The McLaren P1™: By Those Who Created It

The definitive guide to the McLaren P1â„¢,
celebrating the launch of the McLaren P1â„¢ GTR
and detailing the high-tech aerodynamics and
exquisite engineering McLaren has used to
design and produce this dream car. The McLaren name is synonymous with high-performance
supercars. The McLaren F1, launched in 1992, was considered the
pinnacle of supercar production, and McLaren has now raised
the bar yet again with the introduction of the groundbreaking
McLaren P1â„¢. Testament to the car's engineering excellence
derived from 50 years of motorsport success, production of the
McLaren P1â„¢, limited to just 375 cars, was sold out in only three
months, with each costing $1.15 Million. A track-only version,
the McLaren P1â„¢ GTR, was unveiled in 2014 and offered only
to owners of the McLaren P1â„¢. Ownership of the most extreme
model ever produced by McLaren includes membership of the
exclusive McLaren P1â„¢ GTR Driver Programme. In this fascinating
story of innovation and achievement, Andrew Frankel takes
readers inside the McLaren Technology Centre to reveal how
the company designed a hybrid racing machine that achieved
unheard of efficiency on both the road and track. Frankel, who
has been granted unprecedented access to the team behind the
car, brings to life each step of its development, from engineering
and testing to marketing, selling, and the customization of
limited editions by the McLaren Special Operations team.
Lavishly illustrated and engagingly written, this book reveals the
inside story of the greatest supercar ever built.
