McLaren today released the official specification sheet for its much-anticipated P1 hypercar, and the reading is good.
A claimed 0-100 km/h sprint time of 2,8-seconds, 0-200 km/h in 6,8-seconds and 0-300 km/h in 16,5 is nothing short of spectacular. The P1 can cover a standing quarter mile in 9,8-seconds and top speed is electronically limited to 350 km/h.
By comparison Porsche claims the 918 will run 0-100 km/h in 2,8-seconds, 0-200 km/h in 7,9-seconds and 0-300 km/h in 23-seconds.
The only performance figure released by Ferrari to date confirms that the LaFerrari will be capable of 0-300 km/h in 15,5-seconds.
The official fuel consumption figure for the twin-turbocharged 3,8-litre V8 engine is 8,3 L/100 km, while the the car can also run solely in electric mode for up to 11 kilometers.
No word on a Nurburgring Nordschleife lap time for the P1 yet but based on these figures the expectation will be that it will better the time of 6:57 set by the Porsche 918.
McLaren has also confirmed that its first UK-based customer took delivery of his P1 in September.
