According to Autocar reports, the count-down for the second McLaren road model has already started: the ticking should stop in 2010, when the coupé P11 aiming at Ferrari’s F430, will be on sale. 2011 will then see the debut of the mysterious P12.

The first, equipped with a V8 of about 550 hp, will be based on an engine present in the Mercedes and modified by Cosworth, and which will be of smaller size and reduced weight compared to current competitors: the use of high quality, prestigious materials will be a perogative. This is together with the privilege of being assembled at the McLaren base in Woking, beside the track car and the spider version, expected for the following year.

2011 will see the debut of the P12, F1 inheritor planned with some compromised fun: a lighter weight and the V10 at more than 600 hp should be essential elements.
