The Elva is a roadster-only McLaren with no roof, windscreen or side windows, built around a carbon-fibre MonoCell and a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 producing 804 hp. Its Active Air Management System (AAMS) deflects airflow over the cockpit, creating a protected 'bubble' for occupants. It revives the name of Bruce McLaren's 1960s Elva-McLaren sports racers and is a limited-production Ultimate Series car.
It strips the McLaren formula down to raw, open-air speed, with a dry weight around 1,270 kg and a 0-100 km/h time near 2.8 seconds. Production was capped at 249 units, and its radical AAMS design and Bruce McLaren lineage give it unusual historical and technical weight.
