First Mclaren P1 customer car



  Titanium 182 FF
As with all cars of this nature full electric mode seems pretty pointless. According to an Evo article McLaren claim it can drive in full electric mode up to 100 mph for 12 miles.
 
I did at first think he might have been talking about a McLaren trio of the F1, MP4-12C and P1 :eek:
Anybody know who the guy is? I think it might be the family whose cars feature on Taxtherich100 YouTube channel.

Belongs to Paul Bailey.

Not massively overwhelmed by it to be honest. Most folk will just assume it's a mp4 with a different body kit, that's if they know what that is in the first place. Zondas and koeningseggs anyday for me. They just have more passion and character built in. Yeah they might not be as fast but bloody hell where on earth can u actually use that power

I went to the McLaren friends and family event a few months ago, they had a black car on display - incredible machine in the flesh.

If you could afford a P1 then you'd most likely already have a ton of other supercars.

I've seen one on the road and it is genuinely jaw dropping in real life, pretty surreal aswell when it pulled off from the petrol station in full electric mode, absolutely silent. I'll post up my videos/pictures when I'm on a computer.

Absolute beauty and look much smaller in real life. I saw That black rx13 driving on the m20 a few weeks back. Looks like a stealth bomber on the road!

Stunning car but what a co ck driving like that. Terrible coming off the rab onto the slipway by the Daewoo - quick way to loose your licence. Speed one thing dangerous manoeuvres like that totally another.

Haha Tim's videos make me laugh. Anyone see the abuse he got on his Facebook page for offering models of his own car (Purple R8 Spyder) for like £300 or something?

Anyway, that car is awesome. I can't talk about all I know but it was a pleasure to know about it from so early on (Being a car nerd and all).
