The new McLaren model that will be the worthy descendant of the legendary F1 is now in the works. The information states that it will use a V8 engine 3,8 liters with 800 horsepower.
The MP4-12C can be placed right among the top supercars, but who can forget his legendary McLaren F1 1992, and the "very" Gordon Murray who played the leading role in its implementation! So as we all expect, the even better McLaren, or else the worthy offspring of F1 is under development and will be presented in less than a year, according to the British special press.
In fact, there is a lot of information that has started to leak, and they want the model to literally look "unreal"., with "curves" in the roof for the heads of the passengers, reminiscent of racing construction.
But the important thing is what engine will be hidden under the hood, or else… behind the backs of the passengers. So the first information indicates that the new P12 will make use of a V8 as a whole 3,8 l, which, however, with two turbos will perform about them 800 horsepower! also, there is talk of using the KERS system also known by F1 (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which will further increase the model's HP for a few seconds.

End, the body will be carbon fiber but lighter than that of the MP4-12C while the starting price of the McLaren P12 will be 750.000 euro. Perhaps the only disappointment for those nostalgic for the first F1, is the fact that the company's CEO Anthony Sherrif has indicated that we will not see the three-seat layout with the driver in the center again! The reason is that, even though the engineers tested her, it changed the distribution and significantly altered the dimensions of the model.
