    McLaren Creating P1 Beating P15 Hypercar To Launch This Year

    We already know about the McLaren three-seater BP23 hyper-GT project in development but a recent report from Autocar suggests that we will be getting an Ultimate Series McLaren P1 replacement first.

    Autocar mentioned that they will launch the most extreme road car in its history later this year — and it is poised to eclipse all but the McLaren P1 GTR for on-track performance.

    The car is being developed under the project name ‘P15’ and the team of engineers has been given a brief to create “the most extreme, track-focused road car”.

    Power is expected to come from a modified version of the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 to produce around 790 horsepower. This powerplant is likely to be linked to a tweaked version of the seven-speed gearbox in the 720S. Now if you know your numbers, you will know that the P1’s petrol engine produces 727 horsepower but when combined with the electric motor can push out 903 hp. So how can this be better than the P1?

    Te P15 is  expected to weigh less than 1300kg which is a substantial saving over the 1547kg P1. This would give the new car a power-to-weight ratio that eclipses the P1’s 647bhp per tonne.

    • It will be faster than the 720S over a quarter-mile
    • 0 to 100 km/h around 2.7 seconds
    • Bodywork has been used only where it delivers a performance
    • Apparently limited to 500 units
    • Starting prices will be about £700,000
    • Public debut for P15 is anticipated for the Geneva motor show in March 2018

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
