迈凯轮近日向公众展示了其下一代旗舰级车型Ultimate系列的测试车,预计该车将成为车厂标志性的F1的后继车型。该车内部开发代号为BP23,不过这辆车采用了720S的车身。该车最大变化是采用了中置驾驶员座椅,重新恢复的F1赛车的1+2座椅布局。虽然车厂并未透露该车更多细节,但表示BP23将是“史上最快车型”。明年是F1创造时速240英里(约合386公里)纪录20周年,而目前的P1经过电子限速后的最高时速为217英里(约合349公里)。BP23采用了混合动力,很可能采用双电机驱动前轮。该车将只生产106辆,由MSO(McLaren Special Operations )生产,预计售价将达到七位数。
McLaren shows test mule for BP23 flagship Ultimate Series
McLaren has revealed a test mule for its next flagship Ultimate Series model, expected to serve as a spiritual successor to the company's iconic F1.
Known by the development monicker BP23, the early test mule is currently shrouded in a 720S body. Images show the most striking difference, however, with a centrally positioned driver seat that revives the F1's 1+2 layout.
Full details are being kept quiet, but McLaren promises the BP23 will be its "fastest ever." Next year marks two decades since the F1 crushed rivals with a 240-mph run. The recent P1 is electronically limited to 217 mph.
The BP23 will have a hybrid powertrain, likely employing two electric motors to drive the front wheels.
Only 106 units will be released, each manufactured by McLaren Special Operations with a seven-figure price tag.
