The Sabre, a supercar inspired by the McLaren Ultimate Vision Gran Turismo—a virtual concept designed for Gran Turismo Sport—features a striking design that aligns with its sword-inspired name. Its aggressive styling includes blade-like fender extensions, fully skirted doors, and a sleek side profile that sweeps upward, ending in upright LED taillights, a full-width rear wing, and air diffusers.
Sharing the carbon fiber monocoque structure with the Senna, the Sabre also incorporates McLaren’s iconic upward-swinging doors and clamshell-style front and rear hatches, reminiscent of endurance race cars. Powered by a tuned version of the Senna’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, the Sabre delivers 824 horsepower, compared to the Senna’s 790 HP, and is designed to be more aerodynamically efficient.
Despite its formidable power, the Sabre is intended as a road car with excellent track capability, offering a more comfortable ride without compromising performance. It reaches an impressive top speed of 218 mph, surpassing the Senna by 1 mph. True to McLaren Special Operations’ exclusivity, the Sabre is an ultra-rare vehicle, with only 15 examples produced worldwide.
