McLaren P1
Full-carbon McLaren P1 by MSO finished in bespoke ‘Lio Blue’ will leave you jaded
Remember when McLaren announced that P1 production has come to an end in December 2015? Turns out that they were lying, as their state-of-the-art Woking facility still hides a handful of P1s, all sporting bare, full carbon fibre bodywork. MSO (Mclaren Special Operations) went around working with one of those for a customer, and the results are just stunning. The carbon fibre bodywork is coated with a bespoke ‘Lio Blue’ tinted lacquer, while the wheels are finished in gloss black. The final bespoke element on Read More...
Final example of McLaren P1 rolls down the production line
A happy ending is what people wish for but this end is one that you wouldn’t look forward to. McLaren Automotive pulled down the curtains on the P1 after the final car rolled off the production line.

The Mclaren P1 stripped down- for a tail light change
It’s amazing how these sinister looking sportscars hide all the complex componentry under their sensuous body shells. Off late one such example came to light when one of the Mclaren P1 had a burnt out bulb in the tail light structure. While the replacement work on an average car might just need a few turns of a screw driver to disassemble the tail unit and replace the faulty light- it’s an eyeball popping process for the Mclaren P1. So when Read More...

McLaren P1 finally goes head-to-head with the Porsche 918 Spyder on video, Ferrari is still MIA
Remember the time Clarkson and co. almost came close to pitting LaFerrari, the McLaren P1, and the Porsche 918 Spyder together for the hybrid slugfest of the century? Porsche was the only one willing to agree to almost any terms and conditions set by the other two manufacturers, but they eventually came around too. But just before we could witness this moderately historic showdown take place, a cranky British presenter slugged a presenter over a plate of cold dinner, and Read More...
It’s settled! The Porsche 918 Spyder is faster than the McLaren P1 around a racetrack
We have been drooling over the prospects of getting the definitive answer for which of the three most desirable supercars in the world – the Porsche 918, McLaren P1 and LAFerrari is the fastest. Months after they told us they will settle the dispute, BBC still haven’t given us an answer. Top Gear writers have written about their driving experience on public roads, but we don’t really care much about that. And before one Stig could goad these beasts around Read More...
Video: McLaren P1 GTR can travel backwards in time
McLaren seems to have found a solution to the popular paradox, what happens if an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?
