McLaren P1 GTR heading for production
Following last year's concept, McLaren has revealed the finalised version of its ultra-extreme – and ultra-exclusive – P1 GTR.
The transformation from road-going P1 to track-only P1 GTR has involved many modifications. For starters, the GTR's 3.8 litre V8 twin-turbo engine and electric motor produce a combined 986 bhp (735 kW / 1,000 PS) instead of the usual 903 bhp (673 kW / 916 PS).

To complement that extra output, weight is down by around 50 kg (110 lbs) thanks partly to the adoption of an Inconel and titanium alloy exhaust, polycarbonate side windows and carbon fibre roof panels. Among the chassis enhancements are wider tracks, a lowered ride height and a set of centre-locking 19” alloy wheels with slick tyres.
The aerodynamics have received plenty of attention, too. As well as a larger front splitter and side-mounted blades, there's a substantial non-retractable rear wing that still incorporates a drag reduction system.
Anybody wanting to buy a GTR will have to have almost £2 million to spend and already own a regular P1. Included in the package is a choice of liveries and membership of the P1 GTR Driver Programme, which offers customer profiling sessions at the McLaren Technology Centre plus circuit driving events.
