McLaren P1 (2015)

Having returned to road car production with the McLaren MP4-12C kick-starting the McLaren Super Series, it was immediately looked upon to create the "new F1", a car that would once again fix the McLaren brand at the forefront of automotive performance.

Using a carbon fibre monocoque chassis and all carbon body panels, in combination with a twin-turbo V8 producing 727 brake horsepower and 720 Nm of torque, it was no slouch, however, McLarens pursuit for performance did not finish there. The creative power of McLaren added a hybrid electric motor serving to "torque fill" any gaps in peak performance of the petrol engine, allowing the driver with maximum power at all times. The electric motor produces 176 horsepower, and when combined with the twin-turbo petrol engine, maximum output is a remarkable 903 horsepower.

The astounding performance figures help accelerate the P1 from 0-60 mph in just 2.8 seconds, 0-120 in 6.8 seconds, 0-180 mph in 16.5 seconds (a whole 5 seconds faster than the F1) and ultimately reaching an electronically limited top speed of 217 mph.
