McLaren has promised a replacement for the P1 hypercar in the year 2025.

British sports car maker McLaren has an ambitious plan to introduce 18 new cars by 2025, and one of them will apparently be a new P1.

Speaking at a press conference at Goodwood Festival of Speed, McLaren executive director of global sales and marketing Jolyon Nash revealed the company’s commitment to making a new P1.

“By 2025 we will have a replacement for the P1,” he said. “It will be the ultimate expression of McLaren expertise and prowess.’ We’re pretty sure that most cars McLaren makes can be described as “the ultimate expression of expertise and prowess,” but we’ll forgive Nash for tossing in a bit of marketing with his announcement.

Originally built in 2013, the P1 was for a time one of the fastest cars in the world around a track thanks to a groundbreaking hybrid powertrain. It was such a technological breakthrough that it adorned teenagers' walls as posters.

However, it was never intended to become a new line of cars for McLaren. Despite this, people have been demanding a replacement that outperforms the P1 in every metric. Apparently, the Senna wasn’t good enough for them.

McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt offered a few more details to Motor Trend. First, the new P1 will arrive in 2025, although they’re still working out whether it will be a 2025 or a 2026 model. It will be a single year model just like the original P1, although it will take several years to make all of them since McLaren is a low-volume producer.

The original P1 eventually gained 375 units. Flewitt said there will be even more of the new P1s.

“P1 shocked the world,” Flewitt said, referring to the P1’s then-groundbreaking powertrain. “It has to be that significant again.”

Flewitt was quick to shoot down suggestions that the new P1 might be an entirely electric sports car, although he didn’t entirely close to the door on that possibility. As McLaren has always said, the company will adopt battery-electric technology fully only when the technology has become light enough to meet McLaren’s specifications.
