Overview
- McLaren says the customer car will drop the racer’s hybrid system for a 2.9‑litre twin‑turbo V6 and is for circuit use only.
- The LMDh race car retains hybrid hardware to meet regulations, while the customer model is engineered for a simpler, driver‑friendly experience.
- Reported output for the non‑hybrid V6 is about 720 hp, though McLaren has not confirmed final power figures, production numbers, or pricing.
- Customer‑car tweaks include adjustable traction control, anti‑lock brakes, and unique power mapping suited to non‑professional drivers.
- Development runs in parallel with the WEC entry, with testing for both starting in May 2026 and customer deliveries targeted for late 2027, as McLaren plans a 2027 Le Mans return.
