McLaren P1

McLaren Automotive has confirmed its upcoming flagship – dubbed Speedtail – will be revealed on October 26. The new 'Hyper-GT' will be unveiled on the company's website at 13:00 BST (11:00PM Australian Eastern Standard Time), the Speedtail is claimed to be the fastest McLaren ever, with a top speed of over 243mph (391+km/h).

UK engineering firm Lanzante has revealed its McLaren P1 GT Longtail at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, complete with a bespoke exterior and interior over the 'standard' version of the British hypercar. Full details of the special model are still to be confirmed, but we can see that the P1 GT Longtail gets a new aero package and an even larger fixed rear wing – the latter sitting atop a lengthened tail, hence the name.

Nico Rosberg has a bit of time on his hands now. Having won the Formula 1 World Championship in 2016, the German driver promptly retired, leaving his seat free for Valtteri Bottas. Instead of giving Lewis Hamilton a hard time on track, Rosberg is spending his time as a commentator and, as you can see here, making videos for YouTube.

Sales of the heroic McLaren P1 ended in late 2013, mere months after the $2 million dollar ‘hypercar’ first went on sale to only the most well-heeled of buyers. Now, two years later, production of McLaren’s halo offering has wrapped up, with the 375th and final custom-built example rolling off the production line this week.

A British firm, with deep links to McLaren, is offering owners of the track-only McLaren P1 GTR a chance to enjoy their hyper-hypercar on public roads. According to Autocar, Lanzante will help owners of the track-only McLaren P1 GTR make their cars legal for use on public roads.
