McLaren has already admitted that it is working on an entry-level sports car that will sit below the MP4-12C (seen above), aimed directly at the Porsche 911 Turbo. No details have been divulged on the car, internally called P13, but it is expected to use a down tuned version of the twin-turbo V8 from the 12C.
