McLaren has announced that it will reveal the design
and more technical details of the upcoming Speedtail on October 26, which is
just a few days away. Along with the announcement, the company also released a
teaser of the vehicle’s rear, emphasising its “stunning, streamlined form.”
As you can see, the uninterrupted look does away
with any outlandish spoilers or top-mounted exhausts like on the Senna.
Instead, the only features you can see are shutlines for what should be an
active spoiler and another opening that trails further down from the engine
cover.
The visual presence of the hyper-GT will be
complemented with a petrol-electric hybrid powertrain that is claimed to make
over 1,000 PS. That prominent tail on the Speedtail is also important when the
car hits speeds of over 391 km/h, or higher than any car that McLaren has
produced.
The Speedtail is the first of 18 new cars or
derivatives that McLaren will introduce as part of its Track25 business plan,
and just 106 cars will be produced. Every single unit has already been
accounted for at a cost of 1.75 million British pounds each, and
buyers will get to enjoy a central seating position with two seats either side
like on the McLaren F1.
Production is due to begin at the end of next year,
with every Speedtail personalised to each owner’s taste by McLaren Special
Operations (MSO), the division of McLaren Automotive responsible for bespoke
customer commissions.
