McLaren names its upcoming P13 sports car the “Sports Series”
McLaren confirmed late last year that a car known as the McLaren P13 is on its way, but now we know that the car will instead be called the McLaren Sports Series and will debut in second-quarter of 2015, according to Car and Driver. Aside from the name change and release date, no new information on the British automaker’s new car was released.
It appears as though McLaren has decided to drop its alphanumeric model-naming scheme in favor of giving each variant of the new Sport Series its own moniker. According to Cars UK, the Sports Series is meant to compete against cars such as the new Mercedes AMG GT and the Porsche 911, and is expected to start at around $190,000.
The announcement was made alongside a cool, if somewhat bizarre teaser video that compares the future supercar to a black swan. According to the video, it serves as a “symbol of a moment that challenges beliefs and turns thinking upside down.” That seems like a really big promise, and with the limited info that’s available on the new vehicles, it’s difficult to tell whether or not McLaren will be able to deliver.
