The Nicholas N1A is a road-legal supercar designed by legendary Formula 1 engineer Steve Nichols - who is credited with the design of the McLaren MP4/4. Inspired by the 1960s McLaren M1A Can-Am racer, the N1A is an ultra-lightweight, analog machine focused on raw driver engagement, completely eschewing modern digital aids like touchscreens. While it looks like a vintage 1960s racer, the N1A is wider and longer than the original M1A to accommodate modern safety and performance needs. The N1A is built on a carbon fiber and aluminum bonded chassis - keeping total weight under 1900 pounds. Buyers can choose from three naturally aspirated V8 engine configurations ranging fro 460 hp to 700+hp. Nichols plans to build 100 units with customer deliveries expected to begin in spring 2026.
