On the announcement of the project, McLaren Automotive Chief Executive Officer, Mike Flewitt, said: “BP23 will borrow the three-seat layout with the central driving position made famous by the iconic McLaren F1, and it will be housed in a streamlined, shrink-wrapped carbon fiber body of great elegance. A hybrid powertrain will make it one of the most powerful McLarens created but the car will also deliver high levels of refinement.”

With the design well underway, output of the Hyper GT has been capped at a special 106 units to mimic the production run and pay homage to the McLaren F1. While all the switchgear will be bespoke, future owners will work alongside MSO to create their own cars.

Just like the McLaren F1 and all of McLaren Automotive’s road and track cars, the car will feature dihedral doors, but for BP23, the doors will be powered for the first time with apertures extending into the roof.
While that’s all for now, further details of McLaren’s newest model will be released closed to the launch date.
