P1 [Official] McLaren P1 Supercar


The McLaren P1 (codenamed P12) is a flagship sports car produced by McLaren Automotive. It is the second installment in McLaren's Ultimate Series after the McLaren F1. Considered to be the spiritual successor to the F1, the P1 was one of the first high performance sports cars to be introduced incorporating hybrid technology; the Porsche 918 Spyder having begun taking orders prior to the P1 and the LaFerrari introduced alongside it.
^ Lets see where they end up..
And how do you reckon the Lafer to be the slowest, on paper at least it should be the fastest.

Also Ferraris are usually no slouches around a track, it might burn up at the end of the lap, but be sure that it will be one hell of a lap:D

P1's final performance figures are now official!

PERFORMANCE FIGURES FOR THE McLAREN P1? CONFIRMED AS THE FIRST CUSTOMER CAR IS DELIVERED : McLaren Automotive Media Centre

Acceleration:
0-100km/h (62 mph) - 2.8 seconds
0-200km/h (124 mph) - 6.8 seconds
0-300km/h (186 mph) - 16.5 seconds
Standing quarter mile (400m) - 9.8 seconds @ 245 km/h (152 mph)
V max - 350 km/h (217 mph) electronically limited

Braking:
100-0 km/h m (ft) [sec] - 30.2 (99) [2.9]
200-0 km/h m (ft) [sec] - 116 (380) [4.5]
300-0 km/h m (ft) [sec] - 246 (806) [6.2]

Fuel efficiency:
mpg (combined) - 34.0 mpg
litres/100km - 8.3 l/100km

Emissions:
CO2 - 194 g/km

PS: P1 is now on the 'Ring!
 
^What this shows is the future of a solely fossil fueled supercar are numbered and if you want to play with the big boys you need to include electric motors. The thought of these kind of acceleration figures are achievable from a car capable of returning 34mpg on a combined cycle is hard to get your head around.

jeez....
 
These acceleration figures are impressive, 0.3 sec slower than the Veyron SS to 0-100km/h, only 0.1 sec slower to 200km/h and around 2 sec slower to 300km/h. The Veyron is still king in the straight line but the P1 will be sensational around the road and track.

Is the Koenigsegg Agera R not quicker than the Veyron SS?

Close call actually.

Most accurate figure I can find for the Agera R is

0-100km/h in just 2.8 seconds with 200km/h clocked in just 7.8 seconds.

http://www.gtspirit.com/2013/05/27/road-test-koenigsegg-agera-r/

And 0-300km/h time of 14.53 sec

Veyron SS times are listed here

The Venom GT did 0-300 in 13.63s.

That aside though, I wonder how often you will be able to use the Mclaren in this mode that enables you to achieve such impressive figures. Even the 918, which has a lot more batteries than the P1, was out of juice before it could finish just one lap of Nordschleife. How many 16.5s 0-300 runs can the P1 do? And how many laps on a circuit can it do before you drive with just 740hp? Then, how quickly can you recharge your batteries by braking?
 
But then again, a lap at the ring is more than most ever thrash their beloved investments.
 
Then again, Mclaren didn't release the performance numbers in a bid to provide the fastest possible car to go around in.

Interesting questions. Yes, P1 has a smaller battery pack than the 918 (4.7kWh vs 6.8kwH), but it also uses less powerful motor (176hp vs 279hp) and the electric motor delivers a smaller fraction of the total power than in the case of 918 (19% vs 31%), so it is possible the P1 can make it's charge last longer and even when drained it probably has less of an impact on it's performance than in case of 918. Also a smaller battery pack would recharge faster. P1 also has a 'charge' mode, where the V8 can charge the battery back up fully in 10 mins. 918 probably has one too.

Good stuff. Can't wait to see the hybrid power-train of all the three cars properly tested.
 
Got this over iMessage today from a friend, I don't know where he got it from (probably teamspeed.com)


I havent posted on the forum for a while now, hope all is well

Finally selected the color choice of the P1, should be recieving it first quarter of 2014.

Just got the final figures of the Mclaren P1
0-100km: 2.8 seconds
0-200km: 6.8 seconds
0-300km: 16.5 seconds
Quarter Mile is at 9.8@152mph

300-0 braking is at 6.2 seconds

They will be updating the car world later on with some news.
And regarding the Nurburgring lap time, it starts with a 6 and destroyed the 918
