Don’t worry. The Elva is as well-engineered as your hairstyle.
The McLaren Elva joins the F1, P1, Senna and Speedtail in the Ultimate Series of British supercars. This McLaren-Elva M1A is a nod towards McLaren’s heritage. It shares many things with McLaren Elva M1A from the 1960s, such as the body style.
The Elva is a McLaren Ultimate Series supercar with a twin-turbocharged, 4.0-liter V8 engine. It produces 804 horsepower (591kW), and has a sprint time of under three seconds from 0 to 62 miles per h.
The Elva is a unique vehicle. The Elva lacks a windscreen, which could limit your desire to go at very high speeds. You may be wondering, “How can I enjoy the incredible acceleration and fast runs without wind protection?”
McLaren has posted a video explaining the engineering behind the glassless Elva’s body configuration. McLaren works on the Elva’s aerodynamics, and uses the air vents at the hood to explain how the “bubble” of air works.
You can also see how the deflector works at higher speeds. It rises to 5.9 inches and keeps both driver and passenger safe. McLaren’s engineering genius will ensure that your hair will not move. That’s how your $1,690,000 will buy you. We find it not too bad, actually.
Only 399 units will be ever produced. Deliveries begin at the end of the year.
