McLaren BP23 Project
Yet even in such rarified territory, some
McLarens are more exclusive than others. Like this latest project being
undertaken by the company's Special Operations division.
Billed as a “hyper-GT” due to its touring
temperament, the project is set to take at least one vital cue from the
legendary McLaren F1. That much you can glean from the project's codename BP23.
Shorthand for Bespoke Project 2 with 3 seats, BP23
is being designed around a three-seat cabin, with a central driving position
flanked by two passenger seats – just like the company's legendary original
supercar.
To enable ease of access, the exclusive exotic will
also feature powered doors for the first time in one of Woking's products,
extending deep into the roof. Like the sold-out McLaren P1, it's also set to
incorporate a hybrid powertrain, and “shrink-wrapped” carbon-fiber bodywork.
The British automaker isn't disclosing much more in
the way of details at this point, except to say that it will only make 106
examples, all of which have already been spoken for. The first deliveries are
slated to commence early in 2019, so we've got some time to wait before we get
to see what the finished product looks like, but we'll be watching.
