McLaren teased their upcoming hybrid sports car earlier this month and now the model has been revealed thanks to these patent photos.

Noticed by Automobile, the images were released by Chinese authorities and reveal the “high-performance hybrid” will look like a redesigned 570S.

As you can see, the model has an evolutionary front fascia with recessed headlights and triangular air intakes. The car also has front fender vents, a rakish windscreen and prominent side scoops. Other highlights include flying buttresses and a distinctive engine cover with plenty of vents.

The rear end is dominated by a ventilated fascia which features slender taillights and a sporty dual exhaust system. We can also see a split diffuser and a rounded bumper.

As fate would have it, spy photographers also snapped new pictures of the hybrid. While the images aren’t as revealing as the patent photos, they give you a better idea of how the high-performance hybrid will look in the flesh.

McLaren has been tight-lipped about the upcoming model, but they recently confirmed it will be introduced in the first half of 2021 and ride on the all-new McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture.

The model will replace the current Sport Series lineup and be powered by a hybrid powertrain that features an all-new V6 engine as well as a “medium-range EV-only drive capability.” The company is keeping specifications under wraps, but promised the car will deliver “astonishing levels of performance and a uniquely intense driver experience.”

The hybrid will slot between the McLaren GT and 720S, and “further strengthen the company’s presence in the supercar sector.” While some fans will probably bemoan the electrification, McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt has previously said “This is a new kind of McLaren for a new era, an extraordinary drivers’ car that offers blistering performance as well as an all-electric range capable of covering most urban journeys.”
