McLaren claims that the P1 GTR is the “best driver's car in the world on track”, with the car weighing 50 kg lighter than its road-going version, credit to the carbon fiber body panels, titanium alloys and polycarbonate windows.

It is powered by a 3.8-liter V8 twin-turbo engine that sends out 800 PS and a more potent electric motor that makes 200 PS, giving it a combined output of 1,000 PS.

The new McLaren is 80mm wider than the standard P1 and sits 50mm lower, featuring 19-inch alloy wheels shod with Pirelli tires. At the rear, the car gets a large wing that helps, with other tweaks, in increasing the downforce by 10 percent over the standard.
