At the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, McLaren unveiled the latest addition to its lineup: the new P1 supercar . Now, the company announced plans to unveil a new sports car each year. The first to arrive will be placed under the current MP4-12C . Codenamed "Sports Series," this new sports car will be a little bit more practical than the 12C; "practical" meaning it will have a trunk, of course.
The new Sports Series will take aim at the Porsche 911 and models like it, and McLaren will price it a little under $200k. While no significant details have been revealed, it is rumored that the upcoming Sports Series will be powered by a de-tuned version of the twin-turbo V-8 engine used in the 12C. We expect an output somewhere in the 500-horsepower area. On the outside, the Sports Series will feature design elements seen on the recently unveiled P1.
The new Sports Series will arrive in 2014, and McLaren hopes to sell around 2,000 to 2,500 units per year globally.
Updated 01/15/2015: McLaren unveiled a new teaser image showing the carbon-fiber tub of its future Sports Series model. Also, it called its future model "a true McLaren for the sports car enthusiast," making our mouths a little drooly. Check out the image after the jump.
