The new supercar from the British grand prix team gives out a cool 592bhp with a top speed of 205mph and 0-62mph taking only 3.1sec. The supercar will set you back £168,500 in the United Kingdom and $229,000 for the US market. McLaren aims to build 1,000 this year and 1,500 annually after that.

McLaren have also announced that the MP4-12C will compete in the FIA GT3 European Championship and will begin racing in 2012 with the CRS Racing team.

Paraglider Dell Schanze aka “Superdell” posted a video on Youtube of him paragliding of the Astoria Column an historic tower  in the U.S. state of Oregon.

The video was put up on Saturday the 11th June 2011 and two days later the stuntman was arrested after being spotted on Oregon beach. Once the video was posted on Youtube, police distributed it to the local media in hope to find the daredevil and by Monday police got a tip of on his whereabouts.

The video states the stunt was planned by Byron Leisek so we wonder if he will also be charged for the stunt.
