McLaren Speedtail codenamed BP-23 will carry a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that has been embedded in 720S. When used in 720S this machine only has 710 hp, but on Speedtail it has a different power because of the hybrid technology.
The combination of conventional machines with the latest hybrid technology in this hypercar is capable of producing 987 hp. The total power is claimed to be greater than the McLaren P1 which only has 903 hp with a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine.

Indeed, when viewed from the specifications of the engine, Speedtail has a greater capacity. However, Mike Flewitt as CEO of McLaren said that the most influential difference was in hybrid technology.
"Speedtail will use a hybrid system that is different from P1," said Flewitt.

Although it is believed to be the fastest model for McLaren, this hypercar can only go from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds with a maximum speed of 350 km/h. These notes are quite unfortunate because by carrying a more powerful engine and new hybrid technology Speedtail has the same performance as the McLaren P1 when accelerating.
"We will not target high top speeds on behalf of top speed. We are more focused on improving performance on the other hand so that this car will be 'super comfortable' and 'super to drive', ”added Flewitt.
McLaren's number one person is also very confident that consumers will be very comfortable in the car to travel far to 3,218 km. If this Speedtail is more comfortable, then the money poured by consumers is claimed to be paid off.
This hypercar is predicted to be sold at a price of US. $2.1 million, equivalent to Rp.30.8 billion. And McLaren Speedtail is only produced as many as 106 units and is ready to be delivered to consumers at the end of 2019. The first hypercar unit is predicted to be in the hands of consumers in 2020. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARBUZZ | CARSCOOPS]
