McLaren P1

Last year at the Paris Motor show, the long awaited  McLaren P1 was unveiled. All I should have to say is wow!  The P1 is the successor of the wonderful McLaren F1, with similar styling to the MP4-12C, so with such good heritage, and after pretty much ticking all the visually pleasing criteria, I have high hopes for this machine on on how it preforms on the track.

The P1 is the successor of the wonderful McLaren F1, with similar styling to the MP4-12C. Not much is known about the P1 yet, but we are expecting anything from the V8 of the MP4-12C to a brand new twin turbo V10. It is said McLaren are working with Akebono to create a very efficient braking system. But what   we do know is that the P1 will generate over 600kg of downforce, it will use the MP4-12C's wheelbase and carbon tub, and also a KERS system too. But only 500 will be made. Better set up camp outside McLaren a couple weeks earlier. Just to be sure.
