Which is what this car essentially is, as the demand for 100 Aeromax hardtops was just so great that Morgan decided to build another similar model. The Supersports uses the same 4.8-litre V8 as the Aeromax, comes with a wood and leather-covered interior and features a bonded aluminium chassis that is cloaked by superformed aluminium panels.

McLaren P1 performance figures confirmed

McLaren has confirmed performance statistics for its new P1 hybrid hypercar – and the official numbers are frankly amazing.

And it’ll return exceptional efficiency (given the performance) of 34.0mpg combined with 194g/km CO2.
