McLaren's 2027-2028 Lineup: What's Confirmed, What Dealers Saw, and What's Still a Rumor

McLaren is preparing the broadest expansion of its lineup since the company began building road cars, and almost everything we know about it comes from dealers rather than from McLaren itself. Automotive News has published two waves of reporting from a global dealer meeting held on November 11, 2025, at the McLaren Creation Centre in Bicester, England: a first round that month, and a second, more detailed round in September 2026. Between them, the reports describe a new mid-engine supercar, a first-ever SUV, and a 2+2 grand tourer. McLaren has not issued a press release about any of these models.

That makes this page a tracker rather than a spec sheet. Here is what McLaren has actually confirmed on the record, what dealers reportedly saw behind closed doors, and where the line between the two sits today.

What McLaren Has Confirmed

The official layer is thinner than the rumor layer, but it exists. CEO Nick Collins told Autocar in April 2026 that full-sized models of every new car McLaren will launch before 2030 have already been shown to dealers, and that all of those cars are planned around combustion powertrains. An electric McLaren, Collins said, will come only when customers want one, and he promised the company would begin to unpack its plan in public from summer 2026.

Two products have since gone public. In July 2026, McLaren revealed the 788HS, the final evolution of the supercar line that began with the 720S and ran through the 765LT and 750S. The official numbers: a 777-hp (788-ps) twin-turbo V8 with 590 lb-ft (800 Nm), zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a claimed 2.8 seconds, and production capped at 200 cars split evenly between coupe and Spider, each finished by McLaren Special Operations. McLaren has not announced 788HS pricing or a delivery date; Autocar has reported a figure of about £450,000. Then, at Monterey Car Week in August, McLaren showed the McL 6GT, a manual-transmission, V8-powered concept inspired by Bruce McLaren's unfinished M6GT project, and said a production version will follow in 2028 as a new tier of car beyond its core range.

The W1 is the other fixed point. The 1,258-hp hybrid hypercar was revealed back in October 2024, all 399 build slots sold out immediately, and deliveries are getting under way in 2026. Everything else on this page is unofficial.

The P34: The Supercar Dealers Say Arrives in 2027

According to the September Automotive News report, relayed by Motor1 and Car and Driver, the car known internally as the P34 is a two-door, mid-engine supercar built around a twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain with a combined output of 810 hp, with one dealer citing roughly 800 lb-ft (1,085 Nm) of torque. Both the engine and the gearbox are said to be developed in-house. The earlier November reporting put the figure at nearly 800 hp and described the system as a mild hybrid, so the exact character of the electrification is still unclear.

The P34 is reportedly longer than the Artura, styled with the McLaren F1 in mind, and finished with a more upscale cabin featuring nappa and aniline leather and a tempered-glass cover over the V6. Dealers were reportedly told to expect a starting price of about $313,000 and a 2027 on-sale date, with McLaren targeting 1,000 units in the first year. For context, Car and Driver listed the Artura at $265,400 and the 750S at $370,600 in late 2025, which would slot the P34 squarely between the two current mid-engine cars.

None of those figures comes from McLaren. Every number attached to the P34, including the output, the price, and the date, traces back to what dealers say they were shown.

The P47: A First SUV in 2028

The bigger departure is the P47, reported as McLaren's first SUV and its first car with four doors and five seats. Per Automotive News, dealers saw a full-size clay model riding on 24-inch wheels, with proportions described as similar to a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT but larger. The reported powertrain is a V8 hybrid with all-wheel drive, and one retailer specified it will not be a plug-in hybrid; the electric assistance is said to be tuned for performance rather than range.

Attendees described a wagon-like silhouette with split headlights mounted flush with the body, a large rear spoiler and diffuser, and an indented spine running the length of the car. Timing is reportedly 2028. There is no reported price, no named factory, and no market plan, and McLaren has never publicly acknowledged the model.

A 2+2 GT, a New 750S Successor, and an Open W1

The dealer reporting sketches out the rest of the decade too. A front-engine, sedan-like grand tourer with a 2+2 layout is reportedly due in 2027 as the replacement for the GTS. A successor to the 750S is said to arrive in 2028 to face the Ferrari 849 Testarossa. And a convertible W1 with a three-piece removable hardtop is reportedly planned for 2028 as well. Notably, the rumored electric supercar was not shown to dealers at all, which lines up with Collins's public position that an EV is in development but not a near-term priority.

Why McLaren Is Doing This Now

The context is ownership. McLaren was acquired in 2025 by CYVN Holdings, an Abu Dhabi investment firm that merged the automaker with the British startup Forseven and installed Forseven's Nick Collins as CEO; Autocar reports CYVN has put about £1.5 billion into the company. Car and Driver notes CYVN also holds a controlling stake in Gordon Murray Technologies, and McLaren has said it will draw on both Forseven and GMT assets going forward.

The United States is central to the plan. Automotive News reports the U.S. now accounts for more than half of McLaren's global sales, and Collins sees room to grow the current network of 27 American dealers by five to ten stores over the next two years. A five-seat SUV and a usable GT are the kinds of cars that expansion is meant to sell.

What We Don't Know Yet

• Official confirmation: McLaren has not publicly acknowledged the P34, the P47, or the 2+2 GT in any form.
• Names: P34 and P47 are internal codes, not market names.
• Prices: every figure so far, including the P34's reported $313,000 start, comes from dealer accounts, and 788HS pricing is also unannounced.
• Debut dates and venues: no reveal has been scheduled for any of the unannounced models.
• Production: McLaren has not said where the SUV would be built.
• Hybrid details: the P34's system has been described as both a full hybrid and a mild hybrid across the two reporting waves.
• The EV: an electric McLaren exists as a program, per Collins, but has no timeline and was not shown to dealers.

What's Next

Collins has said McLaren will keep unpacking its plan in public, and the pattern so far suggests how: the 788HS reveal and the McL 6GT concept both landed within weeks of his summer promise. The next hard checkpoints are 788HS pricing and first deliveries, the start of W1 customer cars reaching the road in numbers, and any first official teaser of the P34, which is the closest of the unannounced cars to its reported 2027 on-sale date. We will update this page as each of those lands.
