McLaren Has Confirmed Its Fastest Road-Legal Car Ever

McLaren has confirmed the most extreme road-legal car in its history. Project P15, of which we brought you some details three months ago, will be even faster on track than the P1.

This will be the next new McLaren to arrive, beating the three-seat Project BP23 to the punch. Both, however, will be part of the Ultimate Series, McLaren’s fastest and most extreme cars.

P15, which will be a hyper-focused road-legal track car, will sacrifice everyday usability in favour of absolute performance, says McLaren. It will deliver “the most intensive driver experience around a circuit.” Design the company calls “brutal” will place going holy-mother-of-God fast at the very forefront of its aims.

For now, the limit of our fresh insight is this picture of a triple-hexagonal exhaust, over which we’re drooling heavily. McLaren has also confirmed that more details will be released before the end of this year. We can’t wait for those.

“P15, which will be a hyper-focused road-legal track car, will sacrifice everyday usability in favour of absolute performance, says McLaren.”

They’re going to remove the ventilated seats, automatic climate control and door handles and call it “hyper-focused car”

This shows that screaming gas burners are not dead yet😁

Pure Internal combustion reigns again

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Although it sacrifices everyday usability, someone will still to try using it everyday to end up complaining.

V12?

This guy would approve if it was called “project p45”..

Y do all new McLarens look virtually the same?

This I want to see. Mclaren’s current ‘Ultimate Series’ track car is the P1 GTR and thats not been called ‘brutal’ by the dev team.

I just know this’ll be amazing. Perhaps the M840T will be boosted to something stupid like 900hp+, or maybe even a turbo V12?? But looks like it’s based on the 650S/675LT rather than the 720S as I’d expect.

Also, this car will have the unfortunate claim of being the worst-sounding car with three exhausts in a triangle.
