With only a few months remaining until the first deliveries
will be made to just 375 customers, the development programme for the McLaren
P1 continues to accelerate as it nears its end. This extensive work is being
carried out to ensure that the McLaren P1 delivers on the target of being “the
best driver’s car in the world on road and track”…or a frozen lake, for that
matter.
As part of durability testing, the development team recently
travelled with the McLaren P1 to the dramatic frozen landscapes of the Arctic
Circle, in northern Sweden. Here, the car was put through its paces and tested
to the extremes, in some of the most hostile and toughest conditions on the
planet.
The testing schedule continues at pace, with XP prototypes
running extensively across the globe, working to optimise the groundbreaking
systems and technologies which have been borne of 50 years of race-winning
knowledge and expertise.
The culmination of this testing and infamous McLaren
attention to detail will be showcased over the summer, when the McLaren P1 will publicly demonstrate the power available from the mid-mounted 3.8-litre
twin-turbo V8 petrol engine and highly effective electric motor which generate 674kW,
with a number of dynamic displays.
As plans for the 50th anniversary celebrations for
McLaren continue, it has also been confirmed that the latest model from McLaren
Automotive will feature as part of the planned activities at this year’s
Goodwood Festival of Speed.
