So the 2011 McLaren MP4-12C is supposed to be the most cutting-edge sports car on the planet. At least that's the hope of McLaren Automotive's Ron Dennis.

In any case, you can explore this interesting supercar proposition and literally take the MP4-12C apart, all the way down to its MonoCell carbon-fiber chassis, on a nifty animated website McLaren has set up.

Alas, the "Configure" (er, "build your own") function is still "in development," but the site is still worth 5 minutes of playing around.
