Size wise, the P11 should slot between the Audi TT and R8.
The original F1 — designed by Formula One designer Gordon Murray — had three seats and was capable or hitting 241 mph, thanks to its BMW-sourced V12 engine. Fewer than 100 were ever built.
According to British magazine CAR, the P11 promises to be even faster than the F1 and is expected to bow in the fall of 2010.
McLaren recently broke ties with Mercedes after co-creating the SLR supercar. Mercedes has since decide to create the successor to the SLR — the SLC – with a partnership between Mercedes/AMG and H.W.A..
