McLaren P1™

The McLaren P1™ is McLaren Automotive's first hybrid hypercar, the third model in the Ultimate Series, and the successor to the McLaren F1.
== Description ==
The McLaren P1 is the long-awaited successor to the McLaren F1 supercar. Unveiled as a concept car in 2012, the McLaren P1's production form, which unusually looks almost exactly the same as the concept form, was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The production version sports LTR ducts in front of each of the front wheels to optimize downforce. Unlike most other McLaren cars, the P1's name is officially stylized as McLaren P1™, with a trademark symbol.
The P1 uses a 3.8L (3,799 cc) twin-turbocharged V8 engine called M838TQ. The twin turbos boost the petrol engine at 1.4 bar (20.3 psi) to deliver at 7,500 rpm and at 4,000 rpm. The first hybrid hypercar, the P1 contains an in-house-developed McLaren ECU electric motor producing and , which gives the car a total output of and . The electric motor is manually deployable or can be left in automatic mode, whereby the car's electronic control units "torque fill" the gaps in the V8's output, which is considered turbo lag, giving the powertrain an effective powerband of almost 7,000 rpm. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a seven-speed McLaren SSG dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Power for the electric motor is stored in a 324-cell lithium-ion high-density battery pack located behind the passenger cabin, developed by Johnson Matthey Battery Systems. Charging the battery is possible through the engine or plug-in equipment and can finish in up to two hours. The P1 can operate under the petrol engine, electric motor, or hybrid mode (both petrol engine and electric motor activated at once).
The car has a dry weight of and a curb weight of , putting the average weight as . The resulting power-to-weight ratio is a minimum of 584 hp per tonne (3.41 lb/1.54 kg per hp) and a maximum of 647 hp per tonne (3.78 lb/1.54 kg per hp).
The P1 uses Formula One-derived features like Instant Power Assist System (IPAS), which gives an instant acceleration boost via the electric motor, a Drag Reduction System (DRS), which operates the car's rear wing, and a KERS. Both IPAS and DRS have their dedicated switches on the steering wheel. The car generates of downforce at 160 mph (257 km/h) and has a drag coefficient of only 0.34.
The P1 accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 2.6 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 6.8 seconds, 186 mph (300 km/h) in 16.5 seconds, and 200 mph (322 km/h) in 23 seconds, making it a full 5.5 seconds faster than the McLaren F1. The P1 has an absolute delimited top speed of at least 245 mph (394 km/h). Tires are bespoke Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires and brakes are specially developed carbon ceramic brakes from Akebono.
In 2015, a track-tuned version, the McLaren P1™ GTR, was released. The following year, the McLaren P1™ GTR received a 5-unit, street-legal version, named the McLaren P1™ LM.

The McLaren P1™ appears as a mid (now low) Class A car with the following rank statistics:
*Stock rank: 2,446 ()

Players who logged in for a limited time from March 20, 2020, were given for the McLaren P1™—enough to unlock the car—as part of a special gift "in this trying time" that also included for the Dodge Viper ACR and for the Ferrari F12tdf.
=== Performance ===
The McLaren P1™ features decent acceleration, high top speed and average nitro duration for Class A. Its main weakness is its poor handling. It shares similar stats to the Lamborghini Aventador SV Coupé, but with worse handling, top speed, nitro efficiency and better acceleration. Compared to the Ferrari LaFerrari it has exactly same top speed but better nitro duration and efficiency. 
=== Usage ===
The McLaren P1™ is a good choice for multiplayer, although less skilled players may find the Aventador SV Coupé and LaFerrari to be easier to drive, due to their better nitro efficiency. The P1 can also compete against other Class A cars like the Ferrari 812 Superfast and some slower high Class A cars such as the Vanda Electrics Dendrobium on speed-oriented tracks.
The McLaren P1™ is one of the sponsored cars in 1 vs. 1 Tournament, where it is generally considered to be the second-best car, behind the Ferrari LaFerrari, due to its high acceleration and top speed. The unboosted P1 is typically preferred over the nitro-boosted version as the former has noticeably better top speed and accceleration, as well as slightly better handling.

===Summary===
The McLaren P1 was added in The Great Wall Update as a mid Class A car with the following statistics:
*Starting rank: 1470
*MAX rank: 1611 (+141)
*MAX+PRO rank: 1698 (+87)
**This was changed to 1770 in the Tenth Anniversary Update
*Tuning Kit bonus: +33
**This was changed to +53 in the Tenth Anniversary Update
*Nitro Efficiency: 5/10/15
Between the Fifteenth Anniversary Update and the 2023 Summer Update, the P1 was a high Class B car.
As of the Tenth Anniversary Update, the P1 is now a high Class A car.
===Performance===
The McLaren P1's performance is based on that of the McLaren 12C Spider: decent acceleration, high top speed, sharp and responsive handling, and high nitro efficiency.
The P1 has a very high top speed stat given its rank, topping out at 246.9 mph (397.5 km/h) at MAX+PRO with a Tuning Kit. The P1 has a maximum total speed of 281.9 mph (454.0 km/h).
The P1 has the ability to clear corners effectively thanks to having responsive handling and sharp drifting. Sometimes, the handling can become stiff, especially at MAX+PRO, although this can be rectified with practice and skill.
Prior to the 2021 Lunar New Year Update, the McLaren P1 could achieve faster lap times than the Ferrari LaFerrari, which only had the edge in acceleration and handling. The Falcon F7 and McLaren MP4/8 were also capable of better performance at lower ranks, especially with the latter's extreme acceleration and handling.
===Usage===
==== v1.6 - v4.1 ====
The McLaren P1 was generally considered one of the best go-to cars in Class A prior to the Fast Lane Update due to having a high performance-to-price ratio. The P1 has multiple strengths, including having a Credits-farming-suitable track in Season 9: Beyond where the player can make in less than 58 seconds of racing, low price compared to similarly-ranked Class A cars, and dominating several Class A Events. This was the go-to car until the player can get higher-ranked cars like the McLaren 675LT and/or McLaren Mercedes MP4-25.
In Multiplayer, while the P1 has excellent all-around performance, it is actually very risky to use the car at MAX+PRO, as more often than not, especially as of the Multiplayer League Update, there is a high chance of being pitted against cars ranked at least 100 rank points higher or lower. In terms of Multiplayer-friendly upgrade configurations, the Ferrari LaFerrari has the advantage (even if slight), although it is not recommended due to the Lotus Evora Sport 410, Aston Martin Vulcan, and Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport being capable of having a much higher total speed at a similar or lower rank.
==== v5.0 onwards ====
Due to it never receiving a buff, the McLaren P1 has since been outclassed by the Ferrari LaFerrari - a car it outclassed prior to the latter's buff to the 1680 rank. As the P1's 1674 rank places it in the to rank bracket, it will be matched up with the LaFerrari and other B1678-B1682 cars that it cannot compete with.
===Price===
As of the Fifteenth Anniversary Update, the McLaren P1 costs to purchase.
The P1 had a price of to purchase, replacing the purchase option in the Fast Lane Update which replaced the purchase option on March 31, 2018.
