McLaren Engine Tecnologies Manufacture new LS
McLaren Performance Technologies has been developing specialized engines for about 30 years now, with powerplants that helped win the Indy 500 and Cam-Am championships many times over. In that time, the company has made several forays into production models; remember the papaya-orange Mustang of yesteryear (OK, it was the mid-'80s)? That was the original McLaren-enhanced production car.
Now it's preparing for a return to street vehicles beginning with the Lincoln LS. With air force-fed by an Eaton Supercharger and twin intercoolers, the 3.9-liter V8 engine should propel the car from 0-to-60 mph in 6.2 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 14.2 seconds. This is made possible by 350 horses, 100 more than the regular V8. A new six-speed manual tranny routs the power to the rear wheels, but the five-speed transmission will still be standard. A completely revised exhaust system topped by dual exhaust outlets handles the extra effluvium.

This is very old news. This vehicle was announced at the New York Auto Show in April of 2002. This program has since been cancelled.

Yep..old news.....
Mclaren dumped the project a long time ago...but they still have the rims and exhausts for sale....I think 60 sets of the oz rims and maybe 20 set of the exhaust....I have the Mclaren grille on my car. Actually last week I talked to the guy who is about to purchase this car from Mclaren. I think he is going to be taking delivery on it Aug 8th if everything goes ok.... Ellenor

The wheels and exhaust are up on eBay right now. The sale is final on the show car. He just needs to get it inspected, titled, and licensed.
