Ada Comments: Nowadays, supercars are also starting the process of electrification, and both Ferrari and Porsche have launched their own hybrid models. With the support of electric motors, the acceleration performance of hybrid vehicles is also better than that of fuel vehicles with the same displacement. It is precisely because of the advantages of hybrid models that McLaren launched its own new hybrid sports car.
A few days ago, a set of patent drawings of McLaren's new hybrid sports car were exposed from overseas media. The new car is very likely to replace the 570S as the entry-level sports car of the McLaren family. The new car is expected to be launched as soon as the first half of 2021.
In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car adopts the McLaren family design, and the addition of aerodynamic kits makes it more combat-like. The headlights are obviously positioned further back, and their shape has become slimmer. The aerodynamic kit of the front lip is more complex in shape and is expected to produce better effects than the 570S. The side of the car body presents a swooping posture, and there are two large air inlets behind the door. The grille area at the rear of the car is larger than that of the 570S. The carbon fiber rear wing on the 570S has been cancelled, but an optional rear wing may be provided after the official launch.

In terms of power, McLaren has not yet disclosed the power information of the new car. Refer to the power configuration of the 570S. The power of the 570S comes from a 3.8T twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a maximum power of 419kW (570PS) and a peak torque of 600N·m. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
