McLaren have announced that the development programme for their most powerful and exclusive model to-date – the P1 GTR – has been stepped up over the winter months.
The track-only model will make its global debut in production form at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show in March.
As testing on the car continues, the McLaren P1 GTR looks set to be one of the fastest to ever wear the famous McLaren ‘speed mark’. 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. 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.
