Open Top Motoring Rarely Looks This Good<\/h2>\n

We reported on the fact that McLaren<\/a> was working on a speedster model to join its Ultimate Series of cars, and now we have an official image. The car looks absolutely amazing. The sleek two-seat model has yet to earn a name.<\/strong> The folks at McLaren haven’t given it one just yet, but all you need to know is it’s a speedster. <\/p>\n

The car is focused on and designed for on-road use. With that said, it would do just fine on a racetrack, just like any of the other Ultimate Series cars from the company. McLaren plans only to build 399 versions of the car.<\/strong> It will be priced somewhere between $1 million and $2.25 million, according to Motor Authority<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The new speedster model blends McLaren’s current styling and design elements with classic speedster proportions. The end result is a handsome machine. The engine will be the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8. With that engine installed, you can expect 789 hp. <\/strong><\/p>\n

With few other speedsters out there, and the low volume production number McLaren should have no problem selling the speedster. Ferrari and Porsche are the other high-end automakers with speedsters at the moment.<\/strong> We wouldn’t mind seeing more models come out at a later date from other automakers, though. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
