F1, P1, W1: McLaren’s new hypercar is coming

It’s reasonable to speculate that, like the P1, active aero and clever suspension able to optimise the car for both road and track use is likely.

It will be interesting – albeit academically for most – to see how many McLaren decides to build, at what price it pitches them and to learn whether the run has sold out before the car has even been seen in public. There were 375 production P1s, and 500 Sennas. McLaren was going to build 399 Elvas but this number was more than halved by the time the cars went into production with just 149 built. There were 106 Speedtails and just 25 Solus GTs.

All eyes on October 6^th, then. I wonder if they’ll roll out Emmo for the announcement to celebrate the day he became at the age of just 25 the then youngest F1 champion in history. Now that would be seriously cool.
