McLaren Announces the McLaren P1 GTR

Teaser for McLaren P1 GTR

 

Twenty years on from victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans by the now legendary McLaren F1 GTR, McLaren Automotive will resurrect the iconic name from its history for the track-only edition of the award-winning McLaren P1™. The limited-run model will go into production when the 375th and final example of the road car has been completed, and in homage to its race-winning ancestor, the most powerful McLaren to date will be named the McLaren P1™ GTR.

 

Priced at just under £2 Million, you can find more info on this highly limited run car at http://media.mclarenautomotive.com/release/257/

The numbers:

– 0-60mph : 2.8 sec
– 0-100mph : 5.2 sec
– 0-150mph : 10.6 sec (Veyron : 10.2 sec)
– 0-190mph : 21.4 sec (Veyron : 19.4 sec)
– 1/4 mile : 10.2 sec (Veyron 10.1 sec)
– Standing km : 18,2 sec (Veyron 18,0 sec)
– Dry circuit : 1min06sec8 (Veyron 1min08sec5), with some wet patches, so best could be better according to Autocar.
– Wet circuit : 1min20sec5 (Veyron 1min11sec6)
– Skidpan : 1.22g

Regarding the lap time: “The Veyron lapped the track in 1min 8.5sec while Ferrari’s F12 managed it in 1min 8.6sec. The P1 might have lapped even faster but for two damp patches; one in a high-speed bend, the other in a heavy braking zone.”

And a comparison to other lap times Autocar has achieved:
