This Modified McLaren 720S Is A Development Mule For A Three-Seater Hypercar
Given that there’s a dude sitting slap bang in the middle of it, it’s fairly easy to spot that this is no ordinary McLaren 720S. It’s a development mule for the incoming, three-seater ‘BP23’, and said ‘dude’ in the central driving seat is McLaren test driver Chris Goodwin.
The incoming hypercar is intended to be an homage to the McLaren F1, and will have the same seating arrangement that sees the centrally-mounted driver’s seat flanked by passenger seats set slightly further back.
In terms of technical details, we know precious little, only that it’ll be built around a significantly modified version of McLaren’s monocell carbonfibre tub. It’s also expected to be stupidly quick - Woking is saying it’ll be its fastest ever car when it arrives in 2019.
Just 106 will be made, mirroring the production number of the F1. The price? A mere £2 million a pop…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Apart from the F1, are there any other 3-seaters? (Excluding vans, pick-ups, etc.)

HYPE!!!!!

Center seats mean better weight distribution maybe?
I think the main reason for a centre seat is that the distance between the driver and both sides of the car is the same. So aiming the car over a curb on the track becomes easier…
I got to be the only one here that just is not a fan of the 720s look.
