McLaren's newest supercar will be sporting a pair of epic top-exit exhaust tips, a new teaser image released ahead of the car's official unveiling has revealed.
The image shows little else, to be honest, but still; top-exit exhausts are cool, right?
It's the second teaser of the mystery McLaren, with an earlier image - this one showing a close-up of a carbonfibre diffuser that appeared to belong to a 570S (albeit sans exhaust pipe - that's one mystery solved at least), joined by a 16-second teaser clip entitled "The Edge is Calling" which revealed exactly nothing about the new car.
We do know that the newest McLaren - the fifth of 15 models or variants promised by 2022 - will be officially revealed online on June 28, before making its "dynamic debut" at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 12.
It is heavily - heavily - tipped to be a LT (or Longtail) version of the brand's 570S, but as yet we don't even have a name for the newest member of the supercar family. A McLaren LT is a lighter, slipperier and more track-focused version of the car on which it is based.
"It will benefit from increased power, minimised weight, optimised aerodynamics and enhanced driver engagement," McLaren says. "It will also deliver track-focused dynamics. And like the McLaren Senna, the most recent model revealed by the Woking-based company, it will be limited to the few."
What do you think will be McLaren's newest supercar? Let us know in the comments.

Andrew Chesterton should probably hate cars. From his hail-damaged Camira that looked like it had spent a hard life parked at the end of Tiger Woods' personal driving range, to the Nissan Pulsar Reebok that shook like it was possessed by a particularly mean-spirited demon every time he dared push past 40km/h, his personal car history isn't exactly littered with gold.
But that seemingly endless procession of rust-savaged hate machines taught him something even more important; that cars are more than a collection of nuts, bolts and petrol. They're your ticket to freedom, a way to unlock incredible experiences, rolling invitations to incredible adventures. They have soul.
And so, somehow, the car bug still bit. And it bit hard.
When "Chesto" started his journalism career with News Ltd's Sunday and Daily Telegraph newspapers, he covered just about everything, from business to real estate, courts to crime, before settling into state political reporting at NSW Parliament House.
But the automotive world's siren song soon sounded again, and he begged anyone who would listen for the opportunity to write about cars. Eventually they listened, and his career since has seen him filing car news, reviews and features for TopGear, Wheels, Motor and, of course, CarsGuide, as well as many, many others.
More than a decade later, and the car bug is yet to relinquish its toothy grip. And if you ask Chesto, he thinks it never will.
