Imagine a car that is built with one goal in mind – speed.
McLaren MP4-X is what your imagination would look like if it became a reality.
Formula One requires companies to follow a certain set of rules and regulations while designing a car in order to maintain safety standards and give all competitors a level-playing field.
McLaren has designed a beast on four wheels that follows none of these rules.
The F1 rules are followed by all participating brands and hence, they all come up with cars that look almost the same and deliver similar lap times.
MP4-X is designed to harness alternative power sources. The chassis changes shape to adapt to different aerodynamic demands.
The car can inform the driver when a failure or a problem is about to happen.
It looks visually striking, but it is beneath the skin where the changes are most apparent.
The car incorporates an enclosed cockpit for better speed and comes with a heads-up display.
This is McLaren’s unique conceptual take on motor racing’s future and we hope to see cars like these on the race track soon.
