McLaren reveals a new lightweight vehicle architecture to underpin its future electrified cars, with a PHEV McLaren Supercar expected in 2021.

The new McLaren Speedtail – McLaren’s spiritual successor to the McLaren F1 – hits 250mph in a series of 30 runs at the Kennedy Space Centre.

McLaren announces new ULTIMATE Series Roadster at Pebble Beach
McLaren has announced a new Roadster to slot in to the Ultimate Series bracket – like the Senna and Speedtail – arriving in 2020.
