Future McLarens

TURIN, Italy — A student design contest commissioned by McLaren has produced some stunning results — and possibly the next roadgoing model from the British supercar builder.

The contest was open to third-year students in the Transportation Design course at Turin's Istituto Europeo di Design, as their final year-end project.
Winners from among 14 entries were selected by a jury that included McLaren Managing Director Anthony Sheriff.
The rules were simple: Create a sports car capable of speeds over 200 mph, with advanced Formula 1 technology and exceptional dynamic and aerodynamic performance.
Designs were produced in quarter scale.
The winning design, called MElevenB, echoes the shape of the McLaren F1.
Second place was awarded to the Manta, and third to the MP11.
All 14 cars on are display at IED in Turin until the end of September.
