unlike the Mclaren.

The Mclaren does produce roughly 50 horsepower more than the best Ferrari 458 , however the Ferrari is more agile thanks to its extremely sharp steering and immense grip from the various aerodynamic aides. Having said that, Mclaren is said to be working on an aerodynamic upgrade for the 2014 MP4-12C which could make it even-steven between the two.
