Autocar draws up its idea of a McLaren F1 spiritual successor

Autocar, a UK autos outlet, received a tip from an insider source that McLaren will build a spiritual successor to the F1.

It'll reportedly feature several F1 staples, including a three-seat configuration and a snorkel atop the roof.

Of course, McLaren won't admit to anything, because automakers regularly decline to talk about future products.

Regardless, if this is true, it's going to be one hell of a machine.

We'll likely have to wait until next year's auto-show circuit (or 2018's) to find out if it's real or not.
