The upcoming Hyper-GT (code-named BP23) will achieve the highest top speed of any McLaren — and capable of exceeding the 243mp/h (391km/h) peak speed of the McLaren F1 roadcar.
This follows the announcement by McLaren Automotive CEO, Mike Flewitt, during the Geneva Motor Show press conference that a public reveal of the car can be expected this year.
It will feature a three-seat cockpit design with a central driving position — the same layout as the F1 — and a petrol-electric hybrid powertrain. The entire BP23 production of 106 examples was allocated before the car was officially announced in November. Production is due to begin at the end of next year. (Staff Report)
