The car accelerates to 100 km / h in just three seconds, to 200 km / h in 7, and to reach 300 km / h, you need to put pressure on the “gas” for only 17 seconds. Reliability and ease of steering is provided by the Instant Power Assist System (IPAS) that came from motorsport.
The symbol of the engineering triumph, coupled with concern for the environment, was the news of the McLaren P1 ™ hybrid drive. Traditionally for this brand, the eight-cylinder gasoline engine located in the central part of the car has a volume of 3.8 liters and is equipped with two turbines. It is also complemented by a high-performance electric motor. Thus, a hypercar will give its sophisticated owner not only the joy of "hyper speeds", but also an awareness of the contribution to the protection of the ozone layer.
An important component of McLaren P1 ™ success in terms of driving dynamics and safety has been the original P Zero Corsas tires, commissioned by partner Pirelli. Pirelli engineers tested at every stage of the creation of the hypercar. As a result, the McLaren P1 ™ was ideally suited to its running characteristics.
