The McLaren P1 by numbers
375 Total number of cars to be built to maintain exclusivity, although a racing model has been considered during the car’s design and engineering
300 per cent difference in suspension stiffness from normal to race modes
1 The only option for the £866k car is an extra battery charger
1 Car built per day on a bespoke line in the McLaren Production Centre
16000 litres of water shot at each production car in monsoon testing to check each on for leaks
600kg of downforce in race mode thanks to 300mm rear wing extension, less drag than a 12C in normal
980 degrees temp of exhaust gas in track mode
6 different types of carbon fibre used in the construction
800 degrees brake disc temperature of special Akebono brakes. Discs are so hard they’re near indestructible and should last the life of the car

Yes - still a prototype. Production of customer cars won't begin until mid-July. First deliveries in the UK in late August or early September to coincide with the McLaren 50th party.
