Get ready for some exciting news, folks! McLaren just dropped a teaser for a brand-new car that's set to be revealed on August 14 at Monterey Car Week. The big deal about this car? It's got a manual transmission. That's right, a real manual gearbox, and we can't wait to learn more.
The teaser video shows off the car's shifter, which looks like a work of art, and the pedals, which are finished in orange and have a bright metal finish. We also catch glimpses of the exhaust tip, some cherry red paint, and the LED lights. It all looks very sleek and sophisticated, but we're still in the dark about the car's specs.
View Price on AmazonOne thing we're really hoping for is that this car isn't a one-off build. If Ferrari can make a run of "manual" transmission cars, it would be awesome to see McLaren follow suit. The exhaust clips playing over the video sound similar to McLaren's V8, but that's no guarantee. We'll just have to wait and see what the car is all about.
For now, we're left with more questions than answers. Is this a real manual gearbox, or will it operate like Ferrari's simulated manual? What engine is it paired with? We'll have to wait until August 14 to find out, but one thing's for sure: this car is going to be something special.
