McLaren P1 with 409 km at auction

The term hypercar was born a few years ago when, within a few months of each other, the Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1 arrived on the market; all three cars are powered by a hybrid engine that makes them particularly performing, and also for this reason they are models much desired by collectors. It will be collectors with very deep pockets who will fight at the auction during which the model number 348 of 375 of the McLaren P1 of 2015, which appeared on the Bring a Trailer website, will be auctioned.



This beautiful P1 is characterized by an intense yellow color, not for nothing called 'Volcano Yellow', embellished with many details and carbon fiber panels; the fiber also runs under the entire floor of the car, so as to make it even more aerodynamic. The car is in practically perfect condition, which comes as no surprise considering that it has hardly ever been used: the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 has only covered 490 km since it left the factory. The engine, as anticipated at the opening, is supported by a hybrid system consisting of an electric motor connected to the rear wheels capable of delivering 177 horsepower, which are added to those of the thermal engine for a total of 903 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque. . The lithium-ion battery present is 4.7 kWh and allows you to move in purely electric mode for just over 10 km. Inside we find black Alcantara upholstery.| ); }
