The legendary car maker McLaren Automotive returns with a plug-in hybrid hyper-car as the successor for the McLaren F1. McLaren say that is was “Designed By Air” and it is based off of the MP4-12C, but comparing them on the track definitely won’t be a fair race. The headlights are based on the McLaren logo, it has some of the freshest taillights we have seen and a massive adjustable spoiler. Be advised to own this McLaren you will need US$1,350,000.
