McLaren P1 Performance Figures

[dbk]

http://media.mclarenautomotive.com/release/228/

Highlights:

Acceleration:
0-100km/h (62 mph) - 2.8 seconds
0-200km/h (124 mph) - 6.8 seconds
0-300km/h (186 mph) - 16.5 seconds
Standing quarter mile (400m) - 9.8 seconds @ 245 km/h (152 mph)
V max - 350 km/h (217 mph) electronically limited

Braking:
100-0 km/h m (ft) [sec] - 30.2 (99) [2.9]
200-0 km/h m (ft) [sec] - 116 (380) [4.5]
300-0 km/h m (ft) [sec] - 246 (806) [6.2]

Fuel efficiency:
mpg (combined) - 34.0 mpg
litres/100km - 8.3 l/100km

Remember 10 years ago (5? 3? 1?) when people were saying that performance cars were certainly dead in the water? :rofl :willy

Stunning acceleration and braking. That 200-0 braking figure absolutely destroys the typical bad ass sports car. A Ferrari or Lambo with big brakes isn't even the same ballpark as that. The 300-0 isn't even worth discussing. 246 ft is flat out ABSURD.

First customer delivery:

Lucky man!

Fantastic car.... Too bad the $ takes to get one...

 

[Sinovac]

Too bad it looks like crap.

 

[dbk]

It's not my favorite car in the world, but I think crap may be a little strong. :lol

Honestly, I sort of like it except for the amphibious looking schnoz holes. Then again, cars always get better looking when you know what they are capable of.

Who is the (obviously very powerful and wealthy) first owner?

I think that's 806 ft (246 meters). Still absurd, and significantly shorter than everything else, but not quite Formula 1 absurd.

Fantastic technologic tour de force. Car does look better in black, but not "attractive"......

So, when are you getting one, Doc?

Okay, okay. It is only vaguely excrement-like in appearance.

Who is the (obviously very powerful and wealthy) first owner?

I believe he is a medical malpractice attorney.

:lol Can always count on Paul to cut to the heart of the matter. It certainly looks like crap in that color combo. 34 mpg? How does that happen? Standing on the brakes from 200 must do a heck of a lot of regeneration.

Definitely appears to hustle...

Supposedly a viewer timed them this morning at 6:47 at the Ring, and then others were saying 6:39. Should know tomorrow.

Between the P1, the 918 and the LalalalalaFerrari, these are just wild levels of performance. Amazing. What a time to be a car guy.

Totally agree. WOW that's looking fast, and it's looking better and better to me all the time (probably because it's so fast).

I just had this conversation with my son over breakfast after last weekend's Cars and Coffee. He was mildly amused when I told him how happy his mom and I were that our 1986 Mustang GT had 200 bhp. In 7 years, the 302 in the Fox body leapt to an astonishing 235 bhp in the 1993 Cobra. Now, my son and his friends think the 420+ bhp in his '13 GT is merely adequate.

this is the angle that killed it for me... i can't get over the similarity to an old firebird or trans am in the hood section .... :willy

Are you getting cheap in your old age?
