The McLaren P1 street car was no slouch and no one said that the
car needed more power or performance. But sometimes it's that
cumulative silence that drives innovation and creates the need to
be one step ahead of people's expectations. McLaren took ahold of
those reins and then some with this: the 2016 McLaren P1 GTR. The
most hardcore, race-oriented and limited-edition McLaren P1 ever
created.
The McLaren P1 GTR was originally released as a special track-only
version of McLaren's P1 street car, available and offered to only
to McLaren P1 owners once the last of the 375 street P1s were
completed. However, due to the similarities to the road car, there
have been a number of cars made to allow the P1 GTR to become
road-legal. The GTR was given revised engine mapping for a power
boost, a fixed and larger hydraulically-actuated wing that was
capable of immense downforce, special aerodynamic improvements
including a larger front splitter and carbon fiber underside which
is good for 10% more downforce. Together these touches produce a
whole new package, creating this ultimate hardcore P1. A wider
track of 3.2 inches vs. the normal P1 ensures space for wider front
and rear tires for ample grip. 110 pounds are stripped from the
already-lightweight body by removing various components including
sound deadening materials and replacing the car's glass with
polycarbonate. The results are a staggering set of numbers: A
combined output of 986 horsepower, 0-60 miles per hour in just 2.4
seconds and will reach a top speed of 225 miles an hour, all while
being able to brake from 60 miles an hour to 0 in 85 feet while
cornering at 1.54Gs.
With no regulations to limit them, the engineers at McLaren were
let loose to turn everything to 11 with every intent of maxing
performance out of every possible system. The mid-mounted
twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine paired with its high-performance
electric motor generate a mind-boggling 986hp. With this
performance an F1 ERS-style push-to-pass system has been designed
for the GTR, allowing you to have sudden bursts of extra power to
get past that nagging driver at your track day. This sudden boost
is good for a total of 1,045 horsepower for short bursts. The large
fixed wing features a F1-derived Drag Reduction System for straight
line speed, and the exterior wing mirrors have been repositioned to
the A pillars to move them closer to the eye of the driver and
reduce aerodynamic drag. Included inside every GTR is a permanent
video recording system, able to monitor the driver's actions while
overlaying data upon export to review after their sessions.
The GTR benefits from other improvements that were not included on
the street car. The entire car has been lowered, but retains its
front axle nose lift for loading and going over bumps you might
encounter. 19-inch motorsport center locking wheels ensure quick
and secure wheel changes with the onboard jacking system, borrowed
from McLaren's 650S GT3 racer. Below the massive wing sits a
bespoke titanium and Inconel alloy exhaust system. Per McLaren, the
exhaust maximizes the visceral sound from the 3.8-liter V8 engine
while reducing backpressure to increase performance.
This McLaren P1 GTR was ordered new for a U.S. owner to join his
vehicle collection. Evident by the mileage on the odometer and the
cosmetic condition of the entire car, the GTR was hardly used. The
owner also spec'd the car with the factory track package, which
includes the equipment required for a track day. Items include twin
nitrogen bottles to power the two center-lock air guns, one
nitrogen bottle to power the car's in-board lift system, Vlog
equipment for video recording from the on-board cameras, a Bowser
race fuel system for refueling, a computer tablet used to access
the car's computer to view telemetry and codes, spare set of track
tires, aluminum solid mounts to elevate the car without relying on
nitrogen, torque wrench with a spare socket, and P1 GTR car cover.
In as-new condition, this is an opportunity to buy a P1 GTR that is
essentially fresh from the factory and ready for its next owner to
track and/or convert for road use. Now available for purchase
worldwide, the ultimate version of the legendary McLaren P1, the
McLaren P1 GTR.
