From McLaren:
'It's as though we stuck a tube inside and sucked all the air out -
a dramatic, honest shape, but also a very beautiful one'
McLaren Design Director, Frank Stephenson explains some of the
inspiration for the functional yet beautiful design of the McLaren
P1.
'The engineering priority was always unmatched aerodynamic
performance. My role as a designer was to make it look dramatic and
beautiful. I wanted it to look like a purposeful racer with that
low body, long rear deck and open-mesh rear styling to put the
mechanicals on view and help cooling. Plus there's the most
aggressive rear diffuser ever seen on a road car. Like everything
on the McLaren P1, it's there for a good reason.
'I wanted to take out as much visual weight as possible, to have a
car that was really lean; a car with absolutely no fat between the
mechanicals and the skin. It was all part of the engineering and
design approach to fanatically take out weight.
'Visibility is vital for a car like this, which is why we've pushed
to giving it more of a canopy, to have glass all around you - it's
like a cockpit and that's deliberate.'
