Currently, the automobile industry is gripped with a lot of uncertainty. Though, the lines still are not that blurry. Earlier in 2020, McLaren representatives mentioned that the 2021 McLaren Hybrid Supercar will be around in the coming year.
And looks like the British automotive manufacturer is going to keep this promise. This is because the very first Hybrid Supercar has is already in the final stages of testing. With such speed of development, we can certainly expect this 2021 McLaren supercar to hit the market in the coming year.

Though, a big number of fans and automobile enthusiasts are not too appreciative of the fact that McLaren is still hiding some details of the supercar. Though, we do know that the 2021 McLaren supercar will feature a V-6 IC engine. Along with that, the number of electric motors is currently not specified.
Furthermore, it has also been promised that this new car will have a pure EV driving mode. With that, this will be the very first hybrid supercar by the company that features a carbon-fiber structure. This structure also being called MCLA, which stands for ‘McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture’.
