Made to kickstart the electric revolution in McLaren’s offering of fine, fast automobiles, the McLaren E-Zero concept comes from designer and fanboy Daniel Platek, who hopes the company will start producing e-vehicles in the near future.
The conceptual E-Zero imagines what an electrified McLaren sportscar would look like. Platek stays true to McLaren’s design cues, with the orange+black paint job, and a main body shape that is inspired by the legendary M6GT from 1969. The car’s design otherwise boasts of incredibly futuristic detailing like the extremely slim headlights and taillights, and an unusually beautiful single piece of glass that extends from the front, to the back and even the sides, giving you an infinity windshield that’s an absolute pleasure to look at. The windshield extends to the front, while dipping into the car’s hood to create an air-vent, while the lack of a clear rear windshield is substituted with cameras on both sides of the car where you’d expect rear-view mirrors, sending a video feed into the car’s dashboard.
Designed in tribute to Bruce McLaren, the car does a hat-tip to the company’s range of stellar sportscars, while proposing a four-wheel electric drivetrain, and a battery that’s located on the car’s bottom chassis.
Apparently, lifting a 49-pound block of cement by the OnePlus 7 Pro's pop-up camera wasn't the only publicity stunt the company has planned for its new phones. Today, Robert Downey, Jr. shared a photo of himself holding a 7 Pro and standing in front...
Looking like something either out of a videogame or a movie about videogames, this is MCLExtreme, an amped-up vision of what a fully-electric F1 will look like in 2050, courtesy McLaren.
Sparing literally no detail, and quite literally painting an incredible picture in the process, McLaren’s vision for 2050 has quite a few interesting predictions. A completely electric drivetrain is a given, considering Formula One’s gradual drift towards it. The cars won’t just be electric, they’ll charge wirelessly too. The track will supply power to the cars at strategic intervals as they drive in circles. However, where it gets interesting is that McLaren says that in order to charge effectively, drivers will have to slow down to gather more energy. Drive slow and you charge more, drive fast and you save time. The concept of the pit-stop doesn’t exist in 2050 either. The car’s tires will be crafted from a much more durable and self-repairing material that makes them last longer and eventually repair over time, therefore never needing replacing.
The cars themselves will be able to morph as you drive too. The car will morph to grow wider at corners, allowing them to grip the road better and stay stable, but will grow narrower on longer, straight stretches, giving them the aerodynamics they need. Formula 1 will retain the closed-cockpit design, especially since these cars will come with the capacity to reach top speeds of 500km/h. However, to retain the human element that would get lost by enclosing the driver in a covered cockpit, McLaren’s even designed an emotion-sensing bodysuit that connects the driver to the lighting units in the car’s wheels. As drivers get aggressive and angry, the car wheels will turn red, and when the drivers remain collected and calm, the wheels shine blue. This allows fans to feel emotionally engaged and invested in the F1 experience, retaining the overall addictive, entertainment element of the sport. Sounds like an extremely far-fetched vision of the future, but remember that the world could be an entirely different place 30 years from now!
