Autocar’s Sutcliffe gets Track Time in the Mighty McLaren P1

Steve Sutcliffe is one lucky guy, and we find ourselves repeating this over and over. Last month he got to put the outstanding Porsche 918 spyder hybrid supercar through its paces, and now he gets seat time in the mighty McLaren P1. So is the 903bhp McLaren P1 better than its German rival? In the video to follow we’ll learn just that, well at least his opinion anyway.

As Autocar notes, the McLaren P1 is the long awaited successor to the mighty McLaren F1 of 1994, and as such represents the pinnacle of achievement, both now and in the foreseeable future as far McLaren Automotive’s expanding range of road cars is concerned. For the time being it is, says McLaren, if not the fastest car in the world – that title almost certainly belongs to Ferrari’s even more potent, slightly lighter LaFerrari – then the most exciting hypercar to drive the world has ever seen.
