I'll update the thread title once the official name is revealed by McLaren. For now, BC-03 it is!
https://www.supercars.net/blog/here-...mclaren-bc-03/
The BC-03 is actually the codename for the upcoming, super-special McLaren. The car takes after the Vision GT concept in some ways as well as the McLaren Senna GTR. Recently some low-res images of the car leaked out giving the world a good look at the car.
It’s sleek and fast-looking. The car features a unique huge rear wing and some seriously sensual curves. The rear wing gets some LEDs that are kind of like the ones found on modern F1 cars. There’s also a massive rear diffuser and exhaust. Pair all that with some six-spoke wheels and a two-tone livery with some subtle orange accents and you have one awesome car.
Technical specs are unknown at this time. However, we can say that the rumor is the car will be powered by a hybrid powertrain featuring one electric motor and a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. The vehicle could come with all-wheel-drive thanks to the hybrid powertrain.
According to The Supercar Blog, previous reports that this car is a one-off could be wrong. New information suggests that McLaren will, in fact, build 15 of the BC-03, or whatever it will officially be called. Pricing and availability are not yet known.

McLaren Sabre, an exclusive new McLaren Special Operations (MSO) bespoke commission hypercar, made its public debut. McLaren Beverly Hills will hand over the keys to the first of 15 customers to take delivery of the Sabre, with each customer having participated in the development process.
The McLaren Sabre is designed and homologated exclusively for the US market, stretching design, engineering and aerodynamic conventions to new limits.
Boasting the most powerful non-hybrid McLaren twin-turbo V8 engine to date, the Sabre has 824bhp and 590lb-ft of torque. A maximum speed of 218 mph makes it the fastest-ever two-seater McLaren.
The McLaren Sabre by MSO is the co-creation of its customers and McLaren Special Operations designers and engineers. There are just 15 examples, each tailored to exacting standards of personalization and - because the car has been homologated solely to US federal standards -featuring ideas and innovations that global homologation would not permit.
Earlier in Fall 2020, Sabre customers enjoyed a private test drive of a prototype version of their new car on track in Partnership with O'Gara Motorsport and McLaren Beverly Hills - but they have already experienced an immersive journey to get this far.
"I've been fortunate enough to have been involved with a number of very special cars and I've never seen a manufacturer give clients the level of access that McLaren Special Operations has provided for the Sabre," commented Parris Mullins, Motorsport Director for O'Gara Motorsport
The Bespoke Commission customer experience includes a close working relationship with the MSO development team of designers, engineers and test drivers to ensure that the finished car would exactly match their desired and personalized concept.
"Everything from visiting the 'skunkworks' style design studio in the UK to flying out the actual development test mule for clients to get behind the wheel of and drive at a private track -these just aren't things you typically get access to," said Mullins.
The build process culminated with a highly exclusive and secret track day for customers, held at the O'Gara facility inside the Thermal Club Private Race Track. Each owner was allowed to drive a development car multiple times throughout the day, while being coached from the right seat.
After returning from the drive, owners were sat down in a private room to give direct feedback via video chat to the design and engineering team back in Woking.
"We were extremely pleased with how the event went and were honored to support such an integral part of the customer journey for the Sabre," said O'Gara Motorsport director, Parris Mullins. "And today we are thrilled to hand over the first McLaren Sabre to its new owner - this time, not just a client, more a customer who has been in part collaborator, designer and factory test driver as their dream came to reality"
