McLaren P1

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.

Mercedes-AMG One

Ever since 2017 when it was introduced as Project One, the Mercedes-AMG One has experienced many challenges.

This supercar has a 1.6-liter V6 engine with 11,000 rpm, which thanks to four electric motors produces over 1,000 hp (746 kW). Some information suggests that engine power could be greater than 1,200 hp. The engine is adapted to Mercedes’ hybrid racer W1 W06. Certainly, it was not easy for Mercedes to meet WLTP emission standards, but even with an engine like this, the Mercedes-AMG One will be among the fastest cars on the road.

Only 275 units of this car will be produced and each unit will cost $ 3 million. The owners are looking forward to the end of 2021, when the delivery of their gems should start.
