Mclaren p1 seen for the first time on the road...

[yajeed]

Not what you expect to see/hear pulling into the work car park.

It's a fairly pretty thing in real life, much better than the pictures I'd seen. Sounded fantastic too - almost like a motorbike with open race pipes.

Looks very menacing in black too. Let's just hope my numbers come up this weekend

Are you joking?! What, where, when?! Haha we need details .

Surely not.... unless of course OP works at Mclaren of course...

I saw a black LHD one on the M25 a few months ago, what colour was the one you saw?

I've spotted the black one in Chobham High street and also on the M25 near to Cobham services.

I can report that it 'shifts' lol.

A Friend of mine Mark Morris spotted this Mclaren in Crossgates this afternoon, usually I put my own on here but this was to nice not to share with my fellow spotters :-) absolutely stunning!!

I saw a black one about six weeks ago around J7 of the M25. It was sat doing 60 in lane 1 making no noise at all. I sat behind it for a bit hoping it'd spring to life, but got bored after a few minutes and drove off.

I saw a black one today M25/M1 junction. No camo, just black paint. It still looked like a proto though I think, some bits didn't quite fit flush, although there are so many aero bits you wonder which bit should go where. Good noise even at low revs and constant speed. It looked big in the mirrors but actually quite compact from the side. Sorry couldn't take a pic nor a video.

Saw a black one on the road to Bognor,of all places,think it was on Saywell saturday at Goodwood. Was amazed how low and slender in profile the rear flanks are.

had a play around with one when i had the 675, it spat out flames at me so i had to return the favor!!

Probably the same one - black and here for a little bit of work by our neighbours by the look of it.
I'll upload some better pictures in the morning

I saw an orange P1 this evening on the way out of the Mclaren Technology Centre. Looks very imposing stuck in traffic amongst Audi's, VW's etc.

Saw the yellow one on the M25 about a month ago

I friend was told it's the first customer car and is ready to be delivered!

I saw the grey one by the Tescos on the A308 next to J1 on the M3 about three weeks ago. It was in traffic making a wonderful noise. I also saw the yellow one going round the roundabout on the end of Kingston Bridge last week- wonder if it had been visiting PH towers?

Saw a black one on the M1 last week.

Saw one at the Longcross track testing a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was a modified Exige to start with. I got told off for taking pics.

The Aventadors testing on the same day made the P1 and other McLarens look very ordinary.
