McLaren are currently developing two new models, first up will come the successor to the Mercedes McLaren SLR – codenamed F11 which is expected to be launched in 2010. We will then see the McLaren F1 successor which is only known by its codename F12 at the moment.
McLaren are currently developing a new engine based on the current power unit found in the SLR. Rumours state the cylinder count could be increased from the current V8 to become a V10, power output figure should be in the region of 600bhp – that would be a lower than the current SLR. To counter this, the supercar maker will re-engineer and strip down the model to drop the overall weight to create the ultimate driving machine.
A group of renderings have surfaced on Slovenian automotive site avtmanija.com of what could be the McLaren F2 – successor to the all conquering Mclaren F1. Of course the jury is still out on this one, so we will leave it to our highly intelligent user base to offer their opinions below.
