Details are scarce, but at the Geneva show McLaren Automotive CEO Mike Flewitt said the company is working on a grand touring car that will “redefine the rules” of grand touring when it is launched. The car’s name and any real details are being released “over the coming months,” McLaren says.
Flewitt notes the new car is the fourth model introduced under the company’s Track25 business plan — the one promising 18 new models and variants — intended to make McLaren’s entire lineup hybrid by 2025. He says the car combines “competition levels of performance with continent-crossing capability,” wrapped in a lightweight body with a spacious interior for the “comfort and space expected of a grand tourer.”
Flewitt goes on to claim the car will “be the lightest of grand tourers and by also having the best power-to-weight ratio, I promise it will be one of the quickest. In addition, it will be the only grand tourer to share its DNA with the 250-mph McLaren Speedtail.”
He said the unnamed car isn’t part of any of the company’s existing model series — it is a unique model.
Hopefully, we'll find out more soon.
