It's set to participate in the upcoming FIA World Endurance Championship.

As rivals, McLaren has pretty let Ferrari "have" top-tier endurance racing, but that's all about to change. The British company is about to return to the sport in a major way, and they've revealed the car that will do it for them.

They've unveiled the hybrid hypercar concept, the MCL-HY, which is set to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship from 2027 and onwards. It's power comes from a hybrid twin-turbo V6, delivering around 700 horsepower.

The car is targeting a combined weight of about 1030 kilograms thanks to a carbon-fibre monocoque chassis.
