Haven’t heard of the McLaren BC-03? Well, that’s because the forthcoming hypercar hasn’t actually been revealed but that hasn’t stopped Knight International from reportedly securing a build slot and listing it for sale at a €300,000 premium.
A lot of mystery surrounds the McLaren BC-03. The British car manufacturer confirmed the existence of the project in October 2018 when it claimed it would be a one-off. While details about the vehicle were scarce at the time, it was reported the BC-03 would take inspiration from the McLaren Vision Gran Turismo concept.

Fast forward to September 2019 and a series of photos reportedly depicting the BC-03 emerged online alongside claims that McLaren would actually build 5 units. While the legitimacy of these images has never been verified, they are thought to be legitimate and reveal the BC-03 will be extremely striking, albeit perhaps not quite as in-your-face as the Senna.
Knight International claims that 15 units of the BC-03 are being built and that it has the build slot for one of them. But, given how few and far between details on the car are, we don’t know how much it’ll cost to secure this build slot, other than that it comes at a €300,000 premium over MSRP.
From a visual standpoint, images have depicted the BC-03 with a front fascia not too dissimilar to the 720S, complete with familiar ‘eye-socket’ headlights. From the front back, however, all of the body panels appear to be bespoke, including complex angels and sharps around the doors. The most eye-catching part of the hypercar is the rear thanks to a towering wing, a prominent shark fin running along the engine cover, and a pronounced diffuser.
