Re: Mclaren F1 Reborn - the McLaren P1 Supercar thread
It has been a while since I was here and miss all you guys! Just curious, are you guys really considering tracking the P1 like the F1?
500 models! I think you're going to need a bigger boat (server!)! Anyway, love the P1. |

Re: Mclaren F1 Reborn - the McLaren P1 Supercar thread
I have considered it with the P1, but it would be an extra challenge and I already stay busy enough balancing life and the F1 pursuit.
I've had people send me 12C VINs of cars they have seen around the world and have been quick to tell them that I am not even going to attempt to keep up with them. >8^) ER |

Re: Mclaren F1 Reborn - the McLaren P1 Supercar thread
Like Erik says, it would be a full time job on top of a full time job on tracking the F1's on top of the normal full time jobs we do on top of being parents [in my case] so, if there were more hours in the day, and hands attached to my arms, I may contemplate it.

Re: Mclaren F1 Reborn - the McLaren P1 Supercar thread
Some shots of the inside - it'd be great to see it up close / clearer.
Sounds glorious too, bassy rumble that hopefully turns to high-pitched screamer when pushing through the gears

Re: Mclaren F1 Reborn - the McLaren P1 Supercar thread
Here is some clip which my friend showed.
Pure...V8 sound.... Better I'm now silent about this one, V12 would have been the right choise, because of F1 history.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4R_2...youtu.be&t=20s

Re: Mclaren F1 Reborn - the McLaren P1 Supercar thread
Ahhh... I love McLaren, they take Spielberg's "SHARK" theory to heart...
Any info on the brake technology? |

Re: Mclaren F1 Reborn - the McLaren P1 Supercar thread
Continuing the theme of my semi-charmed-kind-of-life, another amazing experience came my way at the Beverly Hills reveal of the P1 last night in that I was the only non-McLaren employee who was blessed with the opportunity to sit inside the P1. At some of the previous showings in more intimate settings quite a few have been allowed to at least have a look, but not many have gotten in so I was told. Last night they had planned to keep the door closed completely as there were just too many people to maintain control, but at one point Frank did open the car to share the interior with Jay Leno which resulted in what I'll describe as a bit of a kerfuffle.
At the end of the night I was waiting to say my goodbyes - the P1 had been pushed off its small stage and was even under the cover already when I was invited over to have a look, which then turned into "Go ahead and have a seat". Unbelievable and totally unexpected! It's amazing inside - just as cool as the outside with lots to take in and the real feeling that you're in something special. I think every surface inside is either satin finished carbon fiber or alcantara. Just beautiful! There is tons of glass - the visibility in most directions will be great. I was surprised to see the car does have a rear window - wasn't sure they'd preserve that with the roof scoop. It has a familiar feel to the 12C with wide outer sills and two seats centrally located, but no one could really confuse the two spaces. The P1 interior is all business and you'll know you are somewhere very special once inside. I certainly knew it! Before you ask - no photos of the interior were permitted at all, and I don't know how to draw either. It was an honor to be invited over the threshold (aka: door sill) and I can't wait until the veil of secrecy is lifted and official pictures get released. Here's a shot from last night - I'll have more later today: >8^) ER Last edited by Peloton25; 01-18-2013 at 03:26 PM. |

Me to the right of the car in Autoblog's photos.
We're all checking out renderings of P1s in various colors on Marcus Korbach's Special Operations iPad. >8^) ER |
