About the P1:
The McLaren P1 is a limited-production plug-in hybrid sports car
that was debuted at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. Sales of the P1
began in the United Kingdom in October 2013 and all 375 units were
sold out by November. Production ended in early December 2015.The
United States accounted for 34% of the units and Europe for
26%.
Utilizing hybrid power and Formula 1 technology, the P1 has a
mid-engine, rear wheel drive design that used a carbon fiber
monocoque and roof structure safety cage concept called MonoCage,
which is a development of the MonoCell first used in the MP4-12C
and then in subsequent models.
Its main competitors were the LaFerrari and the Porsche 918. They
are all similar in specifications and performance, and in a race
around Silverstone circuit they were all within half a second of
each other, the P1 finishing first at 58.24 seconds and the
LaFerrari finishing last at 58.58 seconds; the 918 was in-between
with 58.46 seconds.
Parts of the car were inspired by a sailfish that Frank Stephenson
saw when on holiday in Miami.
The P1 features a 3.8 L twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The twin
turbos boost the petrol engine at 20.3 psi to deliver 727HP at
7,500 rpm and 531 lb�ft of torque at 4,000 rpm, combined with an
in-house-developed electric motor producing 177HP and 192 lb�ft of
torque.
The electric motor and the gas engine in the P1, produce a combined
power output of 903HP and 723 lb�ft of torque. The electric motor
can be deployed manually by the driver or left in automatic mode,
whereby the car's ECUs 'torque fill' the gaps in the petrol
engine's output, which is considered turbo lag. This gives the
powertrain an effective powerband of almost 7,000 rpm. The car has
rear-wheel-drive layout and is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch
transmission developed by Graziano Trasmissioni.
Power for the electric motor is stored in a 324-cell lithium-ion
high-density battery pack located behind the cabin, developed by
Johnson Matthey Battery Systems. The battery can be charged by the
engine or through a plug-in equipment and can be fully charged in
two hours. The car can be operated using either the petrol engine,
the electric motor or with a combination of the two.
The P1 has an all-electric range of at least 6.2 mi on the combined
European drive cycle. Under the EPA cycle, the range in EV mode is
19 mi.
The P1 has Formula 1 derived features such as the Instant Power
Assist System (IPAS), which gives an instant boost in acceleration
via the electric motor, a Drag Reduction System (DRS) which
operates the car's rear wing, thereby increasing straight line
speed, and a KERS. Both of these features (IPAS, DRS) are operated
via two buttons on the steering wheel.
According to McLaren the P1 accelerates from 0-62 mph in 2.8
seconds, 0-124 mph in 6.8 seconds, and 0-186 mph in 16.5 seconds,
making it a full 5.5 seconds faster than the F1, and a standing
quarter mile is claimed in 9.8 seconds at 152 mph.
Autocar tested 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds, 0-120 mph in 6.9 seconds,
the standing quarter mile in 10.2 seconds at 147.5 mph The P1 is
electronically limited to a top speed of 217 mph.
The P1 has a dry weight of 3,075 lbs, giving it a power-to-weight
ratio of 656 PS/ton. It has a curb weight of 3,411 lbs which
translates to 601 PS/ ton.
The P1 also features bespoke Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires and
specially developed carbon-ceramic rotor, caliper and brake pads
from Akebono. According to McLaren it takes 6.2 seconds to brake
from 186 mph to standstill.
Production was strictly limited to 375 units which, according to
McLaren, is to maintain exclusivity.
After some delays, production began in October 2013. Hand-assembled
by a team of 61 engineers, at a production rate of one car per day
McLaren production was planned for fifty cars by the end of 2013.
The first delivery to a retail customer took place at the company's
headquarters in Woking, England, in October 2013,[with 12 units
manufactured by mid November 2013. The first P1 delivery in the
U.S. occurred in May 2014.The production run ended in December
2015.
According to JATO Dynamics, only twenty units had been registered
worldwide during the first nine months of 2014. A total of 12 P1s
were registered in Switzerland during 2014,and an additional five
units between January and August 2015. About 59 units were
delivered in the U.S. in 2014, and sales in the American market
totaled about 127 units delivered through December 2015.
