McLaren unveils 662-horsepower hypercar model for 2027 Le Mans

McLaren has unveiled a 662-horsepower hypercar prototype set to compete in the 2027 24 Hours of Le Mans, marking the British automaker’s return to the iconic race 30 years after its dominant 1995 victory with the McLaren F1 GTR. The new car will race in the LMDh class, competing against manufacturers like Cadillac and BMW, and will feature a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis supplied by Dallara, shared with other LMDh competitors. Power will come from a hybrid-assisted twin-turbo V6 engine, capped at 662 hp in accordance with class regulations, though detailed specifications remain undisclosed. In addition to its racing ambitions, McLaren is launching Project: Endurance, an exclusive program allowing customers to purchase a road-legal version of the hypercar with minimal modifications from the race car. Buyers will gain access to a two-year track experience at premier circuits and behind-the-scenes involvement in the car’s development leading up
