McLaren: hybrid technology for British sport

McLaren may introduce its hybrid cars. This will obviously place a mechanism to improve performance along the lines of Kers used in Formula 1 (will return in 2011) that Ferrari and BMW are officially studying. The house, for now, does not confirm the rumors, but at the same time is looking for an expert in hybrid and has every intention of developing their own system optimized. Moreover, the MP4-12C , all components were designed by the white paper, including engine and transmission, the pride of the house Woking. With one of the most serious competitors, see Ferrari, already launched in the research, it is inevitable that McLaren takes this road, especially now that he has declared ambitions to market and is investing in new production facility.


Knowing the thoroughness and philosophy McLaren, we can expect a rational downsizing of all components, depending on the amount of horses and kg of any hybrid system to maintain a high level of performance, and reducing fuel consumption and emissions , an argument should not be underestimated even in supercars today, will follow. Given the recent announcements about the future five new models arriving , it is also possible that the hybrid is destined to become a sport in itself, with size and performance below the MP4-12C and a different business philosophy.
