NEW MCLAREN FOR 2018 SUPERCAR

Menu News Now McLaren planning all-new supercar for 2018 August 3, 2015, 12:31 pm by Drew Johnson PrevNext McLaren is working on its 650S replacement. McLaren is planning to replace its current 650S model with an all-new supercar by 2018, a new report finds. MCLAREN 650S MSRP $265,500 Get More Car Info McLaren is hellbent on keeping its model lineup fresh, and the introduction of an all-new model in about three year's time will adhere to that plan. The new model, internally known as the P14, will replace the 650S, which itself replaced the 12C in 2014. According to Autocar, the P14 will retain McLaren's carbon fiber tub and 3.8L twin-turbocharged V8, but the two-door will be given a radical design language that will set the mold for all future McLaren vehicles. Frank Stephenson, McLaren's design director, described the P14's styling as "even crazier" than that of the P1 supercar. The P14 will initially launch as a coupe, but a Spider with a folding hardtop will be offered about a year later. That deviates from McLaren's typical launch cadence, which usually sees the Spider introduced alongside the coupe. Total output should grow slightly from today's 650 horsepower in the 650S to about 660 horsepower in the P14. The P14 will be capable of accelerating from 0-60 in under 3 seconds and hitting a top speed in excess of 205mph. The P14 will directly target the Ferrari 488 GTB. When it finally lands in 2018, look for the P14 to carry a prices take slightly higher than that of the $265,500 650S.
