In the past 12 months, we\u2019ve been treated to the limited-run MSO X and the brand\u2019s most extreme road car ever – the Senna, while the 720S was hailed as \u2018a world class supercar\u2019 as it pulled in a raft of five-star reviews.The codenamed \u2018BP23\u2019 hybrid supercar is another exciting project that McLaren has had simmering for a while and further details on the model have now been revealed.According to McLaren Automotive chief executive Mike Flewitt, the forthcoming three-seat \u2018Hyper-GT\u2019 will have the highest top speed of any McLaren before it.This means it will be quicker than the iconic McLaren F1 road car, reaching speeds in excess of 243mph.Bosses at the Surrey-based brand are wary about revealing an exact number because they know that as soon as they confirm a top speed, Hennessey (the guys responsible for the Venom GT) \u201cwill go out and build something faster\u201d.Following the Bugatti Chiron\u2019s 288mph, the obvious question is how much faster can a road-legal car feasibly go?Details on the BP23\u2019s petrol-electric hybrid powertrain are being kept secret for now, but if it is to outpace McLaren\u2019s 903bhp P1, it may need to stretch into a four-figure power output.The next addition to the McLaren Ultimate Series will also be the most luxurious McLaren, the brand says.Featuring a three-seat cockpit design with a central driving position – the same layout as in the F1, the BP23 will aim to deliver what McLaren hopes will be an unparalleled blend of extreme performance and sporting luxury that befits its status as the ultimate road-going McLaren.Only 106 examples will ever be built and all of them found buyers in November 2016 while development of the \u00a31.65 million car was still in its infancy. Production isn\u2019t even expected to begin until the end of 2019.Each BP23 will be personalised to each owner\u2019s taste by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), the division of McLaren Automotive responsible for bespoke customer commissions "},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"McLaren\u2019s three-seat BP23 hypercar","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/mclarens-three-seat-bp23-hypercar\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
