British supercar maker McLaren Automotive Ltd.is developing an all-electric model as part of its range-topping Ultimate Series hypercars, Autocar reports.
Just five of the customized electric models will be produced, according to Autocar. The U.K. enthusiast magazine, which doesn’t cite its sources, says current McLaren owners will test drive the EVs during the development process.
