McLaren and Top Gear have a special connection between them, like how the British supercar maker utilizes their Dunsfold Test Track in perfecting their MP4-12C Italia-eater. And with their new P1 hypercar being recently revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, it seems that we do not have to wait long to see the 903-horsepower hybrid being trashed around the famous test track.
McLaren said that the production version of their new hybrid hypercar, the P1, will look almost identical as the concept version unveiled over at Paris. While we have seen a lot of concept cars being toned down to a tame and restricted form when reaching the production lines, McLaren on the other hand kept their word.
McLaren swore that the P1 will the next big thing that had come from them, almost like how the legendary F1 did back in its days. But the F1 had a mighty 6.1-liter V12 powering it to the record books, while the P1 only had to make do with the same 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine found in the MP4-12C. Sounds like an impossible task to undertake? Not for McLaren, though.
McLaren have not wasted any time in the development of their new P1 hypercar, and it seems that they are really looking into making it a rare gem on the roads. Holding a private event at Beverly Hills last week, McLaren gave their potential customers a sneak peek of what it seems to be not only the best creation that had ever come out from the British marquee, but could also be the best sports car in the world.
If you are familiar with the GT Asia series or even any GT race that took place at Sepang International Circuit, then the Team Clearwater Racing should not be a new name to you. Racing in the Ferrari 458 GT3, it is almost impossible to not notice this blisteringly-loud Italia passing by, bearing its iconic dragon livery on its sides. But it seems that 2013 will have a lot of surprises in store for them as for this year’s racing season, they will be switching to the all-new and proven McLaren 12C GT3 racing car.
Although they might not have a wide and diverse lineup, McLaren’s creations will always captivate and astonish the automotive world. The McLaren F1 is purely a speed machine that still wows today’s generation, and the MP4-12C is quickly rising above the ranks to be the best performing supercar there is. And with the P1 concept recently shown to the world at the Paris Motor Show, we are one step closer in actually having it rocking the automotive world as the production version of this new hypercar was recently unveiled at a private event in New York.

TIMETOATTACK 2012 Final Round Details:
The FIA Formula E is gaining momentum in being a world-class racing event that would probably be the mould of motorsports in the future. Aside from the recent news of Formula E Holdings acquiring 42 race machines from Spark Racing Technology for the upcoming 2014 championship, another city had also expressed their interest in holding this new and unique race event; Rome.
So the name might not be that catchy and the looks might not match the main rival of the Ferrari 458 Italia. But yet the McLaren MP4-12C continues to make a great presence into the world of supercar that it had recently and surprisingly named as the “Car of the Year” during the 2012 Middle East Motor Awards.
