A forthcoming three-seat sports car with a hybrid powertrain will be the most powerful and most aerodynamic road-going McLaren ever.

The luxurious ‘Hyper-GT’ car - codenamed BP23 - has been teased with the release of a new design sketch. Just 106 examples (the same volume as the McLaren F1) will be made by McLaren’s bespoke Special Operations department (MSO) – and all are pre-sold.

Development of BP23 is currently underway, and the new model will join McLaren’s Ultimate Series product family. BP23 owners will work alongside MSO to select colours, trim materials and other points of personalisation unique to them. 

The BP23 codename is taken from the car being MSO’s second Bespoke project and it having three seats. The first examples are expected to be delivered in 2019.
