Late last year, McLaren confirmed that it would build a spiritual successor to the iconic F1 road car, revealing an illustration at the same time. And now the British automaker has released a fresh design sketch of the so-called “hyper-GT”.
Codenamed BP23, the manufacturer says the new model will be the “most powerful and most aerodynamic road-going McLaren ever”.
Just 106 examples (the same volume as the McLaren F1) of the new model – which the brand describes as a “luxurious three-seat car with a hybrid powertrain” – will be built by McLaren Special Operations, and all are already sold.
The BP23 name comes from the fact that the car is MSO’s second bespoke project and that it uses three seats. McLaren says owners will work alongside MSO to select colours, trim materials and other points of personalisation unique to them.
The first examples are expected to be delivered in 2019.
