Despite having the honor of holding the top place in the Jalopnik universe with the McLaren MP4-12C, the independent British carmaker has bigger plans. Behold, the much teased McLaren P1 supercar. The replacement for the venerable McLaren F1 and the dream of drivers everywhere.

McLaren promises nothing less than "the best driver's car in the world on road and track." For once, we're not at all skeptical.

What you're seeing is not a production car exactly. This is a "design study" that'll debut in person at the Paris Motor Show but one that is supposed to preview the next generation car — set to go on sale within 12 months.

Here's what McLaren's chairman Ron Dennis has to say about it "P1 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with P1 is to redefine it once again."

McLaren P1: This Is The World's Next Greatest SupercarOtherwise, McLaren is fairly mum on details. It'll be faster and more expensive than the 12C, but otherwise they haven't said much. There are plenty of rumored specs that say the vehicle will have a 3.8-liter V8 producing 803 horsepower matched to a 160 horsepower KERS system giving it 963 combined horsepower.

Rumors, yes, but when McLaren says they'll build a car that will be the "quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit" there's evidence to back up their claims. They've done it before.

We'll be at the Paris Motor Show later this month shooting it in glorious detail.

I like it, a lot. maybe no the massive grin, but the lines are nice and a big rear diffuser :thumbsup:
oh and 803hp+160 KERS, YES!

Im lovin how they did the tail lights.
Looks sick

[k3lv]

i actually dont like the top of the back end. Its unique and different but it doesnt work for me, everything else like the rear diffuser, side and front look amazing though

[twitchyzero]

^ i didn't like the MP4-12C's rear end because it's as if it's trying to pay homage to pontiac by mashing the front and rear end of the Grand AM together..but the its rendention on the P1 looks super aggressive so it's pretty nice.

The new McLaren P1 ‘ultimate supercar’ will have a power-to-weight ratio of over 600bhp per tonne when it goes on sale in late 2013, suggesting, if the P1 is lighter than the MP4-12C, a total output of around 720bhp.

The company will not release any information about the drivetrain, interior or specific performance, but it the engine is expected to receive some kind of hybrid assistance.

Making its public debut today at the Paris motor show, the company says the P1 takes its ‘technological and spiritual inspiration’ from the company’s Racing division and has "one simple goal….to be the best driver’s car in the world on road and track." The concept P1 shown at Paris has no interior, but the exterior is described as "more than 95 percent" of the the final production car.

It is claimed the P1 can generate 600kg of downforce at a pace "well below" the car’s maximum speed, a figure that is around five time more than the is generated by the current 12C road car and around the same as the 12C GT3 car. Programme director Paul Mackenzie says that the P1 was designed to feel like a "proper racing car" at the push of a button, which could then be driven home in "great comfort and refinement."

Autocar has learnt the P1 will have three different ride-height modes, with the lowest for track work. This latter track mode ensures that the car’s side skirts and rear diffuser work properly but also mean that the diffuser’s carbon fibre strakes are just a couple of inches above the track surface.

The P1 uses a different core carbon fibre structure - dubbed Mono-Cage - to the 12C, which incorporates a carbon roll-bar over the cabin. The roll-bar is exposed on the outside of the vehicle and also incorporates an air scoop which feeds 'clean' (aerodynamically unruffled) air into the engine bay.

The car’s basic 'jellymould' engineering package was generated primarily by aerodynamic concerns and the desire the shrink the exterior to an absolute minimum. This package was used as the basis for three design proposals, from which this final design was chosen.

The final shape is described as more of a joint engineering/design production than a styling exercise, but Frank Stephenson says that the P1 was intended to look like a "Le Mans racer...with a long, low body, long rear deck and open mesh styling to put the mechanicals on view on help cooling" .

The car’s external appearance is driven by two main requirements: the need to get air in and around the car and the need to get heat out. The most striking thing about the P1 is the huge air intakes that have been accommodated in the doors. As well as the large intake cut into the door skin, there is second intake cut into the top of the door skin, that channels air into the rear radiators through the door structure itself.

The are three 'low temperature' radiators in the nose and much of the front-end sculpting is dedicated to directing smooth airflow into the car’s intakes. Sources say the airflow into the rear of the 12C is not as aerodynamically clean as it could be because of turbulence created by the car’s front wheel. Channeling air into the P1’s engine bay over the top of the front wing and into the door’s upper intake solves this problem.

Interestingly, the rear wing intakes close to the wheels are called 'clutch' scoops, raising the possibility that they might be used to cool some kind of KERS-type flywheel system.

The P1’s huge - double element - rear wing can automatically adjust by up to 300mm rearwards on a racetrack and by up to 120mm on the road. The pitch of the wing can increase by up to 29 degrees. It also works in the same way as F1 Drag Reduction Systems, by changing angle to allow greater straight line speeds.

Under the front of the car, ahead of the front wheels, are two flaps that operate through a 0-60 degree range and are designed to "boost downforce and aero efficiency…increasing speed and driver comfort". The flaps and rear wing work in conjunction with one another.

