McLaren P1 turns five: Pic of the Week

We've driven the world's most famous P1 on the road - here's your desktop preview!

In 2012 the motoring world was astounded when McLaren revealed the P1 concept, and even more so when an almost unchanged production version emerged at Geneva just a few months later.

375 models were built including P1 OOV, the most famous of the bunch being showcased on multiple magazine covers as well as on this site. As part of the celebration, journalists were allowed to drive the prototype (then press car) on track and on road; now with over 20,000 miles, the car has an incredible history and a wonderful patina (because that's what you call a valuable car with scuffs and marks). It's also perhaps the most valuable P1 around, though McLaren says it will never sell...

However, the high mileage and hard usage appear to have not aged the car at all. It still looks absolutely stunning and incredibly purposeful in Race Mode, especially in this side on view.
