McLaren is returning to WEC

The company is increasingly returning to the most famous endurance championship, the FIA ​​World Endurance Championship, and one of them is McLaren. The company intends to develop a car in the next year that would compete with teams such as Ferrari and Aston Martin, who are also returning to the WEC after a break.

McLaren last won the WEC in 1995 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and now they have announced their return to the same place with a new car. “The legendary victory at Le Mans in 1995. The glory of the triple crown. Ready to leave our mark on the world endurance scene once again. Hypercar. World Endurance Championship 2027,” McLaren announced.

The McLaren racing team, which merged with the Forseven company, will enter the LMDh hypercar class, where participants use their own combustion engines, and their option should be a V6 twin-turbo engine with 680 hp. This engine is used in the road and racing versions of the Arthur model.

The British company will become the 11th manufacturer to compete in the WEC. There are currently eight manufacturers split between the LMDh and Le Mans Hypercar classes. Genesis will join them next year, while McLaren and Ford will enter in 2027.

2026 BYD Han L and Tang L SUV

BYD has become a leader in the electric car world in recent years, and its two new models, the Han L sedan and the Tang L SUV, are raising the bar even higher. The two models are the first to be built on the new 1,000V platform that allows for super-fast charging of 1,000 kW.

The Han L is equipped with a Blade 83.2 kWh battery that charges from 10 to 70 percent in just six minutes, and a five-minute charge provides a range of 400 km. It takes just 20 minutes to fully charge the battery. The Tang L is equipped with a larger 100.5 kWh battery that allows a five-minute charge to provide a range of 350 km, and a full charge takes slightly longer than the smaller battery, 30 minutes.

The Chinese company’s goal is to equalize the electric charging time with tank filling. The charging speed of 1,000 kW is double that of Tesla’s superchargers, which deliver up to 500 kW. This led to a rise in the company’s shares (4.1%) in China, as investors estimated that the company could strengthen its already dominant position as one of the world’s largest electric car manufacturers.

The Tang L is available in three versions. The basic rear-wheel drive version has 788 hp, while the four-wheel drive version offers as much as 1,100 hp. Depending on the trim level, the range is between 560 and 670 kilometers. When it comes to price, this model costs from 27,651 euros to 34,895 euros.

The Han L is available in two versions, powered by an electric motor with 671 hp and 420 Nm of torque, with a range of up to 701 km. When it comes to price, the LiDAR Premium version starts at 26,470 euros, while the LiDAR Flagship version is more expensive and starts at 28,885. The LiDAR Flagship version is also available with all-wheel drive. It is powered by two electric motors with a total power of 778 hp and offers a range of 601 kilometers. The price is 33,645 euros.
