P 13 Project

Only that the project is called P8 or P9.. .

Is a test mule running yet?

P8 mule.. .

According to my humble information a couple of test mules are up and running.. . Seems as Ultima have been helping out with a few chassis once again. But this time with a small block engine instead of the MAC F1:s Big Block Chevy Power.. .

Any idea if they will develop an inhouse engine or continue to source one from the outside?

This one is definitely being developed as the 911 killer.

Its defiantly happening, When i was at the MTC last month they confirmed it was a go, even showed me the room it was in ( but would not open the door for me ) really don't want to elaborate on the other stuff i was told as most of it will change I'm sure. But for sure it is going after the 911, just as
12C is against the 458 and the hyper car against the F70 and Bugatti cars.
Now weather that means it will have multiple variants just like the 911 does remains to be seen..but the wizards at MTC are driving mules for a while now...

N/A 3.8 V8 I'd say....

Thats my understanding for one of the variants for sure. Like i said there might be a couple of different ones

P13 - have heard 2.8l - 3l 6 cylinder twin turbo.

Maybe they are going to do a N/A and a turbo varient just like Porsche

Interesting P13 comments from Frank Stephenson

A couple of excerpts from an interview with Gulf Weekly.

“I promise you, our entry-level McLaren will be awe-inspiring. The P13 will make people stand up and take notice. Just watch out Porsche!”

“The P13 will revolutionise the segment. It will be nothing like the 911 – that would be like comparing chocolate with vanilla. Both are popular flavours but you know in your heart which one you prefer.”

Nobody Knows wether the p12 or p13 is first,we only know that Chris goodwin
has said he was testing both in the sim late last year and that we should have seem some mules by now

I drive around the area near the factory on a daily basis and have not seen any mules for quite some time.
