At the forefront of McLaren’s innovative approach is the McLaren P1, the manufacturer’s first hybrid-assisted supercar. The McLaren P1 was built with the strict intention to compete alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and Porsche 918 Spyder, thus creating the ‘Holy Trinity.’ As the successor to the legendary McLaren F1, the P1 adopted similar characteristics that would ultimately shape it into one of the most collectible supercars of all time.
McLaren saw so much success in the limited-production release that they even engineered the non-road-legal P1 GTR for the ultimate collectors. Taking a deep dive into the supercar’s production and statistics, these are five facts that make the McLaren P1 an iconic supercar.
