Auto Eroticism: McLaren P1


The boys and girls from Woking are at it again. From Motoramic:
Known as McLaren designer Frank Stephenson's first clean-sheet design for McLaren after the MP4-12C, the P1 is expected to combine the 3.8-liter V8 from the MP4-12C with some kind of hybrid system that could approach 1,000 hp total. In a statement, McLaren managing director Antony Sherriff says the P1 will be "the most exciting, most capable, most technologically advanced and most dynamically accomplished supercar ever made -- not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit."
The early pictures are definitely enticing (the profile evokes memories of the McLaren F1), and thus far the MP4-12C has proven itself to be one of the best ultra-luxury sports cars on the market. McLaren seems determined to give folks with seven-digit bank accounts and a taste for six-digit cars something to think about next year.
