Attention foodies of the world! The McLaren Elva debuts a windshield…

El Mclaren elva It is the "wet dream" of many motor enthusiasts. When the Woking house presented it to society in November 2019, we saw the sky open. Nevertheless, it seems that the public did not understand his concept in the same way. Yes, because shortly after announcing its sale, we learned that those responsible for the brand decided to reduce its production. Of course, this decision can be read in two very different ways.

On the one hand, we have the fact that, despite its limited diffusion, the number of orders did not arrive as expected. Secondly, that customers did not understand the price to pay for a model in which comfort is conspicuous by its absence. So, we don't know if by reason or heart, The McLaren Elva has "fallen from the sky" a windshield. Yes, this is the novelty that the English firm has announced for this exclusive sports car.

Even with a windshield, the McLaren Elva won't add windows or a roof

La "transformation" of the McLaren Elva It is very interesting, especially from the point of view of the final weight on scale Yes, because in order to offer a high dynamic level, the brand's engineers have kept its tare at bay by using materials such as carbon fiber. And although now it adds a windshield to protect the driver and passenger, the increase in this figure is insignificant, since according to the brand it remains at about 20 kilos.

This data is impressive, especially if we take into account that it's not just a windshield. For added convenience, this item It has windshield wipers with rain sensor and washing jets. But in addition, it is heated (for cold climate areas) and also has sunshades. However, every gain has a loss, and in this case, it is the complex and effective Active Air Management System which boasts the original Elva.

Here is the McLaren Elva: 815 hp without roof or windshield

However, those responsible for McLaren announce that, although the windshield offers greater protection, it does not reduce the levels of emotion at all. As they explain, the acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour is kept in the 2,8 seconds for both body versions. This is because it maintains the 4.0 V8 twin-turbocharged engine in a central position and 815 hp with a minimum dry weight of less than 1.300 kilos.

As for its aesthetics, the McLaren Elva with windshield is decorated by McLaren Special Operations (MSO). With it, they want to pay homage to the legendary racing cars of Bruce McLaren. To do this, its bodywork is dressed in the Satin House Blue tone and elements reminiscent of the McLaren-Elva racing cars of the 60s. Of course, do not expect it to include a roof, side or rear windows, because that will not happen.

When will the Elva with a windshield hit the market?

Finally, indicate that the first copies of the McLaren Elva with windshield will be delivered to customers later this year. With this technical modification they will be able to sell it in the United States and other countries, making its success so that it can now take off. Don't you think?
