All the P1s allocated for the Americas, Asia Pacific and the Middle East have been sold. There only remain a few units available in the Europe, though it is unlikely that McLaren would allocate them for a different region. This is being done so as to preserve the exclusivity of the hypercar in every region it is sold.

Autocar also report that nearly 80 to 90% of P1 customers have opted for a unique design from McLaren Special Operations. As a result, the average price of a P1 is being quoted at upwards of 1 million pounds (INR 10.1 crores).

The P1 gets its power from a highly tuned 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine (the normal version of this engine is seen on the MP4-12C) producing 727bhp and 720Nm of torque. Thanks to an electric motor which assists the propulsion, the overall power output stands at 903bhp and the peak torque is rated at 900Nm.
