McLaren Confirms Performance Figures For The McLaren P1
After an extensive testing and development programme, McLaren Automotive confirmed the performance figures for the McLaren P1 in the latest stage in its launch. The figures show that the third model in the range runs from 0 to 100km/h(62mph) in just 2.8 seconds, 200km/h(124 mph) in 6.8 seconds and 300km/h (186 mph) in 16.5 seconds. The McLaren P1 has been designed to the best driver's car on road and track. The figures confirm this and gives further insight into the potential of the latest model from the marque. The car is fitted with a twin powerplant powertrain generating 916 PS (903bhp) from the efficient 3.8 litre twin turbo V8 petrol engine and the lightweight electric motor.
The relentless acceleration which is delivered as a result of the instant torque offered by the electric motors and the optimized turbo, sees the McLaren P1 reach 300km/h in just 16.5 seconds. This is a full 5.5 seconds faster than the legendary McLaren F1. The top speed is electronically limited to 350km/h (217mph).
With these impressive figures, the McLaren P1 still returns 34.0mpg(8.3l/100km) on the EU combined cycle, with CO2 emissions of 194g/km. The electric motor offers a range of 11 km in full electric mode on the NEDC cycle which has the emissions drop to zero.
The braking figures are equally as impressive for the McLaren P1™, with the levels of performance provided by the bespoke Akebono system. The specially formulated carbon ceramic discs, coated in silicon carbide, can bring the McLaren P1™ to a halt from 62 mph (100 km/h) in a distance of just 30.2 meters. This figure is even more impressive when compared to the recognized stopping distances, which suggests that more than three times the distance – 102 meters – is required to bring a car to a halt from 100 km/h (62 mph).
