Mclaren F1 Reborn - the McLaren P1 Supercar thread

Can someone say, definitively, are the various P1 engine/system noises 'enhanced' in any way - e.g. by playing additional noise through the hi-fi speakers?

I quite liked the noises it makes (contrary to my expectations), though perhaps there are too many different noises to take in initially.
I am though very much against artificially generated noises and to be honest it sounded a little too contrived, though perhaps they are not.

No phony speaker-produced noises like the F10 BMW M5 occur in any McLarens.

The later 12Cs, 650S' and P1 have something called an Intake Sound Generator that can be adjusted between three levels to control the amount of engine noise that enters the cabin, but it is nothing artificial. The control settings for this are in one of the on-screen menus - not affected by the Handling and Powertrain knobs on the Active Dynamics Panel.

OK, thanks for that. However - I don't remember seeing the sound/noise setting in any of the menus, and I have the manual here and it is not mentioned at all that I can see. Are you SURE that applies to the P1?

I have a vague recollection that one of the McLaren guys said that the intake thing was in place but preset and not adjustable, but maybe could be blocked off if required.

Personally I dislike the notion of a 'sound generator' - whether through the speakers, or not.

650S ISG is configurable via the cluster menu. When you switch from N to S to T on Powertrain using the active panel the sound is then set to that configuration. IIRC you can set it to 0 in all modes.

The P1 has ESG which is not configurable, I have just had a quick look through the menu on a car and the manual and cannot see anything about the ISG so I am not sure if it is fitted but not configurable or just not fitted! I shall ask the guys in powertrain!

One of the early P1 press releases said this:

"A new device, harnessing the raw exhaust note from the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine, together with an evolution of the ISG (Intake Sound Generator), and the sounds of the pressure charging system, is clearly audible within the cabin to further optimise the drama of the McLaren P1™. The visceral, exciting engine soundtrack creates an aural experience that instantly matches throttle inputs."

From here: http://media.mclarenautomotive.com/model/7/EN/doc/49/

A lot of the reporting simplified the story to something like this:

"To maximise the feeling and emotion for the driver, McLaren have included their ISG (Intake Sound Generator), carried over from the 12C Spider. This amplifies the sound inside the cockpit when appropriate."

From here: http://www.gtspirit.com/2014/01/20/exclusive-mclaren-p1-review/

Sorry for the bad intel, but Mr M.S.O will surely sort it out. :thumbsup:

Neither the ISG or ESG are adjustable by the owner, but both are fitted. :)

Can you say how those sound generators work? Do they take real sounds from the car and pipe them into the cabin, if so, how - mechanically, electronically or what? The more gory detail, the better. Thanks.

I was told this was a car from the factory brought over for the show. Not a customer car. Reason it wasn't on display in 'Race Mode' was that certain modes had been disabled...

Regardless, amazing car in person and certainly can't wait to see one again!! The detail and thought put into it is just incredible.

That would explain why it wasn't in race mode, but who knows. There seemed to be a few staff there who didn't really know anything...

Yes, it is an amazing car. Still no F1 though!

Sorry - my German is very limited - are you saying that having had the cars at Hockenheim they have not included any lap times in the article? Does it give any reason for that?
(other than the assumption that one or more of the manufacturers banned them from doing so)
