The McLaren P1 is turning 10 years old.

The first hybrid hypercar that defined a new era is turning 10 years old and we still marvel at its design and advanced technology.
McLaren P1™ - ten facts that distinguish an iconic hypercar:
- The McLaren P1™ accelerates from standstill to 186mph in 16.5 seconds - a full 5.5 seconds quicker than the legendary McLaren F1
- The McLaren P1™ can run in full electric zero-emissions mode for short-distance town driving
- In Race mode, the McLaren P1™ lowers by 2in (50mm) and the spring rates stiffen by 300 percent, allowing the car to corner at more than 2g
- The adjustable rear wing of the McLaren P1™ extends from the bodywork by up to 4.7in (120mm) on the road and up to 11.8in (300mm) on a track
- Carbon ceramic discs coated in silicon carbide bring the McLaren P1™ to standstill from 62mph in just 99ft (30.2m)
- The Formula 1-style Inconel exhaust follows the most direct route from the engine to the back of the McLaren P1™ and weighs just 37.4lbs (17kg)
- The steering wheel diameter of a McLaren P1™ is as technically precise as a wheel used by McLaren racing drivers: the hand grips of McLaren Formula 1 World Champions were modelled on a CAD system during development and scanned to produce an exact replica
- Each McLaren P1™ was custom-built by a team of 82 technicians in a four-stage assembly process. From start to finish, the build of each car took 17 days
- During its development program, the McLaren P1™ covered in excess of 385,250 miles of testing, equivalent to more than 15 times around the world.
- The name comes from Grand Prix racing, ‘P1’ signaling first place on the grid, but there is also heritage in the name: the McLaren F1 was initially known as Project 1, or P1.
