After being shelved some time ago following difficulties between DCAG and McLaren, the P8 project has been resurrected. McLaren has decided to continue with the project and has Mercedes' blessing! Its expected as an '08 model and may be badged just as a McLaren. It will have the NA 6.3L V8 that we've all been talking about supplied by Mercedes. The powerplant is expected to produce over 500hp and a minumum of 440lb-ft. There has been a lot of talk about this engine and some are hoping it doesnt end up in the next AMG E-class but if this info is accurate, I think we will be ok!
This car is gonna be killer!
This info is from the current Autocar Magazine(April 5th Issue, page 12) for anyone interested in reading it for themselves.
