What will we expect from this hybrid model?

The McLaren hybrid will be powered by a V6 petrol engine and have a pure EV driving mode. The engine is said to provide impressive levels of performance, an intense driver experience, and EV-only capability. Every performance component works together to produce the well-recognized and highly beloved McLaren track performance. CEO of McLaren Automotive, Mike Flewitt said, “We see this new McLaren as a true ‘next generation’ supercar and cannot wait to show it to customers.’”

This model is also the first to be designed with a carbon fibre structure.  This structure has been coined as “McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture.” This new carbon fibre structure helps to provide a more lightweight driving experience by lowering the overall weight of the vehicle. Over the next few years, this structure will be seen on upcoming McLaren hybrid models. McLaren hopes to offer loyal customers a new experience through electric performance and lightweight feeling.
