McLaren P1 Hits Geneva Motor Show

McLaren's new P1 hypercar has made its official debut this week, arriving in Geneva for a face-off with Ferrari's LaFerrari hero.

The new top-shelf McLaren P1 will draw power from a V8 petrol-electric hybrid system creating a combined 673kW and 900Nm of torque.

With power sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, McLaren says the P1 will hit 100km/h in under 3.0 seconds - nothing more specific than that, but sharp enough. 

Importantly, the P1 lists a 0-200km/h time below 7.0 seconds, and the 0-300km/h sprint is complete in less than 17 seconds - making it at least five seconds quicker than the McLaren F1 hero. 

Top speed is electronically limited to 350km/h.
