The cream rises: 2014 McLaren P1
Oh. My. God! The videos are stunning. My new favorite exotic supercar.
903 horsepower, can hit 62 mph in less than 2.8 seconds, can hit 186 mph in less than 15 seconds. Top speed 221 mph. McLaren-engineered powertrain that combines the company’s own twin-turbo V-8 (as seen in the MP4-12C), a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, and hybrid components.
The car is chock full of modes, Launch, Track, Race, Sport, and E among them. They’re all activated, fittingly, once you depress the “Active” button. They variously enable breakneck getaways, adjust suspension height and firmness, tweak powertrain programming and power delivery, and adjust other sundry chassis settings. Stability control can be fully defeated in Track and Race modes. Price starts at $1.6 million.
