McLaren has once again generated interest towards its Sports Series, which will be the entry-level car from McLaren. It will be unveiled in 2015.
The car has been previewed earlier in cryptic videos under the hashtag ‘#blackswanmoments’. Codenamed P13, the Sports Series will be the most affordable McLaren. It is, in essence, a sober version of the brand’s top-of-the-line cars. The Sports Series takes styling cues from the 650S and P1, but will definitely be significantly smaller. It gets a new rear diffuser, distinct taillamps and narrower side vents, but the butterfly doors are retained.
The McLaren Sports Series is likely to be powered by a detuned version of the 3.8-liter V8 twin-turbo from the 650S, and will deliver around 500bhp. It is expected to be capable of a 0-100kph sprint time of around four seconds, while reaching a top speed of around 300kph.
Claimed to be a "pure McLaren", the Sports Series will debut at the New York International Auto Show 2015 in April next year.
