Vehicle Description
The first hybrid supercar was limited to a total worldwide
production of just 375 cars. Exclusive and desirable from the
start, the McLaren P1 sold out within months of orders opening.
McLaren managed to build a car with impressive stats, 903 bhp (727
bhp from the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, and 176 bhp from the electric
engine), 664 ft/lbs of torque, 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds, 217 mph top
speed, 1,322 pounds of downforce at 160 mph, with a curb weight of
just 3,075 pounds and a brake steering system taken straight from
Formula 1. On paper the numbers are staggering; on the road, this
car delivers everything they promised and more. It is a true
driver's car, built for both road and track. Originally destined
for the McLaren dealer in Dusseldorf, Germany, in Supernova Silver,
this dealer-owned McLaren P1 was subsequently acquired by ultra-VIP
McLaren client and world-famous supercar collector Mr. Sam Lee
(Instagram: @mwvmnw). Lee already had a very special McLaren P1 in
Europe and wanted an identical P1 for North America. He
commissioned MSO (McLaren Special Operations) in the U.K. to
prepare this P1, chassis 24 of 375, to meet U.S. EPA and DOT
requirements, and to refinish it in the McLaren Formula 1 racing
team color "Racing Chrome." Sold new by McLaren in November 2013,
records show this P1 was serviced at McLaren San Francisco on four
occasions under past ownership. At 2,334 actual miles the consignor
serviced the vehicle in August 2021 at McLaren Beverly Hills, who
performed a high-voltage battery check, replaced a high-voltage
circuit board, replaced the water pump, replaced the timing cover,
replaced the accumulators and installed four new tires. An invoice
from McLaren Beverly Hills totaling $44,685.83 is supplied by the
consignor. Factory options included a Meridian surround sound
system, racing seats in Slate Gray Alcantara, parking sensors,
ceramic brakes with red calipers, Stealth Package and lots of
exposed carbon fiber.
