Elva: McLaren's latest sports car
McLaren Automotive has revealed its latest sports car, the Elva.
It has no windows, roof or windscreen - and instead uses air. The car is able to still create a 'relative bubble of calm', which would normally be provided by glass, by shaping the wind around the vehicle.

The Elva is incredibly limited: only 399 will be made, and they start at nearly £1.5 million.
For that price, customers won't get any windows to keep the weather out.
