Next-Generation McLaren Project P14 Spotted Testing In The UK

Rumoured to be the replacement for the current 650S, the car codenamed P14 has been spotted in heavy disguise during testing in the UK. Time to see what we can see…

McLaren’s next step in its Super Series has been spotted again in routine testing, and the pictures give us some more clues about what’s under the camouflage.

You’d think the disguise would be more sophisticated than opaque extra panels fixed over the top of the bodywork, but while it looks a bit Batman it does the best job of concealing the shape as much as possible.

We love the twin high-level circular exhausts and the massively sculpted rear haunches, which make the car look like aerodynamics are going to play a bigger part than ever in the car’s design. Our understanding so far is that the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 will remain, but McLaren insiders tell us another engine is in development – although probably not for this car.

What are you hoping to see from the new car? Would more power get you excited, or is it less weight? Or would you change something else?

What do you mean? They’re replacing the 12C in theory as the 650S is just an update. That means it’s really a 5 year old car.

He said for 2018.
But it is the 12C chassis, perhaps the new car will have a new chassis

It’s a McLaren… Who’s worrying about resale value?

Salomondrin made a video about it and how early mclaren owners are pretty pissed to have seen their cars tank so people do seem to care, and honestly i’m no mclaren expert, i knew the 650s was to phase out the 12c but i would’ve thought they’d have at least changed the chassis and engine components instead of just renaming it something else, it’s as if ferrari named the 458 speciale the 488 instead, same car new name, kinda confusing.

650S is quite outdated to be honest

Before anyone posts this overused piece of trash meme, I’m going to post it before someone else does. Don’t get me wrong I dislike this meme as much as anyone else does, but I’m doing it for a valid reason https://cdn.meme.am/cache/instances/folder621/500x/56948621.jpg

So, 12c, 650s, and 675lt devalues on the way…. probably…

The 675lt will infact go up in value.
