On one hand, fight is brutally on to take the crown of the world’s fastest production car, and on the other, McLaren is silently sneaking master class mechanicals into a super exotic chassis to remake the legendary icon, the F1 supercar.
The project is known to be under the hammer at McLaren and was earlier expected to come around 2014. However, McLaren now optimistically expects the car to be ready for debut in 2012. McLaren are not free, enthusiasts must remember with their MP4-12C debut due sometime soon and with their ambitious installation of showrooms in select cities around the world.
The car is expected to be more ‘revolutionary’ in styling compared to the bland MP4 as per company sources but shall keep in tune with the styling direction from the original F1. On the cards are intelligent and attractive lightning and wheel fixtures. The middle seat driver layout of the original car may not be confirmed but a lot of weight saving is definitely on the cards as is already seen with the MP4. The car might have low emission alternatives for the main powerhouse but a hybrid is out of view as of now.
McLaren is about to ready another supercar which might slot in below the MP4 making this a trio of supercars with the new F1 as the flagship. The British maker has never been this serious about commercial market forays so we’re in for a definite treat!
