In 1963, McLaren introduced its mid-engined Group 7 sports prototype race car, the McLaren M1A. It was McLaren’s first self-designed and developed sports car, which has now received its road version, the Nichols Cars N1A, thanks to the Nichols Cars company.

This limited edition car will be produced in just 100 units, and the first 15 cars will be numbered to honor the 15 victories of the legendary McLaren MP4/4 F1 car. It was one of the most successful Formula One car designs of all time.

The car is extremely light, weighing only 900 kg, thanks to the use of light materials. For example, the chassis is made of carbon/aluminum. Part of the standard equipment is traction control, but ABS and power steering are optional. The design is inspired by the classic Can-Am racing car, but the car is wider and has a longer wheelbase. It is equipped with double wishbone suspension.

McLaren M1A is powered by a 7.0-liter V8 engine with 650 hp (478 kW), paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. It’s mounted on 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

When it comes to price, Nichols Cars has not announced how much this car will cost.
