To be honest the performance numbers so far quoted don't really interest me. Its the fact that McLaren stated from the outset that the P1 will be the fastest street car around any track, its those numbers that will really define the performance envelop of the P1 and set it apart.

So roll on the track tests, would anyone care to guess a Ring time and a Top Gear track time?

I've seen The Artists mention of a weight of 1400 kgs. Is this confirmed by anyone? And is it dry or wet weight?

In McLaren's words "Power to weight ratio will be more than 600PS per tonne".

So if we take the 916 PS the weight should be around 1525 kg...
If we take the 737 PS alone the weight should be around 1230 kg...

Apparently no official data.

Unconfirmed reports suggest 1400kg, over 20 per cent higher than the F1’s 1137kg - [Evo]

The P1’s kerb weight is admirably low for a modern supercar, at 1400kg, (Porsche’s 918 Spider is more like 1700kg) but even it can’t match the F1, which weighed just 1140kg at the kerb. [Autocar]

Top gear mentioned weighing about 1500kg.

I think the 1,400 kg figure is dry weight, so curb weight will be higher and 1,500 kg seems reasonable.

Exactly. The Venom GT and Agera R kill the P1 in terms of straight line speed, but I can't wait to see the lap times and skidpad results from the P1 tests.

I'm guessing at least 2 seconds faster than the Huayra around Top Gear's track.

Why so many threads on the P1 saying the samething?

Viiiiktor is an unknown quantity at this point
200kg battery pack? Not too difficult is it? I understand that a lot of HP and Nm plus, but the point of braking, cornering matter much, which is a sports car would be theoretically important, is not it?

I think you could be right on the TG time. I have heard rumours that it could be as fast as the Zonda R
