The McLaren Elva is the lightest road-going McLaren ever, featuring a bespoke carbon fiber body structure and at lightest, weighing just 2,531 pounds. This remarkably light weight allows for unmatched agility and telepathic handling characteristics, helping the vehicle achieve a zero to 62 mph time in just 2.8 seconds - and 124 mph takes just four additional seconds.

Of course, the McLaren Elva would not be such a technical tour-de-force without its mid-mounted 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 producing nearly 800 horsepower and nearly 600 pound-feet of torque. This robust powerplant also propels the McLaren Elva onward to a top speed of 203 mph.

But going is only half the equation: a car of this caliber also requires exceptional stopping power. That's why this example sports McLaren Orange titanium brake calipers clamping giant 15-inch discs - allowing the vehicle to slow down from 62 to a standstill in just 96 feet. Staggered 19 and 20-inch wheels, unique to the McLaren Elva, wear Pirelli P Zero tires and send a clear message that performance is a priority.

There is no question that the McLaren Elva delivers a truly unique experience from the driver's seat - but not just by virtue of its exceptional powertrain and special interior. The design of the McLaren Elva largely follows an uncompromising attention to aerodynamics, featuring the Active Air Management System (AAMS) for the first time on a production vehicle. The system channels air through the front of the vehicle to exit up over the cockpit, creating an area of relative calm in the cockpit. A full-width rear active spoiler also works to optimize downforce and balance, working with AAMS to determine appropriate positioning.
