| McLaren P1 Confirmed for 2013 |
McLaren confirmed that P1 will get a reading of race-inspired digital dashboard.
Visually demonstrate what the driver would see a transition P1 McLaren became entirely focused track car, "McLaren said in a statement." When choosing a race mode, the double element customized 'active' extended rear wing, and the wing pitch change to optimal aerodynamic position.
"In race mode, the display includes lights at the top of the bank, which illuminates green, followed by red and finally blue is acting as an indicator of a shift,. As in a Formula 1 car."
Despite the global automotive media continue to speculate that the P1 price tag will exceed the $ 1 million, AS McLaren spokeswoman Michele Shapiro told Edmunds that no price was announced.
The production version will be unveiled at the McLaren P1 March 5.
Edmunds said: Wrap slowly coming from P1 McLaren, with the latest look at the supercar's interior.
In production for the Geneva Motor Show 2013 McLaren is preparing to write a new chapter in the history at the Geneva Motor Show in March, the automaker recently confirmed that the event will mark the debut of P1 production ready.
The British company took the concept of P1 with last year's Paris Motor Show, but the technical side of the vehicle is far from fully developed. In 2013 we saw P1 during our testing session tracks and was recently offered a preview of the supercar will feature a digital dashboard.
McLaren MP4-12C, the company 'junior' supercar, already offers an amazing level of performance, with P1 set to take to the sky-high levels. Price of the vehicle may be described in the same way.
As McLaren explains, the screen in Race mode includes bank lights at the top, which illuminates green, followed by red and finally blue. It acts as an indicator of a shift, as in their own car McLaren Formula One racing.
Outside the cabin, a large rear wing extends P1 active and pitch that turns into an optimal aerodynamic position.
McLaren says it all to us now, although the automaker has given us some car specifications. McLaren had previously told us P1 will offer a ratio of weight-to-power is better than 3.7-pounds-per-horsepower.
Exactly how it will get there is still a bit of mystery, but fatter version of the 3.8-liter MP4-12C a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine, mated to a possible KERS (kinetic energy recovery system) hybrid systems, such as those found in F1 , is one possibility. Total output can be above 800 horsepower.
Construction of the car will be all carbon fiber. Built around what McLaren MonoCage like to call it, P1 uses a carbon fiber monocoque and roof structure can form a strong safety cage. MonoCage structure, unlike the 12C MonoCell, it also serves to guide the air into the engine through the snorkel and the integral roof air intake duct, further weight savings.
Sales of new P1 will begin later this year, the same year in which McLaren celebrates 50th anniversary. Price is expected to exceed the $ 1 million.
