Chameleon Carbon Fiber McLaren P1 Owned by Entrepreneur Who Once Lived in a Car

The debate on whether supercars and hypercar built from carbon fiber should come with panels built from the wonder material and let the world see it isn't going to end too soon, but we're here to show you a peace proposal, one that should please both camps.

Sure, with 903 hp on tap, the McLaren P1 in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, isn't exactly what you'd call peaceful. Nevertheless, the chameleon carbon finish of the car, which allows us to notice the weave of the material underneath, but still plays the color-changing game, should please those who aim for a "solid" color, as well as those who adore the texture of the carbon.

Of course, gifting an already-insane vehicle such as the Woking halo car with such a finish might be too much for certain aficionados, but you can't please everybody.

The gas-electric McLaren is owned by Manny Khoshbin, an entrepreneur who's story follows that of many overly successful immigrants. The man reached the U.S. at the age of 14 and started off with virtually nothing. Having kicked off his American dream with a job at Kmart, Many ended up becoming successful in the real estate business, going through a financial rollercoaster for more than half a decade in the process.

However, the Middle Eastern businessman, who is said to have lived in a car once, is now enjoying the fruits of his labor, with go-fast machines playing an important role in his life.

In fact, we've added a few photos from the man's Instagram account below, so you can check out more of his collection - as many of you have noticed, P1 owners tend to have a garage packed with other go-fast contraptions and Manny is no exception.

P.S.: The Air Brake photo is there to ensure you don't miss the special status of this Big Mac.

There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
