| What was once the world's fastest road car has gained a spiritual successor in the McLaren P1.
But don't expect to see the near-$2 million supercar on Australian roads.
Twenty years after McLaren first entered the supercar ranks with the mighty 461kW 6.1-litre V12-powered F1, the British Formula One team has revealed the P1.
To be officially unveiled at the 2012 Paris motor show, the flamboyant new P1, as the new range topping McLaren supercar is currently known, is planned to crown the British car maker’s line-up when it is launched in 2013, joining the MP4-12C and MP4-12C Roadster in a three strong line-up of road cars aimed at netting McLaren up to 4000 sales worldwide by the middle of the decade.

McLaren, which aims to challenge the likes of Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche as a maker of the world’s most sought after supercars on the back of an illustrious history in Formula One racing, says the P1 has but one goal: “To be the best driver’s car in the world on road and track”. |
