McLaren P1 will do 0-100kmph in 2.8 seconds!

McLaren Automotive has finally officially released performance figures for it's halo hypercar, the McLaren P1. The new McLaren is a petrol-hybrid hypercar that features a 3.8-Liter V8 twin-turbo petrol engine and electric motors that help make a total of 916PS and an earth shattering 900PS of torque. Although the spiritual successor to the legendary McLaren F1, the P1 does not have the eccentric 3-seater layout but a more conventional two-seater setup. 

As with the McLaren F1, the P1 is rear-wheel drive, mid engined and used a carbon fiber monocoque body and roof structure called a MonoCage. The McLaren P1 costs about Rs 8.6 Crore (£866,000) in the United Kingdom without any optional extras. The price however, is not the impressive figure. The McLaren P1 can do 0-100kmph in 2.8 seconds and can crack 0-200kmph in just 6.8 seconds while 0-300kmph takes only 16.5 seconds. 

Braking figures too are equally impressive. With Akebono developed Carbon Ceramic discs which are coated in silicone carbide, the McLaren P1 can brake from 100-0kmph in 30.2 kmph. The P1 can do a standing quater mile in 9.2 seconds at a speed of 245kmph. The McLaren P1 was officially unveiled at the Geneva Motor show in 2013 and will be made to a strict production run of only 375 units to maintain exclusivity
