McLaren Ultimate Series

  • Teaser for McLaren P15 supercar debuting in first quarter of 2018

    McLaren is working on a new addition to its flagship Ultimate Series range, and Wednesday we received the first details from the company along with a teaser shot of the car’s exhaust tips. The new car, code-named the P15, is a separate model to the upcoming F1 successor, itself code-named the BP23. Whereas the BP23 is all about grand touring, the P15 will be McLaren’s most track-oriented road car to date. We’ve heard it will be the fastest, too, eclipsing the speed of even the P1 hypercar. Since it will be road legal, it won’t be quite as extreme as another Ultimate...

  • McLaren P1 LM loaded onto a truck at the Nürburgring

If your racing vehicle is a McLaren P1 LM, the procedure for getting to and from the truck is a bit more arduous.
