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.

If true then Porsche needs to find a monumental improvement with their next try in the 918.

Considering 918 was developed at the ring and P1 wasn't, I would hazard a guess that the 918's 6:57 is more closer to it's full potential than P1's. As awesome as competition is I hope it doesn't descent into a silly dick measuring contest or we will soon end up with cars set up specifically for the ring and sucks everywhere else.

ps. I bet LaFerarri 6:37 is coming soon.
 
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.
veyron SS was tested 0-300 kph 17.5s (without topspeed key)

Agree about the Porsche though I'm not sure whether the Ferrari will be any quicker, at this level improves are harder to achieve. I'm curious to know if these cars are set up differently from customer cars.
 
^I was kidding about Ferrari. But if they do claim a time, I bet my ass they will somehow make sure it is faster.
 
Would love too see a Ring time of 6:47 confirmed by McLaren. As I have said earlier this year, what a great time to be a car enthusiast! It's great to see the best sports car manufacturers in the world duke it out for hypercar supremacy.

I think I will take your GT3 over your ass, thanks.
 
1 km @ 310 km/h. Ridiculous. In a positive way. :wideyed:

(the Enzo needed 1,5 km only to 300 km/h...)
