2014 McLaren P1 Concept and News

Is McLaren MP4 – 12C was also stuck Lambo – kept your design tastes ? McLaren tops the range , P1 supercar , looks like a cyborg Gaboon viper and made ​​its debut at the Paris Auto Show this year .
For now , the P1 – short for Project 1 , which is the nickname of iconic predecessor in Woking hallways about 20 years ago – just a ” design study , ” The details may change between now and the start of sales in about a year . McLaren shaped lights – logos tend to remain , and roof – mounted intake inspired by F1 are sanctified is a certainty . Inlet that is integrated into the carbon fiber monocoque evolution monocell McLaren , now called MonoCage , and guiding other aircraft to – the – mid engine – mounted , which we believe will be a V – 8 .
” WHAT , ” reader aghast asked , ” is the V – 8 in a car intended to rival the 12 -cylinder Ferrari and Lamborghini ? ” 3.8 – liter V – 8 engine McLaren developed entirely in – house and using their own blocks and architecture . Earlier this year , the head of vehicle development firm , Geoff Grose , told us V – 8 is meant to be the center of more than one car . Do not worry about power , version MP4 – 12C on the twin-turbocharged engine already makes 618 hp . ( By the way , anyone remember how much the F1 made ​​? Was 618 on the nose . )
To put the power to the pavement , P1 aided by a large number of downforce – more than 1300 pounds , if McLaren can be trusted . That’s five times as much as that produced by MP4 – 12C and roughly the same type produced by pushing downward MP4 – 12C GT3 race car . At a time when the brutal army surplus to requirements , the driver can increase or decrease the amount generated by adjusting the rear wing angle of attack. ( Think of it as your own Formula 1 private system drag – reduction , and you do not have to be within a second of anyone to use it . )

Other details that we have collected from McLaren about P1 : Unlike F1 , the new car will seat two people , not three , and in a position side – by -side conventional . The door will be from a variety of people – beautiful , raised and out like the MP4 – 12C . McLaren has a carbon fiber plant at the site , so expect lightweight materials to be used everywhere in P1 – and for all .
Details will be finalized when McLaren revealed the production version of the P1 some time early next year .
