A new McLaren halo hypercar is expected to launch early next decade and while we don’t know if it’ll be hybrid or all-electric, there’s no doubt it’ll feature a host of cutting edge technologies.
In an effort to give us a taste of what the car could look like, car designer Justin Hyungjung has created numerous renderings of a hypercar that takes design inspiration from modern McLarens and those of the past in a sleek package that certainly looks the part.
The elongated shape of the McLaren F1 GTR Longtail has played a key role in the vehicle’s design and is particularly evident with the long front and rear overhangs. Elsewhere, the car adopts thin LED headlights and taillights and a windshield that seamlessly flows down to the hood and through to the front bumper.
While the front is cool, it is the rear where all the action is happening. Some inspiration has clearly been taken from the Aston Martin Valkyrie with a prominent wing between the wheel arches, two individual diffuser fins and huge openings to allow for underfloor aerodynamics and huge levels of downforce.
Like the F1 and the upcoming BP23, the hypercar adopts a 3-seat interior layout and while the brand’s next hypercar may not look anything like this, it is intriguing to see one direction McLaren could go.
