McLaren estate takes shape
Exclusive images show how the McLaren shooting brake estate could look when it arrives as early as 2014

McLaren is working on a top-secret shooting brake estate, Auto Express has learned – and we’ve produced these exclusive images to show how it could look.

The new model will be based on the MP4-12C and will be similar in concept to the Ferrari FF – although it won’t have the Ferrari’s £230,000 price tag. Instead, McLaren will position the car as a more practical alternative to range-topping Porsche 911s, with a price of around £150,000.

The two-seater will have more boot space than the MP4-12C, but will still offer the same incredible performance. That’s thanks to its lightweight carbon-fibre construction and 592bhp 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 – which will deliver 0-60mph in around three seconds and a top speed of 205mph.

For full details on this and the next McLaren F1, check out the latest issue of Auto Express, out 18 April 2012.

is it me or is that kind of cool?

 

Its me too, i think that looks cool!

 

It's spelled "Scirocco" not "Shooting Brake"

 

I really hope not!!! it dosent stack up,same performance but cheaper and you only buy it for a little extra room as you could put nothing above the engine,waste of time

 

Love it, first sketch looks better than the MP4 today

 

Where do journalists come up with this crap?
Slow day at work? Just make something up!!

 

I literally just made a joke about a 458 shooting brake yesterday in another thread. Now this. I actually think its pretty cool! It looks really good.

 

FF anyone?
