The McLaren P1 is one of the most important performance cars of the modern era. Unveiled in 2012 as part of McLaren’s Ultimate Series, the P1 represented a bold leap into hypercar territory and formed part of the revered ‘Holy Trinity’ of next-generation performance cars, alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and Porsche 918 Spyder. This example is chassis number 231 of just 375 units produced worldwide, making the P1 not only the rarest of the three but also a true collector’s piece that showcases McLaren’s cutting-edge technology and Formula One expertise.

Named after ‘Position 1’ in Formula One, the P1 reflects McLaren’s ambition to lead both on the road and on the track. It is built around a lightweight carbon-fibre MonoCage chassis, weighing just 90 kg. The P1 delivers instantaneous electric torque combined with the intensity of an internal combustion engine. Its hybrid powertrain produces a combined 903 bhp (727 bhp from its twin-turbocharged V8 and 176 bhp from its electric motor), propelling it from 0–62 mph in just 2.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 217 mph.

To manage its immense power, the car features carbon ceramic brakes for outstanding stopping performance and active aerodynamics capable of producing up to 600 kg of downforce in Race mode. Each corner is controlled by McLaren’s advanced Race Chassis Control system, which uses active dampers to continuously optimise handling and ride quality. Borrowing directly from Formula One technology, the P1 is also equipped with a Drag Reduction System (DRS), reducing rear wing drag to improve straight line speed.
