Red face A Quick POV Drive of the New McLaren P1



We won't blame you if find the sheer amount of super-, sports- and luxury-cars seen in the background of this video equally, if not more, impressive than the POV (Point Of View) ride of the new McLaren P1 itself.

If you must know, the video was shot during the 'Secret Supercar Meet 2014' at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome in Leicestershire, UK, this past Saturday, with the team over at TheSupercardriver tellingt us that the owner of the P1, Paul Bailey, took the lucky winner of a charity donation for a spin reaching speeds of up to 175mph (282 km/h).

There's also a bonus clip of the P1 from the same event, which you can watch right after you cross the jump.

Default Red McLaren P1 delivered in San Francisco looks delicious [video]


Chassis No.028

One lucky supercar lover from San Francisco will be soon getting his brand-new McLaren P1. His vehicle, a Volcano red specimen, has just been delivered to the Palo Alto dealership.

A YouTuber by the name of BrianZuk has been asked to record the event and the result is the video above. It shows the car being unloaded from the truck along with a few start ups and revs.

Default McLaren P1 Car ****























Like a pissed-off supermodel, the McLaren P1 manages to look both beautiful and mean.

The British automaker has shared new photos of its P1 supercar with a menacingly dark paint job that may appear black to the naked eye, but has a hint of a dark purple shade mixed in. The photos were taken in Bahrain, a perfect match of environment to the exotic machine.

The McLaren P1 is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo hybrid V8 engine with 903 hp and accelerates to 62 mph in under three seconds. Production has been reserved to just 375 units, making the McLaren P1 not only one of the most beautiful cars available, but also one of the rarest.

See all if the latest photos of McLaren’s new supercar below.

When Jay test drove the 918 I thought he may regret getting the P1 the way he was gushing over it, but it appears that's not the case. Maybe he'll get both

Default Jay Leno talks about his new McLaren P1 with fans [video]


Chassis number 64

In late March Jay Leno became the proud owner of the very first U.S.-spec McLaren P1 supercar. During the last Supercar Sunday gathering last weekend the American actor and TV host showed his new beauty to the crowd and talked with fans about it. He admitted this is the greatest car he’s ever driven, because it’s light, very fast, fun and efficient.

Leno ordered his P1 hypercar in Volcano Yellow before even testing it in September last year. McLaren's range-topping model is being built in a limited series of 375 units.

McLaren needed someone to drive a P1 back from Belgium to the UK - it didn't take long to find some willing volunteers...

I was too until I saw Richard Hammond and Jay Leno with the 918, which is my current supercar (hypercar) crush.

I seriously cannot wait to see a P1, 918 and LaFerrari duke it out

Hopefully next season on Top Gear. They should make that a Top Gear special. Hmm.... Top Gear does China.

Outshines the 650S

The stunning McLaren P1 recently visited the Circuit de Spa Francorchamps race track in Belgium to take part in the Pure McLaren trackday. The event featured the entire model lineup of the British supercar producer including the hot 650S too.

This video, uploaded by a YouTube user, shows the flagship P1 lapping the circuit. You can also enjoy some accelerations and brutal sounds on the straight line.

This week on Ignition, Carlos Lago tests the 904 horsepower, $1.15 million McLaren P1. This rear-drive hybrid hypercar is made out of carbon fiber and boasts the latest technology from McLaren: Active suspension, aerodynamics, and brake control. Each of its specifications is as eye-opening as the horsepower and price, but how does it drive? During a brief opportunity at a damp airport in England, we find out.

Best quote of the video
