McLaren automotive technology and model developments

Overview

V Engineering has announced ‘Project Continuum’, a development program to create a high-voltage hybrid battery solution for the McLaren P1. This initiative aims to address the degradation of original battery cells from around 2010. The new plug-and-play solution uses high-performance lithium-ion modules to increase energy storage capacity to 12.4 kWh while reducing weight by approximately 23 kilograms.

Separately, reports indicate McLaren is developing a new mid-engined hybrid supercar under the designation P34. This upcoming model is expected to feature a twin-turbocharged V6 engine with hybrid assistance, potentially producing 810 hp. The vehicle may draw design inspiration from the McLaren F1 and is expected to be positioned at a price point of approximately $313,000.
