McLaren has released yet another teaser image of its upcoming new sports car. Previously referred to only by its internal codename ‘P13’, the vehicle will be known as the McLaren Sports Series. When launched, the upcoming model will join the existing McLaren range and will be positioned below the 650S, bringing the company’s famed credentials to the sports car segment for the first time.
The Sports Series is expected to mark its arrival at the 2015 New York Auto Show in April next year. Like the 650S and the flagship P1, it will feature a carbon fibre chassis and a mid-mounted V8 engine. The firepower will be a detuned version of the 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 engine that powers the 650S. Inevitably, the Sports Series will compete with the most popular sports car of all time – the Porsche 911.
McLaren has already made it official that the Sports Series will be launched in the second quarter of 2015. Once launched, it will be sold alongside the 650S, 650S Spider and the P1 hyper car.
