However, the model is not part of the company’s plan to produce 18 new models by 2025.
McLaren’s future might include a formal four-passenger model. According to Mike Flewitt, the company CEO, he said Autocar that he would not rule out at least a 2+2 model. It’s possible, so we’ll examine it.”
More McLaren Madness!
A four-seat McLaren will not be realized until after 2025. Flewitt and Flewitt both acknowledge that such a model was not in the company’s plans to deliver 18 more models by the middle the next decade.
McLaren’s interior packaging is what is holding them back from bringing a 4-passenger car to market. It is difficult to squeeze two extra seats into a vehicle that offers a moderate amount of comfort and stretch-out space, as McLaren currently places its powertrains in central locations of its cars.
“The car cannot have a huge wheelbase. It must be agile,” Flewitt told Autocar.

McLaren’s embrace of electrification may allow the company to have more fun with its passenger compartments. Smaller electric motors can be used to support or replace space-eating internal combustion engine and associated kit. This includes space-eating gasoline tanks and other bits.
We would love to see McLaren make a grand touring car that can accommodate four people. But we won’t be waiting. Although it seems that such a model will be produced in the next few years, by the time McLaren officially introduces the model, most likely we’ll have died from asphyxiation.
