The slow reveal of what promises to be McLaren's
most extreme supercar yet continues with the release of another teaser image
and a firm launch date.
At the Dubai Motor Show this week, the British
supercar manufacturer announced that the new model will be revealed online just
past midnight (UK time) on December 10 – now less than a month away.
Today's teaser
provides a glimpse at what would appear to be its taillight – a thin red strip
of LEDs – as well as some vents. The proliferation of outlets we've seen thus
far would seem to suggest that the new hypercar will be covered in louvers and
ventilation to keep everything running at optimal temperature.
The next model in McLaren's Ultimate Series will
follow the discontinued P1 (and P1 GTR) and predate the launch of the project
referred to this point as BP23. The more touring-focused model is slated to
revive the McLaren F1's iconic 1+2 cabin layout, and we wouldn't be surprised
to see this one adopt a similar central seating position as well. Nor will we
be surprised to see this model adopt a more powerful version of the 4.0-liter
twin-turbo V8 (along with other components) found in the 720S, possibly with a
hybrid assist.
At this rate, we can expect another teaser or two to
follow before the new model's reveal on December 10, after which it will make
its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
