IED collaborates with McLaren to create the crossovers of 2020

Students from the Istituto Europeo di Design, Turin have collaborated with British super car manufacturer, McLaren Automotive, to design an off-road, hybrid two-seater for 2020.

"McLaren Automotive's plans are wholly based on two-seat, mid-engined performance cars," explained Stephenson.

We're fairly sure it's not going to be a hybrid, either.
