Summary

  • McLaren plans to launch a fully electric successor to the P1 by the end of the decade, prioritizing extreme weight saving over extreme power.
  • The company aims to make a supercar comparable in weight to its 750 range, rather than pursuing the 2,000 hp seen in other electric performance cars.
  • While McLaren acknowledges the weight disadvantage of electric cars, it believes it can develop lighter, high-performance EVs that outperform internal combustion engine vehicles in terms of handling.
