McLaren has released the first interior pictures of the P1 GTR, its most powerful track-only model ever produced.
The lightweight carbon fibre MonoCage chassis is carried over from the road car, and weighs just 90kg including the upper and lower structures (including roof), roof snorkel, engine air intake cavity, battery and power electronics housing. This, in common with the road car, meets FIA load requirements for rollover in GT racing category.
Meanwhile, the driver-oriented cabin is stripped of all but the essential items in a bid to keep weight to a minimum. It features lightweight DTM-style seats with full six-point motorsport harnesses. The centre piece is the newly developed steering wheel, which has been designed to make all controls as easily accessible and user-friendly as possible. It's inspired by the steering wheel of the 2008 Formula 1 championship-winning MP4-23.
McLaren's team of engineers, technicians and development drivers has recently completed a successful test in the extreme desert heat at the Bahrain International Circuit.
