Cars : 2014 McLaren P1
The McLaren P1 is a concept car by English automotive manufacturer McLaren Automotive. It previews the follow-up to the long-awaited McLaren F1 successor. The P1's styling is influenced by the McLaren MP4-12C but with added body panels to make the car look aggressive. It will not have the same three seat layout as its predecessor, the McLaren F1. The design of the headlights is also reminiscent of the McLaren logo.
Secondary sources have indicated that it could feature a 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 engine and a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) for a combined power output of 976 PS (718 kW; 963 bhp). This may enable the P1 to reach a theoretical top speed of approximately 384 km/h (239 mph) with production beginning in early 2013 and sales taking place towards the end of the year.
It debuted at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.
Tom Moore from The Manufacturer magazine revealed that the P1 will cost £700,000 before taxes and that McLaren Automotive plans to limit production to just 500.
As with the McLaren F1 road car of 1992, the McLaren P1 is a mid-engine design that uses a carbon fibre monocoque and roof structure safety cage concept called MonoCage, which is a development of the MonoCell used in the current MP4-12C and MP4-12C Spider upgrade that came out in early 2012.
