McLaren admits P1 successor in pipeline

McLaren has found 250 buyers for the P1 hypercar London - Arabstoday British supercar manufacturer McLaren has confirmed that there will be a successor to its forthcoming P1 hypercar. McLaren head of sales and marketing Greg Levine told Autocar Magazine that a replacement is likely after ten years. "The only way a car like the P1 works is by being exclusive and having a short product cycle. After that, you have to step back from the market for a few years. These sort of launches can only happen every ten years or so," he said. According to AOL Cars, McLaren has already found 250 buyers for the P1, of which only 375 units will be produced. McLaren Special Operations has also been busy with the company's 'entry-level' supercar, the 12C, of which around twenty percent of orders specify individual customisation.
