McLaren P11 Spied

Production of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren ends in May. And after the ultra-exclusive Stirling Moss edition runs through December, the partnership between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren will cease as well. Without a couple dozen SLRs taking space in the facility, McLaren will have some free time on its hands. What's a Formula 1-inspired company to do? Build another supercar, of course.

To this end, expect plenty of lightweight and high-performance goodies trickled down from McLaren's Formula 1 endeavors, including carbon ceramic brakes, an automated transmission, and extensive use of carbon fiber. While no concrete details of the powerplant have emerged, reports peg Mercedes as the car's engine supplier, with the company's 6.2-liter V-8 as a prime choice. Expect as much as 600 horsepower from the engine.
