The British car firm is getting ready to redefine the supercar class with the new P11. This is McLaren’s new baby supercar, transferring the excitement of the legendary original F1 road model into a smaller and less expensive package.

The car is due on sale in 2010, aiming for Ferrari’s F430 and the Lamborghini Gallardo with a price tag of between £150,000 and £200,000.

It’s not a joint venture,  the car is the work of engineers at the Formula One team’s factory in Woking. The P11 will weigh around 1,250kg  and a mid-mounted 6.2-litre V8 sourced from F1 engine supplier Mercedes will produce at least 500bhp.
