Twenty years on from victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans by the legendary F1 GTR, McLaren will resurrect the iconic name from its history for the track-only edition of the P1.
The limited-run model will go into production when the final 375th road-going P1 has been completed, and in homage to its race-winning ancestor, the most powerful McLaren to date will be named the P1 GTR.
With no need to comply with road legislation, the P1 GTR will be designed and developed as the best drivers’ car in the world on track. It will feature a powertrain more extreme with an intended power output of 986 hp, race-proven slick tires, a widened track and more aggressive and distinctive styling designed to offer optimised performance around a lap.
The decision to produce a track-only variant is in response to demand to McLaren P1 owners. The P1 GTR will be priced at £1.98 million and all owners will benefit from a tailored program created for each customer to build driver capability. It will include exclusive consultations the company's driver fitness team and Design Director Frank Stephenson, privileged access to one of the McLaren racing simulators, and participation in a minimum of six dedicated international drive events to be held at some of the world’s most iconic Formula 1 circuits.
Exact production numbers are still to be determined, but McLaren mentions production will be strictly limited.
