McLaren has officially released the long awaited McLaren P1GTR
Call it the famed paint scheme, or the monster rear wing. Or maybe it's the 986 hp on tap. Or the $3 million price tag. Whatever it is, the P1 GTR, dressed for its official reveal in Geneva, looks utterly magnificent.
The downside of the P1GTR is that it is only meant for the racetrack.
The "base" P1 is one of the fastest hypercars on the planet. The P1 GTR will be faster. A lot faster. The 3.8-liter turbocharged V-8 gets a 62 hp bump while the electric motor zaps an additional 21 hp. Further more, 110 lbs. of weight is shed by using "motorsports derived parts" like polycarbonate side windows, as well as ditching superfluous items needed for road homologation. The front track is 80mm wider, the ride height is 50mm lower and the adjustable rear wing has been replaced by a fixed one, albeit still capable of the DRS feature. This wing is set 100mm higher than the road-going P1's most aggressive setting, helping ensure total downforce levels increase by 10 percent, or 1,455 lbs. at 150 mph. Let that number sink in for a second.