The extreme temperatures generated by the engine is partly expelled by a 'chimney' which exits behind the cockpit. Most heat is expelled from the tail area, which is exposed as hexagonal mesh. To maximise the surface area, the tail lights have been reduced to thin LED strips which, says design director Frank Stephenson, are legal and will appear on the production car. The final car will also get a conventional windscreen wiper, but might feature a new type of rain-repellent glass the means the wiper is rarely needed at higher speeds.

The car’s skin is made from "extraordinarily thin" carbon-fibre panels which are moulded in large sections. The whole of the rear and the whole of the front of the car are made up of one single carbon fibre moulding.

The car will be offered in left-hand drive only, scotching rumours that is could resurrect the central driving position. It is likely to carry a price tag of between £700k and £800k. The final car - and the full technical details - will be released next spring.

Not sure about the back end, but the front and sides are... very, very enticing and fluid.

Good choice to get Jay Leno... he is a super car collector, and famous.

Read something about the kers system not holding enough charge for the full length of the track as it only regenerates from engine braking, not braking, like the Porsche.

Of course the R36 would smoke the p1. Nissan makes the best supercars. Period. Stock GTR is faster than boogady vayrawn. I heard the R36 can do 0-3000kph faster than a boogady can from 0-100kph. It's gonna come with a quad turbo I4 with VTEC to give it great fuel efficiency as well. Also I heard it will come with 6 wheels, 4 in the front to make it grip more. And have active fans that blow air up the asshole of the driver. The ATTESA will be renamed ANUS which stands for All-Nissan-Ultracentrifugation-Supercar. Best thing ever. And also I heard the Nismo version will come with active aero developed in partnership with NASA. cool shit bro.

If not, why don't they? As F1 drivers are the pinnacle of motorsports.
I think they usually pull drivers from their World Touring Car teams as those drivers are quite extensively familiar with the platform and are probably involved in the development as well.

I think there is also a handfull of elite 'ring test drivers they may hire from who are experts on that track.

F1 drivers are the best at driving F1 Cars

That doesn't make them the best drivers of every type of car in the world.

For example, when David Coulthard & Ralf Schumacher left F1 for DTM they didn't exactly tear shit up in DTM...

Juan Pablo Montoya isn't exactly killing NASCAR

Michael Schumacher didn't destroy MotoGP

Next you are going to casually drop that you don't know who Alcon is.

Akebono has been doing brakes for a LONGGG time, just because they don't brand their ass off like brembo, doesn't mean the brakes aren't amazing.

The factory g37s, 370z, FX50s, & M37/56 sport model brakes are all akebono 4 piston's with 14" rotors.

Wilwood seems like budget friendly brand...and Rotora seems like cheap eBay thing.

This car reminds me of Mistuoka Orochi in a weird way. They both look like some sort of creature.

Police unveils new McLaren patrol car which can do 0-60mph in 3 secs | Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2537256/Criminals-want-consider-upgrading-police-force-unveils-new-McLaren-patrol-car-0-60mph-THREE-SECONDS.html)


Criminals might have to think again about attempting a getaway after police revealed their newest and fastest police car - a 207mph McLaren worth £240,000.
The specially adapted two-seater supercar - which can hit 60mph in three seconds - will be unveiled at a car show in Birmingham this weekend.
Although it is not practical as an everyday patrol vehicle, officers from the Central Motorway Group in the Midlands hope it will help to break down barriers between police and motorists.
PC Angus Nairn - currently starring in the 'Motorway Cops' real-life TV shows - said: 'Everyone who see the McLaren wants to come and talk about it - it is an excellent way to get people to have a conversation with the police - and not end up with a fixed penalty ticket.
'The car breaks the ice and gives us the opportunity to get across the safety message - especially about the dangers of excess speed.
'The McLaren is a very powerful car with a top speed of more than 200 miles an hour but it wouldn't be very practical as an every day police vehicle - there's not a great deal of luggage space and it has gull-wing doors that opens outwards and upwards so you have to leave plenty of space when you park.'
The police-liveried car will be at the Autosports Show at the NEC in Birmingham this weekend before it goes back in the showroom.
The car was supplied by local McLaren dealers and sales director David Tibbett said: 'We are delighted to help the police and their work.
'The police-liveried McLaren has some extras on and would cost around £240,000.
'We have sold more than 100 Mclaren cars since 2011 and buyers have ranged from company bosses to footballers.'
The car - a Spider 12C model - is powered by a 3.8 litre twin turbo engine which develops almost 600 bhp - six times the power of a standard Fiord Fiesta.
But the makers claim it still returns 25 miles to the gallon - providing it's not driven flat out at its top speed of 207mph.
England hero David Beckham has just taken delivery of a similar model to use in the USA

they did a good job adding more power, but that GT Wing...

I think active wing was way cooler (is this even a word?)

Spotted a white one yesterday. My sister answered the phone, and had to hear out about 25 seconds of drooling before I could say Happy Birthday :p Bad timing.
