McLaren's new second generation Super Series sports car will be an upgraded version of its 650S, which was launched in 2014. The new improved and hyped up version will sport an all carbon fiber body with some metal features. This carbon fiber body is dubbed as MonoCage II.
What is it about the MonoCage II that is already getting car aficionados excited over it? Firstly, the all carbon fiber body makes this beauty much lighter - about 18 kg. less than the current McLaren 650S or about 1,283 kg, according to Wheels.
Likewise, the new McLaren 650S has a lower center of gravity, much lower than the ground-hugging current 650S model. This produces less drag and makes up for faster speed than the current one.
Another plus point for our upgraded, already being McLaren 650S called P14, is a roomier cabin which has more room for leg stretching. Moreover, it has lower doorsill, hence the lower center of gravity which gives the rider a better view of things from within the cabin.
Reports indicate that the P14 will be initially launched with a conventional powertrain, and then followed by a hybrid model. This improved McLaren 650S is part of a Super Series of McLaren sports cars that started in 2011 with the MP4-12C. It was further upgraded to 650S launched in 2014.
In 2015, McLaren again released a limited edition 675LT which was a high performance, nostalgic version of the long-tail McLaren F1 race cars. Currently, all Super Series are marketed as coupes and convertibles.
Spy cameras have spotted this new upgrade of the McLaren 650S but everyone has to wait until March. The P14 is the first of 15 new cars to be launched under the company's Track22 Business Plan - and the first second generation car built from an existing McLaren sports car.
