Silverstone Auctions has announced the sale of the McLaren P1. It is the first of 375 units produced in 2013.

It was produced in response to the Ferrari LaFerrari and Porsche 918 racing models. In the construction, light materials were used to keep the weight of the car as low as possible. The body is made of carbon fiber, a thinner windshield has been fitted and many other modifications have been made so that the weight of the car has been reduced to 1,395kg.

Under the hood are a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine with 727 hp and an electric motor with 176 hp, which combined deliver 903 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. The electric motor is powered by a lithium-ion battery and takes two hours to fully charge. It only takes 2.8 seconds to reach 62 mph with a top speed of 217 mph (347 km / h).

The car has had only two owners so far. The last service was at McLaren Birmingham in 2020, and with only 3,666 miles covered it is in excellent condition.

The expected selling price of the McLaren P1 is $ 1.3 million.
