Word has it McLaren is considering offering a full bare carbon fiber option for its new P1 hybrid supercar. With a no-cost partial carbon fiber option already available, the British manufacturer could introduce a full body choice following multiple customer requests.
According to Cars UK, the full carbon fiber body option is currently being discussed at McLaren, and while a decision has yet to be made, such an option is expected to be made available with a hefty price tag. Whatever the case, we can assume that some deep-pocketed enthusiasts will be brave enough to throw in more of their hard-earned in order to get an even more exclusive P1.
The no-cost option currently offered by McLaren for the P1 includes the roof, a front bumper section and the sections within the doors.
Available for about €1 million ($1.3 million), the McLaren P1 will be built in only 375 units, of which 250 were already booked last month. The hypercar is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine and an electric motor combo which delivers 903 HP. The hybrid can reach 60 mph (96 km/h) from a standing start in under three seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 217 mph (349 km/h). The P1 also benefits from a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) and can run about 12 miles on electric power alone.
