Recently, according to relevant ** reports, the successor to the McLaren P1 will be officially released this year, codenamed P18, and positioned as McLaren's flagship model. The appearance of the new car alone can be a feast for many fans. The car uses a hybrid system composed of V8 turbocharged engine + electric motor, with a maximum power of more than 1000 horsepower, and the power is very strong. So let's take a look at this cool new car!
On the outside, the new car adopts a family-style design language, which is highly recognisable, and many fans who are familiar with McLaren's styling may be able to recognise the brand at a glance. The headlight clusters have a barbed design, which is very similar to McLaren's artura and 750S. The low-lying and concave lines of the body are not only in line with the dynamic design, but also very visually aesthetic.
According to relevant sources, the new car will remove the door design and instead use the "European window" to adapt to the needs of high-spec racing cars and effectively reduce the weight of the body. It is worth mentioning that the car uses carbon fiber in many aspects, which helps to reduce the weight of the body and further improve the track performance of the vehicle. The new "Ouyi window" will allow us to experience a different visual feast.
In addition, the car will also use 3D printing technology to produce a suspension pendant, the tail is equipped with an electrically retractable rear spoiler, improve the body downforce, so that the vehicle has a more perfect high-speed driving performance.
In terms of power, the McLaren P18 will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a twin-turbocharged V8 engine and an electric motor, which is lighter than the P1 hybrid system and weighs around 70%. According to industry reports, the car is expected to have a combined power of 1,000 horsepower, and the power will be very strong.
In the era of electric car racing, McLaren officially said that the reason why the hotspot engine plan does not adopt a pure electric design is due to weight considerations, and the pure electric motor will not be able to have both supercar road and track dual recreation, so it still chooses a plug-in hybrid system. Of course, no matter what system is adopted, McLaren's exterior design will hardly disappoint us, and driving on the road will be the ultimate visual feast!
