McLaren Planning for Hybrids

The good thing about McLaren is they continue to hang around and create epic hypercars. Everyone should thank them for the engineering marvel that was the F1 and their efforts in Formula One. Mercecedes should be thankful for the SLR McLaren. The question now remains, with the automotive industry going green, will there be any space left for earth-shaking hypercars – which is the real business of McLaren. In the works are the P11 (pictured) and P12 cars that McLaren have been working on since breaking ties with Mercedes. McLaren Chairman Ron Dennis unveiled plans for a new facility to build a new range. Rumors

have been abound whether or not McLaren will be factoring in efficiency in their designs. The much-awaited 500-hp P11 is rumored to have a hybrid system but remain as speculation. Hybrids might be part of post-P11 McLarens. But what’s certain is that McLaren is factoring hybrid system into their plans. “It (hybrid technology) is something we want as a forward-thinking, technology-driven company. We have been considering it for future projects. All the advert means is that we are looking for a senior engineer in powertrain hybrid technology. Read into it what you will.”
