Teaser - Autocar drives the P1


Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar is one lucky guy, he got to drive a McLaren P1! The automotive journalist has reviewed the latest british hypercar around Bahrain circuit and although this short clip is just a teaser of their upcoming full video, here we see enough speed and action to let us wait anxiously for the final video!

P1 Sold out, here's the first on sale


Less than a month ago, McLaren announced to have sold out the production of the P1. The production has started in September and actually just a couple of units (out of the 375 to be produced) have been delivered to their lucky customers but we're aware there's already the first P1 on sale.

Official: The P1 does sub-7m at the Green Hell


The time we have been waiting is nearly come. After a lot of testing and spy footages of the P1 around the Nürburgring, McLaren has shown their first official video regarding the attempt to break the 7 minutes barrier. They did it! But sadly, that's all we know. The lap time that McLaren has set to beat is 6:57 minutes belonging to the Porsche 918 Spyder. Now the questions is.. is the P1, faster than the 918?

Jay Leno drives the McLaren P1


No wonder many people wish to be Jay Leno. First of all, because he's a genuine petrolhead with a dream garage and second, because he's the first person outside McLaren to drive their latest hybrid hypercar, the P1.

More McLaren P1 Sounds



This car doesn't really need any more presentations, since the deliveries haven't started yet, it's still good to see new videos of this car testing and to hear the the sound of its 3.8L twin turbo around track!

McLaren P1 - The testing continues



The McLaren P1 is limited to 375 units with a price tag of $1.1m  and of course the whole production is completely sold out. The first deliveries will start in just two months and in the mean time the british company is about to end the final testing and developing processes for the production vehicle. McLaren has released an official video regarding a test session somewhere in Scandinavia involving the P1 with a camo wrap and snow.. a lot of snow. What you can do with 916hp and a slippery surface? The McLaren test driver certainly had good fun!

McLaren P1 interior revealed


If you have noticed, since its debut McLaren has always showed just the external lines of the P1. Finally, 3 weeks before the debut of the final version of the P1 in Geneva, McLaren reveals the interior that looks good as much as the exterior! The first thought that would comes to your mind is the lightness. Everywhere you lay your eyes you notice carbon fibre and alcantara, which gives to the car a true racing look. The lightness of the car hasn't compromised the comfort inside the cockpit, you can find the audio system, the climate control and the multimedia screen in the central tunnel, pretty similar to the 12C.

McLaren P1 on track



Back in September, 2012, McLaren showed to the world the new P1, but it was just a display model without some of the most important components such as the engine and gearbox, and that's because the car was still under development. It's the same story today, but finally McLaren teases us with a video showing the hard testing of the P1 on track (surprisingly, not at Nürburgring!), we just have to wait a few months to see the presentation at Geneva of the final version of this spectacular, hypercar flamethrower.
