McLaren recently produced and sold the first of a 375-unit P1 hypersport series . On this occasion, the British automaker decided to publish the dynamics of its best model.
To begin with, it should be recalled that under the hood there is a twin-turbocharged 3.8 eight-cylinder engine with a capacity of 737 hp in cooperation with an electric motor from McLaren Electronics , which has a power of 179 hp. The total output of these two units is 916 hp and together they can develop a maximum torque of 900 Nm. A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission takes care of power transmission to the rear wheels.
These parameters allow McLaren to accelerate to 100 km/h in 2.8 s, to 200 km/h in 6.8 s and to 300 km/h in 16.5 s . The maximum speed of the model is 350 km/h. If anyone is interested in consumption, the official figures speak of 8.3 l/100 km and 194 g CO2/km. Even a small child probably knows that these values will be unrealistic…
In addition to acceleration, the British automaker also published information on deceleration . From 100 km/h the P1 comes to a stop in 2.9 s and needs 30.2 m to do so, twice the speed means an 85.8 m longer braking distance and 1.6 s longer. A top speed of 300 km/h means it will take need 246 m and 6.2 s.
Unofficial reports say that the McLaren P1 lapped the famous Nordschleife at the Nürburgring in 6 minutes and 47 seconds. This would mean that the automaker managed to beat the Radical SR8 LM by more than a second to become the fastest car ever to drive around the famous circuit. However, we have to wait for an officially confirmed time to start the fanfare.
