Remember the McLaren F1? Of course you do. And so, helpfully, does McLaren. It has teased its next model "the world"s first Hyper-GT" and this first, bird"s-eye image (just about) reveals it borrows the F1"s famous three-seat layout. Wow.It"s called the BP23 (Bespoke Project 2, 3 seats) and it will be built by McLaren"s specialist MSO division. Just 106 will be made (to match F1 production), and as is the way these days, all have been pre-sold already.McLaren Automotive CEO Mike Flewitt said this: "We are calling BP23 a Hyper-GT" because it"s a car designed for longer journeys but with the high levels of performance and driver engagement expected of any McLaren."A hybrid powertrain will make it one of the most powerful McLarens yet created but the car will also deliver the highest levels of refinement, enabling significant journeys to be undertaken with up to three people aboard."
