Not long ago, the automotive world started transitioning to more sustainable power sources. Legacy automakers didn't believe in the potential of EVs like Tesla or Rimac did, so they chose the middle ground – they started making lots of hybrids.
Notice how we talked about Tesla and Rimac in the same discussion, even though one is a mass-market EV maker, and the other is a novel type of ultra-high-performance exotic EV startup. But the fun fact is they can be considered in the same sentence because of the existence of Plaids and Neveras. And what they did, beyond showing the extreme capabilities of EVs, was to prove they are not as out of reach as legacy carmakers believed.
Luckily, from their reluctance to drop ICE power altogether, the latter also produced some of the finest hybrids and plug-in hybrids that graced Earth's tracks and mountain canyons. We could talk about the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder as the initial Holy Trinity of hybrid supercars but since their arrival the sector got 'democratized' by stuff like the McLaren Speedtail, Koenigsegg Regera, second-gen Honda NSX, Lamborghini Revuelto, Ferrari 296 GTB, McLaren Artura, or the first-ever Chevy Corvette E-Ray.
And we are just mentioning a few. But have you noticed how we said three McLarens in a row? Well, as it turns out, the British supercar maker has quite a bit of experience making hybrids – as far as exotic brands are concerned, of course. Of course, the company currently makes only the Artura and Speedtail hybrids, but what if they decided to bring the fight to the Lamborghini Revuelto and Ferrari SF90 Stradale with their own hybrid flagship?
We don't know when that will happen in the real world, but the ship has already sailed across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, all thanks to Giorgi Tedoradze, the Georgia-based industrial designer better known as tedoradze.giorgi on social media, who has imagined McLaren's next hybrid supercar as a way to continue the Holy Trinity saga – even if at a smaller scale. In fact, the pixel master has already decided to pit his unofficial McLaren Solomon hybrid supercar against the Ferrari to see who wins fair and square.
Interestingly, this hypothetical design clearly doesn't abandon the ICE-powered world – hence, we can easily imagine it with McLaren's traditional 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 in a mid-ship position. But to properly combat the Lambo Revuelto and Ferrari SF90 Stradale, it clearly needs a couple of electric motor aids – one in the front and one in the rear to give it access to an eAWD setup. Also, it would need to come with at least 1,016 horsepower on tap to claim the crown from the new SF90 Stradale XX. So, what do you think?
