McLaren has officially revealed all the details pertaining to its P1 supercar ahead of its production debut at the Geneva Motor Show on 5 March 2013. For the purpose of maintaining exclusivity, McLaren says only 375 units will be produced.

McLaren P1 supercar – Specifications and Features

Engine Capability

The hybrid powertrain of the P1 consists of an enhanced mid-mounted 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine and an electric motor that together produce 674kW and 900Nm of torque. The race-inspired Instant Power Assist System (IPAS) allows for impressive performance. The P1 will accelerate to 100km/h in less than 3 seconds, 200km/h in less than 7 seconds and 300km/h will be achieved in no more than 17 seconds, five seconds faster than the McLaren F1 road car. The P1 has an electronically-limited top speed of 350km/h.

Styling remains largely unchanged

The only difference between the P1 concept car shown at the Paris Motor Show last year and the production version, is the addition of LTR ducts ahead of the front wheels which further aid cooling and optimise downforce.

The P1 is equipped with specification that is suitable for use on both the road and track. The P1 comes with a choice of various colours and trim alternatives and carbon-fibre trim is visible throughout the cabin.

The price for the McLaren P1 starts at approximately R11.6-million.
