McLaren Sports Series - not long now!

New snippet of video the latest in McLaren's piece-by-piece Sports Series reveal



"You won't find that McLaren Sport Series at the Geneva motor show but there's less than a month to go." So begins the description of McLaren's latest Sports Series video, the latest very small hint at its new car. It also sounds like an admission this has been drawn out for a very long time...

Anyway, there is some info to be learned from this new 20-second clip. We can see the rear of the Sports Series for the first time, which is clearly influenced by the P1 and no bad thing in our book. The front resembles the 650S more closely.

This winter testing video is the first time the Sports Series has been heard too. The 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 is likely to remain, and the flat-plane sound is evident from the clip.

Alright, so there's not a lot to learn from this latest Sports Series update. At least McLaren isn't the pushing the #BlackSwanMoment thing so strongly. Did you know Impressionism and mapping the human genome are black swan moments? However, there are some positives to finish. Not only is there the actual debut at New York to antcipate, PH also grabbed a chat with McLaren boss Mike Flewitt at Geneva, which promises more detail on the car. More from that soon.

Watch the video here.

Am I in?

Even if I'm not: even by Mclaren's recent form, that was a bit pointless
