McLaren P1, the all new British hypercar is currently making sounds for all the right reasons. The car is back in news as McLaren revealed today that they are continuing to test the P1 extensively, as shown in the new video here.
Shown publicly at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show,
McLaren will begin the deliveries of the P1 in a few months. But until
then, they want to utilize every bit of time on their hand in testing
their new P1. Here they are seen testing the P1 in the extreme climate
of Arctic Circle, in northern Sweden in the video below.
McLaren says, this is all part of their durability testing for the P1, after all they need to turn every leaf in the book in order to deliver a car which they claim is the best driver’s car. Speaking more about their testing phase, “The testing schedule continues at pace, with XP prototypes running extensively across the globe, working to optimise the groundbreaking systems and technologies which have been borne of 50 years of race-winning knowledge and expertise.” Demand for P1 has already crossed the production capacity, which is limited to just 375 units. The new P1 Hyper car will be priced at $1.15 million (INR 6,20,97,700). It is powered by a 3.8 liter turbocharged V8 engine and an electric motor, together offering 903 hp power, resulting in a top speed of 350 kmph. P1 can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 3 seconds and from 0 to 200 kmph in 7 seconds.
