Rendering – Matt Williams’ 2012 Mclaren F1 successor

According to the reliable-as-refrigerators Autocar UK, Mclaren is working on the successor to the iconic Mclaren F1 and by as early as 2012, it will hit roads.

Mclaren Automotive has just bought out the MP4-12C supercar and its next project, the 2012 Mclaren F1, will share many similarities with it.

A mid mounted engine and a carbon fiber monocoque is what’s being talked about. Being a hypercar, weight will be as low as possible. Looks will be distinctive, and the price tag will not make you smile.

What Matt Williams has projected is his idea of the 2012 Mclaren F1. The design shown here is not production ready. William’s has taken inspiration from Paganis and the tail of the vehicle is reminiscent of the Ultimate Aero SSC. Both are fast and furious, so we don’t have any complaints!

Williams’ has also scrapped the centrally-mounted driver seat in favor of the conventional twin-seat cockpit. There are certain styling elements carried over from the Mclaren F1 like the vent on the hood, and the air ducts on the front bumper.

Will the 2012 F1 look lean, compact and light like the F1? Or will it be muscular and voluminous like the Bugatti Veyron?
