McLaren has confirmed it will launch a V8 hybrid supercar as it looks to hybridise 90% of its line-up by 2028
These incoming hybrid cars will also continue to focus on lightness and be “really exciting projects”, he added, but stopped short of confirming any specific technical targets. McLaren ArturaIt is not yet confirmed whether the new system will be a full, mild or plug-in hybrid. The Artura is a PHEV with 19 miles of electric-only range, which is expected to be bettered in the next generation.
This transition to hybrid cars, rather than a straight jump to EVs, is due to the current technology not being “matured” enough to offer what is needed for an electric supercar, Leiters told the event. He said: “Battery tech is not very mature for supercars as this is all about lightweightness. Supercars are all about emotions and this is not deliverable [with current technology].
“If we take the 750S, it is 200kg lighter than the best competitor. If we go for an EV, we want to do something that is comparable with the car we have today; this is something not available today and something we need to develop.”
