In real life it is usually because of the mechanism to store top in the car. In the game there is no sensible reason.

The MP4-12C Spider functionally very similar to the standard 12C because they share the same carbon fiber tub. The original MP4-12C in the game is a few years older than the 2013 Spider so the tech and grip are lower. Before the release of the McLaren 650S which replaced the 12C, the 12C was the McLaren baseline super car.
