After unveiling the P1 Concept at the 2012 Paris Auto Show, McLaren presented the production version at a private event in New York City. According to McLaren the model displayed in New York is "97% of the car that you will be able to order. The only thing that we will add are some vents to the bumper to get some of the warm air from the radiator coming out from the side".
The mesh grille will also be replaced by a tighter one, and the front bumper and rear grille will also be slightly updated.
McLaren said nothing about the car’s powertrain, but it has been rumored we will see a 5.0-liter V8 engine with an output of about 800 HP mated to a Graziano seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The model will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds, from 0 to 100 mph in 5.5 seconds, and 0-200 mph in just 20 seconds. However, such impressive performance numbers won’t come cheap: it is believed the P1 will be priced at about $1 million.
