After unveiling the P1 Concept at the 2012 Paris Auto Show, McLaren presented the production version at a private event in New York City. According to McLaren, the model that was shown in New York is "97% of the car that you will be able to order." The only thing that we will be added are some "vents to the bumper to get some of the warm air from the radiator coming out from the side," McLaren added. Likewise, the mesh grille will also be replaced by a tighter version while the front bumper and rear grille will also be slightly updated. McLaren said nothing about the car’s powertrain, but it has been rumored that we will see a 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce an output of about 800 horsepower mated to a Graziano seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The model will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds, from 0 to 100 mph in 5.5 seconds, and 0-200 mph in just 20 seconds. However, such impressive performance numbers won’t come cheap: it is believed the P1 will be priced at about $1 million. .
15 comments: Video: McLaren P1 Private Unveiling i wonder when will come out on the market, what the real performance numbers will be and the final price for the car.
that is right. but hey, the car can easily justify that price. i mean, it is top tech and a hyper-car.
midocar, a high price offers exclusivity. because it means less people can buy the car. so the car is better.
the P1 seems to have all it takes to take on the big dogs! and the price seems to be right for such a car.
