McLaren’s Hypercar program is making steady progress toward homologating its MCL-HY LMDh prototype, positioning the team for a 2027 debut in the World Endurance Championship. The manufacturer confirmed the prototype is advancing through final testing phases, with homologation expected in the coming months.
The MCL-HY marks McLaren’s first foray into the Hypercar class, aligning with the LMDh technical regulations to compete alongside rivals like Porsche, Ferrari, and Toyota. The program’s timeline suggests a competitive entry in the 2027 season, though no driver lineup or race schedule has been finalized.
With homologation nearing, the focus shifts to finalizing the car’s specifications and preparing for its first on-track runs in WEC competition.
