McLaren P1

The new generation of hybrid hypercars, the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder, have been with us for almost a year but we’re yet to see anyone who’s compared and contrasted all three. We’ve driven the Porsche 918 Spyder, but are yet to get behind the wheel of...

We have to imagine that the average super and hypercar spends its life on a battery tender, parked in the garage of one of the four or five homes owned by the car's keeper. That's not the life that such a car deserves seeing as it was designed and engineered to go fast. Not every owner babies their...

If there’s a more unlikely pairing of serious road-going performance cars on YouTube this week, we don’t know what it is. Here, you see a single-seat, stripped-down, relatively affordable BAC Mono on an open track day as it chases and tries to hang with a McLaren P1 hypercar at...

One of the stars of this past weekend’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance was the McLaren P1 GTR, a hardcore, track-only version of the British supercar that will be built in an extremely limited run and offered only to original owners of the P1 road car. McLaren is offering the P1 as a...

McLaren has revealed its new track-focused P1, which wears the automaker’s iconic GTR badge last used on the string of McLaren F1 GTR race cars built in the mid-1990s. F1 GTRs have competed in various motorsport competitions but the car’s most famous accomplishment was overall victory...

In the automotive business, it’s quite common for companies to test their rivals’ products. However, it’s not often that you see a company’s CEO and founder get behind the wheel of the competition but that’s exactly what you see here. This photo, sourced from Keno...

McLaren Automotive, the road car division of the famous British racing team, has announced its financial results for 2013 and during the announcement also confirmed two new cars. Although we already knew the cars were coming, McLaren has now made them official and even confirmed a release date. The...

While we can never condone street racing in any form, we have to admit these guys are doing it with style. On the road in some nameless desert (perhaps part of the ongoing Goldrush Rally), a McLaren P1 finds a Bugatti Veyron and 2,000-plus horsepower is uncorked. Which wins? It’s hard to...

The latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage features the host's own McLaren P1.

Ferrari is currently hard at work on a track-only version of its LaFerrari flagship that is to be produced in addition to the regular model’s 499-car run, and now there are reports McLaren is considering doing the same with its P1. McLaren has stated that it only plans to build 375 P1s, but...

There's no doubt the McLaren P1 is a strong contender--perhaps the top contender--for the title of most advanced road-going car on the planet. But what's it like to take it from its mind-bogglingly fast normal mode into race mode? Well, it takes a while. As this video from Shmee150 illustrates...

Epic is a word that gets used a lot on the Internet. Overused, really. It should be reserved for things like this, the McLaren P1 attacking the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. Unlike many of the fastest Nürburgring lap videos, this is not a raw in-car GoPro dump. It's a celebration of the...

With the first P1s now on their way to their eagerly awaiting customers, McLaren is finally confirming some of the car’s performance figures. Many of the specs we already know but now they are no longer preliminary figures: they are what the 375 buyers of the P1 will actually be able to...

McLaren Automotive and Forza 5 teamed up earlier this year to offer a competition with the grand prize being a ride-along in the McLaren P1. With little more than dropping your name in a digital hat as the price of entry, the P1 ride-along was quite the enticing prize. For one lucky participant...

McLaren is going all-out for the launch of Forza Motorsport 5, and while such competitions are usually more hassle than the prizes are worth, in this case, you might want to take a moment to consider. The winner will get a ride-along in a McLaren P1. Launched earlier this week, the new Forza...

There's every reason to be excited about the arrival of the McLaren P1--no matter how unlikely an in-person sighting of one in the wild might be. It's a 217-mph, 903-horsepower, twin-turbo V-8 hybrid, for Pete's sake. It is in this spirit that we bring you this gorgeous, completely gratuitous...

The Need For Speed franchise is heading to the big screen, and to help take it there will be a slew of the latest supercar models, including the new McLaren P1. A burnt orange example of the McLaren, similar to the original prototype that debuted at the 2012 Paris Auto Show, was recently spotted on...

The battle of the hybrid supercars is on, and this is the first engagement: McLaren's P1 versus the Ferrari LaFerrari. As the figures show, the two cars are closely matched, though the LaFerrari wins on outright power, with 47 more horses on tap. McLaren goes about generating its power in a...

With all the excitement surrounding the reveal of the new La Ferrari, it’s easy to forget that McLaren also had a new flagship supercar on show in Geneva today, the new P1. Interestingly, the two cars have very similar specs on paper, and both have similar technology onboard. That...

This is the McLaren P1 supercar as it will appear at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show on March 5 and in McLaren showrooms all around the globe later in the year. The production version looks almost identical to the concept version unveiled last year in Paris, with only a few subtle details to tell them...
