Challenge given to McLaren's special projects division, MSO, with the assumed purpose of building “the fastest McLaren ever in a straight line”, capable of reaching a top speed above the 391 km/h achieved by the mythical McLaren F1, the The future model intends to be, moreover, the true heir of what was, in the 90s of the last century, the fastest super sports car in the world.
As for the name now released, Speedtail, it is an assumed reference to the top speed that the car should reach, and which will be, at the outset, the highest ever achieved by a McLaren.
Also according to the information already disseminated, McLaren expects to manufacture only 106 units of the model, which will be manufactured completely by hand, at the Woking facilities, from the end of this year onwards.
With the same number of McLaren F1 units produced, the Speedtail has, moreover, already all production delivered, to customers who made the reservation in advance, and who will have to pay something like something like for their new car. 1.8 million euros.
On the model itself, the use of a revised version of the Monocage II should be highlighted, the central carbon fiber cell, adapted to accommodate a maximum of three occupants, with the driver in a central position, slightly ahead of the rest.
As for the mechanics, about which there is still little or no official information, rumors advance that the McLaren Speedtail will be able to boast a power in excess of 1000 hp, thanks to the addition of a plug-in hybrid system.
Still in the conception stage, the new super sports car by the constructor from Woking should be presented, in its final lines, this year, although only to a restricted group of guests.
