If you want the most hardcore offering built by McLaren, now's the time to act. Tom Hartley Jnr in England has a McLaren P1 GTR for sale, and this is one of the ultra-rare versions that's legal for the street. Typically, the P1 GTR is restricted to track use only, but a company called Lanzante Motorsport delivers road-legal versions after fiddling with the car. Allegedly, only 30 road-legal versions exist, and this one is waiting for a new owner. McLaren built just 58 copies of its P1 GTR. That would be the race-ready version of the hypercar P1. With the GTR version, you get 986 horsepower...

A McLaren P1 Experimental Prototype is for sale
When an automaker is developing a new vehicle, it first creates prototype versions that get thrashed to hell and back. Validation tests put specific areas of a vehicle in high-stress situations so engineers can find what's going to break, and what they can do to stop it from breaking. When a...

Go behind the scenes of the McLaren P1 LM's record-setting Nürburgring lap time
This past May, a new king of the Nürburgring Nordschilfe was crowned when the McLaren P1 LM became the quickest street-legal car around the famed, 12.9-mile long circuit. "Street-legal" and "production" lap times are different, however. The P1 LM is a McLaren-backed project by Lanzante, which...

Have values for the 'Holy Trinity' of hypercars peaked already?

McLaren P1 LM sets new street-legal Nürburgring record

British motorsport and engineering skunk works Lanzante is responsible for a rare beast known as the McLaren P1 LM. This is the same Lanzante that fielded the McLaren F1 GTR race car that won overall in the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, and in 2016 the company took the beefed up P1 GTR track special and somehow made it street-legal. It only did this to five customer cars plus a sixth prototype, the latter of which was spotted last week storming the Nürburgring and looking and sounding absolutely insane. You can even see sparks fly as the 986-horsepower hybrid machine scrapes the track...

Here's your chance to buy a street-legal McLaren P1 GTR
The McLaren P1 GTR is the track-only version of the P1 hypercar. That makes it something of a rare beast, considering that you're unlikely to even see a standard P1 roll past. You really shouldn't be able to see a P1 GTR on the road, but thanks to a company called Lanzante Motorsport you just...
