Remember Elva, McLaren's newest multi-million-dollar limited production hypercar? Well it got a new appearance package. McLaren Special Operations just announced the McLaren Elva M1A Theme, a homage to the original Elva, the McLaren M1A. Does it make the car cooler? Yes. Does it make it any more drivable? Not so much. For reasons unknown, the engineers working on Elva chose to replace the traditional windscreen with something called "Active Air Management System". What that is an automatic wind deflector that pops up during driving protect its occupants.  Unlike a windscreen though, it does not deflect rock chips, bugs or water and works only up to 112 Km/h, less than 1/3 of the car's top speed.  Meaning unless you like feeling miserable every time you go out for a drive, this car is for track only. Something it will possibly never see thanks to its $1.69 million sticker price. Which is really sad because this quad exhaust, lighter than Senna, 804 hp hypercar would have dominated any track it let loose in.
