McLaren is adamant that they won't build an SUV, as sports cars and supercars are what their brand is all about, but what about a four-door model? Such a vehicle would inevitably become a more expensive alternative to the Porsche Panamera, or, if it gets a zero-emission powertrain, the upcoming Mission E.

A rendering, posted by Jose Rodriguez Nebreda, shows us how a hypothetical four-door McLaren would look like, and the result is quite good, actually.  Notice that it doesn’t have a lot in common with the new 720S, adopting a unique styling with muscular lines, a very long hood and headlights inspired by the ones in McLaren's Sports Series range.


If McLaren decides to enter the all-electric super-saloon segment it will have to do battle not just with the Mission E but Aston Martin's RapidE , too, and of course the all-conquering Tesla Model S. Well, Elon Musk's company has had the segment to itself for quite some time, so it could use some competition.
