This Shadowy Two-Seat Roadster Will Be McLaren's Lightest Car Yet-June 2024

Lightened for effect.

McLaren is busy building a portfolio of models to meet every customer’s needs, from the super rich to the ultra rich. From the to the brutal speed of the , the British automaker has something for everyone desperate to speed through those embarrassingly tacky upper-middle class neighborhoods to their double-gated driveways as quickly as possible. And today at , the carmaker announced it’s bringing a track-focused roadster on board as well.

As and other outlets report, the car is the latest edition to McLaren’s Ultimate Series, which includes the delightfully bananas and the somehow even quicker and. It’s still pretty mysterious as we don’t even know its name yet. All we have is the shadowy image of the sleek car you see above, which most notably doesn’t include a windshield.

Even though the roadster will be more geared towards being a fun driver than a track beast, it is also getting the Senna’s 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8. the new roadster is its lightest car to date, and I’m eager to find out what the final weight figures will look like.

We mere mortals should start saving our pennies now, as the new roadster will fit in between the McLaren Senna at $958,966 and the Speedtail at $2,500,000. That’s quite a range.

But a McLaren roadster is definitely one of those situations where honey, if you have to ask the cost, you can’t afford it.

This Is a Hilariously Short Trail of Possible Hit-and-Run Evidence
If you hit a car and then just try to drive away like nothing happened, you suck. Don’t do that. If you have accepted the fact that you do, in fact, suck, and decide to be shitty and drive away, though, you may want to be somewhat less dumb...
