The 2014 McLaren P1 debuted with its hulking 3.8-liter V-8 and electric motor that produced a mighty 903 horsepower and approximately 1,100 pound-feet of twist. McLaren has already made it clear that there will be plenty of special-edition P1s, and in 2015 the first of these arrives in the form of a track-exclusive P1. In a nod to the McLaren F1 that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 1995, the track-prepped P1 carries the same GTR moniker.
Besides featuring a host of aerodynamic and technical improvements, which also translate in more horsepower and improved performance, the P1 GTR also marks the introduction of McLaren’s full customer racing program. Just like Ferrari and Lamborghini, the Brits are upping the ante toward organizing private racing events on famous Formula One tracks, but not before the buyers receive private consultations with McLaren’s racing division.
The supercar has just been unveiled as a production-ready concept car at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Read on to meet McLaren’s brand-new and utterly powerful race car.
Updated 01/16/2015: McLaren announced that the production version P1 GTR will be officially unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show in March. The announcement comes with a new video (above) showing the car’s latest stages from the development program. Enjoy!
