McLaren P1: Contemporary Legends

 

Like its predecessor the McLaren F1, McLaren supercar rated P1 will become legendary in the world of contemporary vehicles.
This is an image of P1 McLaren supercar, the car will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2013 began opening next week, and then will be at McLaren showrooms around the world later this year.McLaren P1: Contemporary Legends 1
 The production version of the McLaren P1 is almost identical to the concept car is its supercar debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 2012, only a few small details in the design of the car is changed while keeping all technology advanced from the Formula 1 cars.
According to official information has been McLaren announced the only 375 McLaren supercar P1 is built, turn this car into one of the world's most exclusive and rare cars.
This figure is more than three times more than his predecessor the legendary McLaren F1 ever produced, and this day you will be very hard to see a McLaren F1, unless you live in London, Monaco and Dubai.
McLaren basic price P1 is £ 866,000 - the equivalent of U.S. $ 1.31 million, in Europe, McLaren P1 basic cost 1 million euros, while the base price of this car in the U.S. is from $ 1.15 million. This is a not cheap price. However, according to unofficial information posted earlier, all of McLaren P1 headed.McLaren P1: Contemporary Legends 2
 The famous supercar maker also said, at price, McLaren P1 will have the most modern and advanced equipment, McLaren also prepared the options so customers can personalize your car her. However, you will have to prepare a lot of money to be able to supplement the option for McLaren P1.
Maximum speed is limited at 350 km / h
In terms of performance and speed, McLaren P1 can accelerate from 0-100 km / h in less than 3.0 seconds, 4.0 seconds for this car can reach speeds of 200 km / h and 17 seconds to accelerate from 0-300 km / h. McLaren P1 accelerates from 0-300 km / h faster than 5 seconds compared to the legendary McLaren F1 predecessor. The maximum speed of this car is limited to 350 km / h. Maximum speed of the McLaren P1 far below the record speed of 386 km / h which legendary McLaren F1 each set.McLaren P1: Contemporary Legends 3
 Speed, McLaren P1 can not compare with the Bugatti Veyron SuperSport Koenigsegg Agera R the world's fastest car today. But that is not the target which McLaren P1 towards, McLaren goals P1 to become the fastest car on the track as well as on the street.
As previously announced, McLaren P1 will be equipped with a hybrid system, with a supercharged V8 engine and an electric motor. Motor system offers the possibility to react best with each impact from the accelerator, and brings great driving feel, with better fuel efficiency thanks to several different modes of operation. McLaren P1 electric motor can operate independent, independent gasoline engine, and a combination of the two engines.
Hybrid propulsion systems McLaren P1 has a maximum capacity of 916 hp, maximum torque 900 Nm. Electric motors are attached directly to the gasoline engine, and tons of power is transmitted through dual-clutch seven-speed gearbox to the rear wheels.McLaren P1: Contemporary Legends 4
 In particular, the gasoline engine block on McLaren P1 is M838T V8 Twin-turbocharged 3.8 liter built by Ricardo and is currently equipped on the MP4-12C. However, the maximum power up to 737 hp at 7,500 rpm / min, maximum torque 720 Nm at 4000 r / min. Electric motors in McLaren P1 born a maximum capacity of 179 hp, maximum torque 260 Nm.
The-art technology
McLaren said the strengthening of the electric motor system allows the engine on P1 there are many more features to help supercharged engine on this car stable operation. In addition, the motor system will also help to some faster cars. This is achieved by taking advantage of instant torque can be made for reducing engine rpm quickly and bring them to the most effective way to achieve the necessary speed motor for the shift.McLaren P1: Contemporary Legends 5
 Available power from the hybrid system on McLaren P1 is further enhanced through the DRS technology - drag reduction system, and IPAS - The system supports instant power, be controlled via buttons on the steering wheel, the system is equipped on the vehicle's Formula 1 McLaren supercar help P1 reduce drag.
Acceleration of McLaren P1 is increased by reducing the resistance plus the support from the rear wing similar to the Formula 1 race car McLaren MP4-28, which helps reduce drag by 23%. The system can be turned off via the button on the steering wheel, or when the driver brake pedal.

 Brake Systems on McLaren P1 is developed by Akebono, specializing in the development of braking systems for McLaren's Formula 1 cars. This brake system including a new carbon-ceramic brake discs were first used on a car commercial. Not only help curb the machine speed, the new braking system also helps the car get higher fuel efficiency, the cooling capacity of the brake system is also better.
Combined with this brake system is the super sticky Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires. The team at the Pirelli tires have been involved throughout the process of developing the car, and also share the experience gained from the production of Formula 1 tires.
Manufactured entirely from carbon fiber
The entire chassis and McLaren supercar P1 body is built from carbon fiber. The car is built according to the structure McLaren called MonoCage, the McLaren P1 cabin is built from carbon fiber monolithic form a safety cage for the people sitting in the car. Structure MonoCage on McLaren P1 unlike MonoCell structure on the MP4-12C, this structure helps the airflow into the engine through the inlet cavity on the side of the car and on the roof of the car more, the increased cooling capacity and the brake pads.McLaren P1: Contemporary Legends 7
 McLaren P1 offers the perfect aerodynamic design, the drag coefficient on this car is only 0.34, even though the car was born pressures down the road to 600 kg when the vehicle runs at a speed of 320 km / h . The aerodynamic design of the McLaren P1 may be partly due to large rear wing, this wing can open up to 30 cm to bring the highest aerodynamic efficiency.
Carbon fiber can be easily seen inside the cabin of the McLaren P1, complete digital instrument cluster inspired by racing cars as well as accents within the cabin McLaren P1. This screen has several different operating modes, including Race mode, with the green lights, followed by red and blue. The lights in the display like on a Formula 1 McLaren.
McLaren P1 only two-seat design, different design with three slots on the legendary McLaren F1 supercar. Lithium-ion battery system weighs 90 kg of McLaren P1 is placed between the cabin and the engine compartment of this car.
The only change between the concept and production versions
Style, after when McLaren P1 is launched at the Paris Motor Show 2012, this car was taken around the world to make his debut with the potential customers, and most of the potential customers do not want to change the design of P1.
So, a strange but logical style of McLaren P1 little change as compared with the concept. In fact, only a change in the inlet cavity cooling the front brakes, which improves cooling capacity and optimized aerodynamics for this car.McLaren P1: Contemporary Legends 8
