Mclaren MP6/P

'2056, Cancer is cured, Formula one piloted by Navigators is the pinnacle of motorsport once again. In a bid to go back to thier roots and hopefully regain previous dominance as seen during the Senna / Prost times, Mclaren have turned to their classic Marlboro racing livery powered by Honda. The MP6/P's development has been a long one, original prototypes where developed and tested by human drivers dating back at far as the early 90's ( secret heritage photos can be found ), but were deemed too radical for track design at that time, boasting a hybrid of an electric four wheeled system mixed with full on combustion drive at the rear, these prototypes although having very simple aerodynamic design had incredible low speed traction.
Body design purposefully primitive to punch a non turbulent flow of air out of the rear boasted overtaking opportunities, but in return would have unpredictable results within heavy breaking overtaking manoeuvres to the delight of onlookers.'

  2. Wow this is beautiful. A question, though. Is this "just" a drawing or it's a render from a 3D model you actually made? If so, I was wondering if you'd like to give permissions to use it for a racing simulation game, rFactor, as a mod.
    Anyway, all I can say is CHAPEAU. I've seen a lot of renders/drawings of concept cars, but this.. This.. Man, this is the best of them all.

    2. Dude, you do mods for rFactor? Is there anywhere to make available for download? I am anxious for a mod from this prototype. Amazing!

  3. Dear Nathan, please submit this design to McLaren. I'm not sure if you're aware, but Ferrari has also released their own futuristic concept design of a new type of formula one car, and I just think that if this design of yours were made an official design of McLaren, it would help send the message to the FIA that many fans desire a better sport, and this is a way to deliver on that- by making even better performing cars.

  7. Hi was just wondering if this design exists as a set of blueprints as I'd be very interested in making a physical model of this vehicle, with you permission obviously. Intended for personal use as part of my university degree and not for financial gain. It's a stunning looking piece of design and would love to be able to replicate it as a physical object
