Good move, that will make the shape pop much more.

Straight swap for my 600LT !! lol.. how you finding things with steering wheel on the wrong side ??

Most of what I have is LHD to be honest, when I'm driving something nice I instinctively go for the left hand door to get in! So I'm pretty used to it

That's lovely.

In the high down force/dropped suspension mode these look incredible.

Can we have a pic of it in this mode?

[barchetta_boy]

I don't actually have any pics of it in this mode as i must be the only person who thinks it looks best with the wing stowed, but next time I get it out I'll put it in Race mode and take some photos

Absolutely stunning!

Green refresh symbol normally relates to auto start stop - green means that it is possible for it to operate, amber means that it is temporarily disabled for some reason.

Thanks for sharing! Love the colour.

I'm with you on that! I never leave the wing up on my 675LT, much prefer the clean lines without :-) All for silver wheels too.

I have stuck with the liquid metal finish from new; most opinions are that I should go matt black to match the carbon, but that's not for me.



With no brake dust generated, they aren't even an issue to clean.

That is an absolute stunning P1

I ended up in a mac due to front view of a P1, and imo, i don't think McLaren shall better it and still looks fresh now.

Really looking forward to your ownership updates.

Yep incredible thread, well done making this happen!

[Motorsport Spectator]

Congrats, that’s a stunning example!

Got a canvas on the wall of a similar spec. A dream car for sure

[barchetta_boy]

Was racing at the Silverstone Classic Festival over the weekend. Decided to arrive in style



Got back in to go home and petrol range showing as zero miles and nearest fuel is 8 miles from Silverstone. Didn’t fancy breaking down so my race mechanic came to the rescue



P1 surprisingly comfortable on the way home and speed limited function on the cruise control lever works so well to keep you safe from cameras on the M25

Home and freshly detailed the next day ready to tuck away

Glorious, great car, great spec, top work

[bolidemichael]

Are you basically an exhibition on wheels when driving this thing? It seems as though one would be aware that all eyes were on the car and the driver.

[barchetta_boy]

In terms of attention I’d say the colour is very important. If it was yellow or volcano orange it would draw a lot more. As it is, it gets more than an F50 or Carrera GT but a lot less than F40

[barchetta_boy]

Looks amazing at night from the back

[MDL111]

it does - P1 one of the best rear views ever imo

I'll be honest, from an aesthetic perspective, I just can't get excited about modern McLarens, but that view is exceptional.
