McLaren 750S replacement will switch to hybrid V8 power | Evo

McLaren has renewed its partnership with engine-supplier Ricardo, which will build a new hybrid V8 to power the firm’s future models -

back in 2011. Since then, it has produced the 4-litre M840T engine used in the 720S and a host of other McLarens, along with the Artura’s M630 V6.

Specifics of the new hybrid V8 haven’t been announced, and it’s unclear whether it’ll be an all-new unit or a development of the 750S’s motor, which can trace its roots to that of the 12C. To mitigate the weight penalty of the electrical elements, it’s possible that the combustion engine could be downsized and supplemented by the hybrid system to exceed the current car’s 740bhp and 590lb ft outputs.

Whatever the case, the new powertrain will be designed in-house by McLaren and built at Ricardo’s Shoreham production facility. Speaking on the partnership, McLaren Automotive CEO Michael Leiters said: ‘Our new high-performance, hybrid V8 powertrain will form an integral part of McLaren’s next generation product line-up delivering best-in-class performance and thrilling driver engagement.
