The McLaren lineup may feel overly indebted to the F1 at times, but the marque isn’t afraid to try new things. Just look at the marque’s fifth Ultimate Series model, the Elva, which was inspired by the open-top race cars developed by Bruce McLaren in the 1960s. In addition to its unique look, the limited-run model shares a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8—as well as a seven-speed seamless-shift gearbox— with the Senna that produces a hair-raising 804 horses. Thanks to all the power, the brand’s speedster can spring from zero to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds and reach 203 mph.
