The production version of the McLaren P1 is here, and boosts some impressive numbers!
The enigne's the same 3.8 liter V8 as in the MP4-12C, but upgraded to 737 hp, and a second electric engine is added, delivering 179 hp which makes a grand total of 916 bhp!
This hybrid can do 6 miles on pure electric power, but of course the extra power should be used like the 'KERS' button in a Formula 1 car. And speaking of F1, the rear wing can be lowered to reduce drag, like the DRS in F1.
0-100 kph in less than 3 seconds, 0-200KPH in less than 7, and 0-300 in less than 17 seconds. Top speed is limited to 350 kph.
The price? 866,000 GBP before taxes... Better hurry though as production will be limited to 375 pieces.
I think it looks stunning, with hints to their first production car, the F1.
And to bring the formula 1 fight to the streets, Ferrari will unveal a car with very similar specs soon too...
