P12 Project

stickshift · 06-30-2010, 10:09 AM

Latest rumor is that the P12 project is a go and will have a 600 bhp V10 engine. Styling is said to closely follow the McLaren F1. Launch date is targetted for 2012. Anyone have any more info?

I haven't heard much new leaks yet but am prowling for more info myself. Mid engine V10? Nice! That combo worked very well on the Porsche Carrera GT.

I have heard that internally the goal is to top the performance of Ferrari's Enzo replacement.

I have heard that this is definitely going forward.

Does McLaren use the Ascari track near Ronda for testing?

The exotic car world is going to get exciting. Looking forward to the V10.

Given the original F1's success at Le Mans, prehaps a McLaren Le Mans (similar to the Ferrari Daytona) would be in order. It would also be great to see McLaren back at Le Mans.

I was hoping to see a V10 or V12.

or at least a detuned version of the V8 in the current McLaren F1 cars.

1000 kg should be the target.

Is TAG talking about the Ferrari or the Mclaren? The post he quoted mentions both, and the Enzo replacement is supposed have a V8TT also.

I wouldn't think the V8s in the current F1 cars have enough torque for a road car.
