"McLaren announces V8 hybrid deal
10th May 2023
Russell Campbell
McLaren Automotive has announced a multi-year partnership with Ricardo to manufacture its next-generation V8 power units as part of a long-term investment deal.
McLaren’s new V8 has been designed in-house and will power a new generation of lightweight hybrid supercars that form part of the company’s Future of Performance strategy.
Ricardo will supply both hybrid and non-hybrid versions of the new motor, making – along with McLaren – further investments into its engine-production facility at Shoreham-by-Sea, 50 miles south of McLaren’s Woking Production Centre.
Ricardo has already built more than 34,000 powertrains for McLaren since the introduction of its first series supercar – the 12C – and it will continue to build both V6 and V8s for the company’s current and future models.

Michael Leiters, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Automotive, said: “Our new high-performance, hybrid V8 powertrain will form an integral part of McLaren’s next-generation product line-up delivering best-in-class performance and thrilling driver engagement.
“This new agreement with Ricardo is, therefore, an important part of our ‘Future of Performance’ strategy and builds on the enduring relationship between the two British companies, providing a boost for jobs and ensuring increased investment in what is a vitally important domestic engineering supply chain for future technologies.”
We’ll bring you full specs on McLaren’s new V8 as soon as we have them."

I really hope its a beautiful car but also a practical useable car. I really hate how the Valkyrie / AMG ONE are amazing technological feats but they aren't cars the owners will take to the coffee shop, go for a long distance drive. I know a guy who got a P1 who drives it A LOT because in low speeds its actually a very tame car. I hope this P1 replacement is going to be something like the F1, P1 in that regard.

I wouldn't worry about that. McLaren has surely learned from the fails of these radical hypercars.
All they need to do with P18 is:
Stay away from people like Newey Keep the powertrain and onboard systems somewhat grounded in reality
For the love of God, don't bolt it directly to the monocoque Apply advanced aero without compromising the entire package Make it exciting, yet practical and easy to live withBTW, a fun fact...

"McLaren’s P1 successor arrives next month!
McLaren has teased its new ‘1’ car to follow the F1 and P1 – and take on Ferrari’s next flagship hypercar.
McLaren isn’t shy when it comes to launching hypercars. In the space of less than a decade it’s given us the Senna, Speedtail, Elva, Sabre and Solus GT, but the launch of a McLaren ‘1’ car – a flagship hypercar at the bleeding edge – doesn’t come around very often.
On 6 October McLaren will pull the covers off the successor to the P1, which McLaren Automotive CEO Michael Leiters describes as 'the next icon, the next benchmark'. Being the son of P1 and grandson of F1, the new car couldn’t have bigger shoes to fill.
Few technical details are known about the new hypercar, but if the P1 is anything to go by, it’ll set a benchmark for future McLarens in its design and engineering philosophy. It’ll almost certainly be a hybrid, furthering McLaren's development of electrified powertrains that began with the P1 and continues with today's Artura. Expect it to push out beyond 1000bhp, surpassing the 903bhp P1.
As for how much the electrical elements of the powertrain will contribute to that figure remains to be seen. Part of what made the P1 so spectacular was how its electric motor served to enhance the performance and response of its V8 engine, rather than take over from it. Battery and motor technology has moved on dramatically since the P1, which could allow McLaren to pursue a similar philosophy but with less weight, more power and more sophisticated electronics.
On the other hand, it could introduce more powerful electrified elements – such as an electrically-driven front axle – to pursue more performance and torque vectoring capabilities (with the penalty of extra weight). If McLaren wants to draw from its Formula 1 efforts for the new hypercar, this approach would bring it in line with the impending 2026 powertrain regulations, which will offer an even energy split between ICE and electric power.
The P1’s combustion engine was a heavy development of the V8 used in the 12C, but given that other hypercar manufacturers – namely Bugatti, GMA and Aston Martin – have invested in bespoke engines for their newest seven-figure hypercars, McLaren could do the same.
As with the P1, aero will form an enormous role in harnessing the new hypercar’s performance, so expect active elements and complex aero channels throughout the design. The body will be carbonfibre, of course (so too the chassis), and the styling will inform the next generation of series production McLarens.
Advancements in the chassis department will complement the aero package, potentially with a next-generation version of the hydraulically cross-linked damper tech that features on the 750S.
The P1 successor will join the likes of the Aston Martin Valkyrie, GMA T.50 and Bugatti Tourbillon in a truly spectacular age of hypercars, soon to be joined by a new flagship from Ferrari."

1400kg seems very light for a hybrid, wonder if that is dry weight. Never the less it will be Effen fast.

It’s not too far off the weight of the Artura and 296 for which the hybrid drivetrain only added 50kg.
