The Official McLaren P1 Thread

[Mark ANTAR]

As the title suggests, thought it would be good to start a new P1 thread. We'll be discussing everything P1 related (news, rumours...) here.

I'll start with a post that McLaren London shared on their Facebook page today. Quite teasing, have to say!
"Interesting week ahead - lots to tell you!!"

Sub 10 second 1/4 mile....

And at 152mph!!! That's about 6mph faster than the Veyron Super Sport and 3mph faster than the Agera R which is absolutely bonkers!!

Anyone know how these compare to an Enzo or a Buggatti? Just interested in how things are moving on.

1/4 mile is faster than a Veyron SS and 300kph-0 is also better than the current Guinness world record time, which was set by the Agera R (6.66S) whereas the non-official record is held by the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (6.5s and 269m). We have to keep in mind that the P1 is a track monster and was not specifically made for pure straight-line speed and acceleration.

P1 is lapping the Ring now. Should easily break the current record of 6:57.

But is it sub 7 seconds in standard form or running slicks etc...?

Standard tyres of course. They were specially developed by Pirelli for the P1.

Well, it doesn't really matter what you would call them does it?
If they're fitted to the car as standard, then they're standard tyres, which I would expect
to be road legal.

That's exactly what I was going to say.
