Despite having the honor of holding the top place in the Jalopnik universe with the McLaren MP4-12C, the independent British carmaker has bigger plans. Behold, the much teased McLaren P1 supercar. The replacement for the venerable McLaren F1 and the dream of drivers everywhere.

McLaren may have thought they were oh so clever outlining their upcoming P12 superfatastiwonderhypercrazycar with rays of light this morning. They were actually giving us all the tools we needed to see the car in full.

McLaren will be officially unveiling its P12 superultramegahyperinsanecar at the Paris Motor Show in two weeks time.

The worst kept secret in the entire car world is that McLaren is releasing a successor to the F1 very, very soon. At Pebble Beach, some well-to-do enthusiasts saw an image of the car, called the P12, and they're starting to leak some details.

Everyone knows McLaren is working on a successor to the legendary F1. Today, McLaren announced that they're going to the Paris Motor Show in three weeks. We're praying that the two are related and we're going to get our first look at the hypercar-to-be.

Even though the fairly astonishing MP4-12C has only been out for a short time, McLaren is now preparing to introduce a spiritual successor to the F1 hypercar of the 90s.
