McLaren has written to all P1 'clients' asking them if they'd be interested in a "more extreme" track spec version of the hybrid hypercar to accompany their
roadgoing P1
Indeed, ownership of a P1 would be the minimum entry criteria. That and the necessary money and room in your garage to add a track version of which McLaren is saying it would make in a "low double digits" production run. A price has not yet been mooted but this would be a "distinct model" in McLaren's words and only put into production once all 375 road cars have been built. Like Ferrari's FXX programme this would not simply be a case of buying a car to sit and admire in your air conditioned man cave - McLaren will be supporting the new model with competitive track events for owners to prove their mettle against each other.
Technical details have not been revealed, beyond confirming that the P1 track car (if built) will have "more power and torque, wider track, ride set in Race mode" and will retain the IPAS system. Fixed aero is also being discussed but yet to be confirmed. There's no mention of weight savings but given the stripping out of the stuff required for street usability you'd have to hope for some weight reduction; there's no 'duality' needed here.
Given the potential performance levels of such a car McLaren's offer of driver training as part of the owner programme seems sensible. Performance upgrades in the car are one thing but if you're going to make the most of it you'll need some skill-based ones too. And, perhaps, bigger neck muscles.
Just so long as it makes big flames we'll be happy.
