Grand prix racing meets the age of advanced technology
500 km/h inductively charged, electric racing machines On-board advanced AI co-pilot Shapeshifting active aerodynamics Thrilling circuits, fierce banking Strategy support via esports pathfinders Inspired by comprehensive fan research McLaren Applied sets out the ultimate vision for grand prix racing three decades from now. The year is 2050, the Formula 1 World Championship is celebrating its centenary, and technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomy, electrification and mixed reality will have become commonplace in society.
Our pursuit of the possible started with an extensive research process into the needs and wants of the sport’s most important stakeholders – the fans – and called upon our experts in powertrain, aerodynamics, design, materials technology, data science and human performance to create a blueprint for grand prix racing.Car Future, McLaren 2050 F1 Car Will Be a 300 MPH
Fast, predatory and instinctive As with most research projects, we needed a model to work with. The car is not an end unto itself – but it does inform everything around it.
