Luxury sportscar and supercar manufacturer McLaren Automotive will be unveiling its first ever Hyper-GT this Friday in London. Unless you’re one of the 106 people who already bought the Speedtail for over US$2 million (S$2.8 million), you’ll have to stream the event from your own computer instead of attending.
This hypercar will be the “first of 18 new cars or derivatives to be announced under the Track25 business plan,” a promise made by McLaren to invest nearly $1.6 billion in the research and development of 18 new vehicles by the end of 2025, and they’re certainly off to a running start.

The top speed of the petrol-electric hybrid is over 243 mph, faster than any McLaren model in existence and a worthy vehicle to stand beside supercars Senna and P1 in the Ultimate Series, a collection that McLaren states on their site is its “technological and power tour de force, pioneering and audacious in every way.”
