With just a month to go before its unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show, McLaren is making waves by teasing its upcoming Super Series model, known by the codename P14. In today’s automotive landscape, keeping a new car completely under wraps is nearly impossible, and McLaren appears to be embracing this by hinting that the P14 could be its most adaptable supercar yet.
The P14 will succeed the 650S in McLaren’s lineup and will feature Proactive Chassis Control II—an advanced version of the brand’s innovative system designed to achieve an extraordinary balance between ride comfort and handling capabilities. According to McLaren, this latest setup offers the P14 “the widest breadth of dynamic ability of any McLaren,” exceeding all previous Super Series models in terms of “cornering performance, driver enjoyment, and ride comfort.” This statement is sure to excite fans, particularly those familiar with the thrilling 675LT.
The new P14 is equipped with twelve additional sensors compared to its predecessor, allowing the vehicle to assess the road conditions in real-time. This enables the car to optimize power distribution and adjust the suspension in response to the selected driving mode—Comfort, Sport, or Track. McLaren’s Executive Director of Product Development, Mark Vinnels, states that this results in unprecedented grip while still maintaining a strong connection with the driver.
For drivers who enjoy spirited driving, the P14 will also come with an advanced Variable Drift Control feature, allowing them to modify the level of electronic stability control through a simple swipe on the infotainment touchscreen, freeing them to execute controlled powerslides through corners.
Anticipated Name: 720S
Despite McLaren’s efforts to keep the Super Series model a secret, an image of the car recently surfaced on social media, uploaded by an Instagram user named “woppum.” Although the leaked photo isn’t particularly revealing, a preview image released by McLaren today strongly suggests that woppum’s post depicts the P14. However, fans are hoping the car will appear more striking in person than in the somewhat unflattering initial image.
