A little over a year ago, the McLaren 650S. This supercar came as an evolution of the McLaren-MP4 12C, a model that was taken as a base and that excels in practically all its aspects. Although this model has not been on the market for long, it seems that the manufacturer from Woking is thinking of developing his successor, which would arrive in 2018.
This project is known internally as P14 and it can mark a before and after in the British brand. Although it will be introduced as a completely new model, it really takes advantage of the carbon fiber chassis and engine. 8-liter V3,8 of the 650S. Where the greatest revolution will come will be in the design section. According to Frank Stephenson, McLaren Design Director, the new model will be "even crazier" than the McLaren P1.
This could be translated as the introduction of a new design language, more extreme than the current one and will mark the line of the next models. It will also have the objective of surpassing the Ferrari 488 GTB. In the brand they believe that it is the rival to beat and for this the power would be raised from the 650 horses that the 650S has to about 670 horses, equaling the 488 GTB and still below the McLaren 675LT.
However, since this model is limited to 500 units and its entire production has already been sold, a higher power increase. The benefits of the P14 will also be increased and with complete certainty the new model will do the 0 to 100 km / h in less than three seconds and will reach a maximum speed higher than 330 km/h.
As in the current one, the successor to the 650S will have a version Coupe and a Spider. The convertible will feature a retractable hardtop and will likely be unveiled a year later than the Coupé due to McLaren's launch strategies. The new model will arrive on the market with a higher price than the 650S, so it will be above the $250.000.
