The McLaren P1™: the next steps towards production

The McLaren P1™ was unveiled to the world as a design study at the Paris Motor Show in September 2012, and was met with the glare of a thousand camera flashes. Since then, development of the technology beneath the carbon fibre skin has continued at great pace. The team at McLaren Automotive has continued the relentless testing programme for the car. The goal being: to produce the best driver's car in the world on road and track.

Might be able to beat aventador? The aventador just about beats a 12C. Just look at the performance specs for the p1 and aventador, they aren't in the same league as someone has said. The Lambo is great but its heavy and doesn't have as much power.

Yeah, whilst there are hardly anything that can beat MP4 on the tracks, on most drag races, it is really hard for a turbo-ed v8 to beat v12 and even v16s.

That being said, this thing have nearly 900 combined horsepower(electric+ICE), and would weight similar to MP4.

If it had AW drive as well, it might be able to beat aventador and likes on drags as well.

And he would be called Galvatron!
