McLaren P1: 0-300 km/h in under 17 seconds!

By ,

McLaren Automotive has announced the final performance numbers for its P1 supercar ahead of a global premiere at the Geneva Motor Show next week.

Using a 903-horsepower engine , the McLaren P1 will sprint from 0-100km/h in less than 3.0 seconds, 0-200km/h in under 7.0 seconds, and 0-300 km/h in no more than 17 seconds! That's a whopping 11 seconds faster than the legendary McLaren F1 road car.

Top speed is electronically limited to 350 km/h.

The production McLaren P1 is virtually identical to the prototype shown at the Paris Auto Show last fall. Low-temperature radiator (LTR) ducts have been added ahead of the front wheels to further aid cooling and optimize downforce. Moreover, there's a new type of carbon ceramic discs that's never been used on a road car before.

Production of the McLaren P1 will be limited to 375 units. The model will go on sale in the U.S. at a base price of $1,150,000. McLaren calls it “race-ready,” and the options list is limited to bespoke content that a customer might wish to add through McLaren Special Operations.
