THE ROADSTER
McLaren Elva
McLaren's no-windscreen, no-roof Ultimate Series hypercar — limited to 149 customer cars.
McLaren revealed the Elva in November 2019 as the fourth member of its Ultimate Series — joining the F1, Senna and Speedtail — and as the lightest road car the company had ever built, with a quoted dry weight under 1,150 kg. The name pays tribute to the early-1960s McLaren-Elva M1A, M1B and M1C race cars built in collaboration with the Elva car company. LEGO® 76902 models the production Elva (see Brickset 76902).
The car uses a development of McLaren's M840T 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 815 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The chassis is a unique carbon-fibre Monocage construction that does without an A-pillar or windscreen mount; instead, McLaren's Active Air Management System raises a small forward deflector at speed, parting the airflow into a low-pressure 'bubble' over the cabin. A fixed-windscreen version was made available later for North American customers and other markets where the AAMS configuration was not road-legal.
Production was originally announced as 399 cars but reduced to 249 and ultimately to 149 — the lowest run of any McLaren Ultimate Series road car other than the F1 itself. Customer deliveries began in late 2020. McLaren ended Elva production at the end of 2021, which is also why 76906/76902 LEGO® line context shows 76902 retired the year after the real car finished its production run.
