Ahead of the start of production later this year, the track-only McLaren P1 GTR will make its global debut in production form at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show in March.
McLaren says through significant weight-saving measures and track-optimisation of the petrol-electric powertrain, the P1 GTR will boast a power-to-weight ratio increase in excess of 10 percent over the road-going model, to more than 700 PS per tonne.
This has been achieved using motorsport-derived technology and expertise, with the track-only model completing thousands of kilometres of extreme testing at several UK and European locations, as well as a demanding testing schedule in the extreme heats of Bahrain and Qatar, with Chief Test Driver Chris Goodwin at the wheel.
These tests have pushed the performance of the car to its limits, and have been designed to further enhance cooling and aerodynamics over the design concept previewed at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in the summer of 2014.
