McLaren Elva Specs, Engines & Dimensions (from 2020) — First Generation
The McLaren Elva is a limited-run roadster that turns open-air driving into a supercar event. First Generation models pair a mid-mounted V8 with a robotic transmission and rear-wheel drive for immediate, involving performance.
The McLaren Elva engine is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 mounted just behind the seats, delivering the kind of instant, hard-hitting acceleration you expect from a track-focused roadster. Power reaches the rear wheels through a lightning-quick robotic gearbox that snaps through ratios without a clutch pedal, so you get the speed of an automatic with the engagement of a manual.
