The new head of McLaren, Michael Leiters<\/strong>, sees far ahead and thinks green. He is studying a possible transition to electric cars, after the hybrids. His predecessor, Mike Flewitt, had already announced the possibility of a future electric SUV.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today, many companies in all sectors are more environmentally aware and are focusing on innovation. And in the automotive field, things are moving.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n McLaren is in the midst of a transition and transformation, whether it be the engine or the car model itself.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n After the <\/span>McLaren Artura<\/b>, the first plug-in hybrid model, McLaren plans to launch 100% electric vehicles that are practical for everyday use. The manufacturer, which specializes in high-end sports cars, has so far only presented two-seater models.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The company’s intention is now to make a larger vehicle that consumes less and better. Michael Leiters specifies that the objective is “<\/span>to offer a better lifestyle and a utilitarian purpose<\/span><\/i>“.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The executive announced a “green” project, the preparation of a new electric vehicle, less tall than an SUV and able to accommodate more people.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In an interview with Auto Express reporters, Michael Leiters said, “<\/span>Words like ‘utility’ or ‘lifestyle’, you’re obviously going to come to certain conclusions.

Last but not least, McLaren will not go it alone and will surely be accompanied by a <\/span>technological partner : BMW<\/b>. The German manufacturer had already brought its expertise during the development of the last hybrid car, McLaren Artura.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Other prestigious car brands are entering the electric race. The next McLaren electric sedan should be the perfect competitor to the Porsche Taycan.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Read also >GranTurismo Folgore : Maserati makes its first electric vehicle official<\/a><\/p>\nTowards electrification…<\/b><\/h2>\n
