Modern McLaren F1 rendered speculation
August 19, 2008 by George Skentzos
For a while, the McLaren F1 was the fastest car money could buy, powered by a 500kW V12 good for a top speed of 362km/h.
With a revival of the icon confirmed to be in the works, renderings have surfaced on a Slovenian website apparently of the next-generation McLaren F1.
In collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, the new model is expected to carry the same AMG V8 engine from the soon-to-be discontinued McLaren SLR roadster.
The unique centre driving position could also be lost in favour of a more contemporary two-seater layout.
Details remain scarce, although among current speculation surprisingly the Veyron has not been mentioned, suggesting perhaps the Veyron’s 407km/h bragging right is not a performance goal.
However, like most early renderings this could be nothing more than the work of a talented amateur – only time will tell.

It looks like the worst bits off an Ausdi R8 crossed with a new Bolwell Nagari. ie ugly.
Aston Martin’s One-77 would have to be the pic over this.
Unless it can beat the original (which was hell-fast), i dont think they should revive the name. Plus i always thought the 3-seater layout was cool.
I think it looks very similar to the NSX concept that Honda brought out a few years back. Too similar in fact.
I’d hate to buy a Mclaren (not that it’d ever happen) and have people ask me if its the new Honda…
McLaren have already said that their next car would be a competitor for the 430 / Gallardo and not the Veyron. The story has been in british mags for months…
It’s kinda eww and ehh all rolled into one.
