The roughly $2 million plug-in hybrid succeeds the iconic McLaren P1 at the top of the brand's Ultimate Series lineup.

A decade on from the P1, pictured above, McLaren is preparing to announce a successor to its first hybrid hypercar. The British supercar maker published a teaser video this week (25 September) asking “what makes a ‘1’ car?

It's been more than a decade since McLaren P1 production began, and it might be time for a successor. McLaren just put up a video about its "1" cars, the F1 and P1, with various employees from the brand talking about what makes them so special.

Hard as it may be to believe — in part because the automaker continues to find ways to celebrate it — it's been almost nine years since production wrapped on the McLaren P1 hypercar. It certainly doesn't hurt that the P1 is as exotic and thrilling as it was a decade ago,
