Although not being in possession of a lot of information, we know that the new McLaren hypercar will have a hybrid V8 hybrid engine, as confirmed by the British brand itself during the development phase. This unit will take the place of the current twin-turbo V8, used for the first time for example on the MP4-12C of 2011.
