Is this a prototype of the upcoming McLaren 720LT?

McLaren has already confirmed that a more hardcore 720S is on its way. Could this be an early prototype of the McLaren 720LT?

The McLaren 720S made its debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. It was later revealed that the McLaren boss would soon sign-off a “Long Tail” version of the 720S. Like the 675LT, the McLaren 720LT is likely to feature a more powerful engine and an updated aerodynamics package.

The prototype vehicle – XP531, which was spotted in London looks more like a stock 720S. It’s difficult to confirm if it’s a 720LT test mule. That said, it could be a test rig for the 720LT’s powertrain.

Now, some reports suggest that it might be a prototype of the McLaren F1 replacement – codenamed: BP23. These reports may not be true since McLaren has already revealed the prototype through official images.

The McLaren 720LT will rival the Ferrari 488 GTO.
