One of the most beautiful McLaren P1s to roll out of the British factory to date has been the following Azure Blue example. It was recently filmed at a Cars & Coffee event in Los Angeles and understandably drew in a crowed unlike any other car!

By now, you surely don’t need reminding of just how important this car is. But if you do, here are some key details. Under the carbon fibre hood is a twin powerplant generating an astronomical combined output of 903 hp. It gets a very efficient 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 petrol engine and a lightweight electric motor. The remarkable acceleration, delivered as a result of the instant torque offered by the electric motors and the optimized turbos, results in the hand-built car reaching 300 km/h in just 16.5 seconds. This is a staggering 5.5 seconds faster than the legend that is the McLaren F1. Top speed is electronically limited to (just!) 350 km/h.
