Efterträdare till McLaren F1 kommer 2019

Självklart blir den tresitsig

Efter mycket snack står det nu klart att en ordentlig efterträdare till McLarens legendariska modell F1 kommer. Den blir precis som företrädaren tresitsig. De första leveranserna ska ske 2019 och alla 106 stycken exemplar av bilen ska redan vara sålda.Några tekniska specifikationer eller bilder på hur bilen ser ut har varken köparna eller vi fått än, utan vi får snällt nöja oss med den här skissen som inte säger så mycket. Det McLaren säger är dock att modellen kommer att bli en av deras absolut mest kraftfulla någonsin.

Pressmeddelande

McLAREN SPECIAL OPERATIONS CONFIRMS THREE-SEAT BESPOKE PROJECT McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the department of McLaren Automotive responsible for bespoke customer commissions, has confirmed details of the world’s first ‘Hyper-GT’ which will be the most exquisitely crafted and luxurious road-going McLaren to date. Development of the car, codenamed BP23, standing for Bespoke Project 2 and featuring three seats, will be entrusted to MSO with production limited to 106 units, all of which have already been pre-sold. On the announcement of the project, McLaren Automotive’s Chief Executive Officer, Mike Flewitt, said: “BP23 will borrow the three seat layout with the central driving position made famous by the iconic McLaren F1, and it will be housed in a streamlined, shrink-wrapped carbon fibre body of great elegance. We are calling BP23 a ‘Hyper-GT’ because it’s a car designed for longer journeys, but with the high levels of performance and driver engagement expected of any McLaren. A hybrid powertrain will make it one of the most powerful McLarens yet created but the car will also deliver the highest levels of refinement, enabling significant journeys to be undertaken with up to three people aboard.” Design work has begun, with an ambition to deliver the first examples in early 2019. Production is being capped at 106 units which is exactly the same as the number of McLaren F1s produced. Future owners will work alongside MSO to create their own bespoke cars, being able to select colour, trim and other points of personalisation unique to them. Such is the exceptional nature of the project, all of the switchgear will be bespoke and exquisitely crafted for the car. Like the McLaren F1 and all of McLaren Automotive’s road and track cars, the car will feature dihedral doors, but for BP23, the doors will be powered for the first time with apertures extending into the roof. Further details of the car’s specification will be communicated nearer the launch date.
