It has been 2 years since the McLaren 650S hit the road, already a replacement model is in the offing, christened the McLaren P14.

Road & Track reported that the new P14 is set to take on Ferrari 488 GTB and according to their sister site, Car & Driver, it will be a junior to the company's hybrid P1. The engine sitting behind the driver remains the signature M838T 3.8 litre twin turbo V8 (though it would not be getting the P1's hybrid drivetrain as reported by Car & Driver) and the company's signature MonoCell carbon fibre tub continues to underpin the chassis.

Let's see what has changed from the exterior. It seems like the P14 has ditched the predecessor's 'McLaren-logo' style headlight for a more 'squinted' look. Interestingly, the side air intake is missing. Presumably, the air intake had been migrated underneath the headlight. The side mirror is door-mounted rather than being mounted at the base of the A-Pillar as on the 650S.

Round the back, visible changes can be seen from the twin round tailpipe over the predecessor's more rhombus-shaped tailpipe. Also, twin fog light decks out the lower valance just above the diffuser.

P14 vs 488 GTB showdown. Same engine, but a shade smaller for the McLaren. This should be a recipe for a cliffhanger between Woking and Maranello.
