SPOTTED: McLaren P1

KingOfJericho · 02-25-2014, 07:41 AM

I know they're not the best pics in the world but I was a little caught off guard on my drive in to work this morning when right in front of my eyes lay a McLaren P1 in the flesh. I should have more access later in the week for better pictures but here's what I have thus far:

Nice spy shots, such an awesome feat of engineering.

F1Venom · 02-25-2014, 07:59 AM

The best car ever made.

BMW269 · 02-25-2014, 08:28 AM

There is a Maserati Ghibli too.

That was the first thing I spotted but as I got closer I noticed this monster lurking in it's shadow.

BavarianN54 · 02-25-2014, 09:04 AM

Was it being delivered to a home, dealer.....?

KingOfJericho · 02-25-2014, 10:20 AM

Dealer.

Alpha///M · 02-25-2014, 10:37 AM

What dealer? This would be a good excuse for a roadtrip!

I spotted it at the dealer prep/service center for Miller Motorcars. The center is in Stamford but the dealer is in Greenwich.

One ugly car. One was next to me last week on the motorway and I thought it was an Infiniti.

It looks exactly like the new infinity.

My friend works at the dealership and sent me these. Enjoy:

Oh, Billy

Best looking I've seen...but I'm a white guy.

swanson · 02-25-2014, 02:41 PM

I hate white cars, but the P1 looks good in all the colors.

KingOfJericho · 02-25-2014, 03:10 PM

Yeah white is the last color I would pick for this car but whatever, I can't afford it anyway.

Jaypod · 02-25-2014, 03:13 PM

Looks like the car that has been doing the Autoshow and Dealership circuit (North American Spec). Guessing just for display and not a customer car. Thought I heard they were not available for another few months.

It is. It's a prototype car (she said XP1, which would make it the first prototype). Their first customer car is in production now and will likely arrive sometime in April.

BavarianN54 · 02-25-2014, 04:13 PM

If you guys havent checked out the Chris Harris utube of the P1 give it a watch.

KingOfJericho · 02-25-2014, 04:15 PM

That's a pretty active thread on here so I assumed most saw it. I also enjoyed Clarkson's review with his thick slathering of sarcasm and of course, the laps around Spa - my favorite track.

The Pisa Tower chirp was funny and strange coming from him.
With all the ricotta in his opinions most of the time, that is.
