no Mclaren decided to build the engine themselves..
It is totally different from NSX.. eg engine is longitudinal vs transverse.

this is actually a disappointment. the design is arguably soft and less aggressive compared to the original. it will definitely look outdated real fast.

This is Ron Dennis' road car division's legacy after he's forced to step down from the race division.
