McLaren has revealed more details surrounding its track-only P1, which will be named the P1 GTR in homage to the legendary F1 GTR that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans two decades ago.
The limited-run model will enter production after the 375th example of the street-legal P1 has been completed, redesigned and developed as the “best drivers’ car in the world on track” without the limitations necessitated by road legislation.
“This will see even greater levels of performance, grip, aerodynamics and downforce than the road car,” the company boasts. “It will also feature technologies and a powertrain more extreme with an intended power output of 1,000PS (986 bhp), race-proven slick tyres, a widened track and more aggressive and distinctive styling designed to offer optimised performance around a lap.”
The company suggests it decided to make a track-only P1 in reaction to demand from P1 owners, some of which are willing to pay for an even higher-performing variant of the $1.15 million supercar.
The P1 GTR program will cost £1.98m (~$3.35 million USD) and includes a personalized training program, access to one of the McLaren racing simulators, and participation in at least six international drive events held at Formula 1 circuits.
The company has not yet confirmed a launch window for the P1 GTR, though it promises that production numbers will be strictly limited when the car does arrive on the market.
