Track22. Not the name of a special edition 650S or new Sports Series" car, but McLaren"s big, grand plan to bring 15 new supercars into the world by the year 2022.Not only that, but the company has also announced it"s testing an all-electric future version of the P1.Speaking at the Geneva Motor Show, McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt laid out his grand plan to boost McLaren"s output quite considerably over the next six years. It involves the spend of some 1,000,000,000 to develop two-seater sports and supercars and supercars only. No SUVs, no four-door saloons.A few of these cars have already been confirmed; following the announcement of the 570GT at this year"s show, McLaren will add a Spider to the Sports Series family in 2017. You know the 675LT and 675LT Spider? The success of those two cars which have all sold out means McLaren will roll out the LT" name as a track-focused sub brand with more models in the future.Then comes the science lesson that is the P1. Along with being a 903bhp petrol-electric kick to physics, the hybrid McLaren P1 is also a rolling laboratory. So at least half of McLaren"s future output will be hybridised by 2022.
