Next year sees the end of production of the Mclaren SLR and also signals the end of the the collaboration between Mercedes and Mclaren as each will create their own successor. Mclaren has been very secretive around the project, codenamde P11.The new mid-engined car will directly compete with the Ferrari F430 although the McLaren will be lighter and more compact. Power is said to come close to 550 bhp produced by a V8 engine, which will be produced in England.
Besides, the P11 project will then provide the base for the legendary Mclaren F1 Supercar where the code name is P12. According to internal McLaren documents finalised last year, a V10 engine delivering over 600bhp will power the P12. The rest of the car will be stripped down and re-engineered for ultimate weight saving.
