McLaren Shows Production P1 During Track Testing

McLaren used last year’s Paris Motor Show to give us the P1, a supercar that would sit above the fabulous MP4-12C. However, the vehicles shown at the French event was a mere design study - the real dynamic performer is now in its testing phase and the British carmaker is offering us a new video of the P1.
The clip shows us the production car being put through its paces on the track: “A dedicated team of McLaren engineers, technicians and racing drivers are running a fleet of XP-codenamed vehicles, around the clock in some of the most demanding conditions, and on roads and circuits across the globe.”

McLaren let us know that the P1 will feature an Akebono braking system, Pirelli tires, as well as a Mobil 1 cooling, lubrication and hydraulic fluids.

The clip allows us to see some special features of the P1, all of which send our jaws to the floor. For example, the active wing on the MP4-12C has an impressive travel, but the P1 takes this to a whole new level. The same thing can be said about the flames that come out of the P1’s exhaust...
