McLaren Automotive has confirmed that the global debut of the production-ready McLaren P1™ will be at the 83rd International Motor Show in Geneva, and taken the opportunity to give a glimpse of the, so far unseen, interior. The latest insight confirms that the McLaren P1™ will adopt a race-inspired digital dash readout, and gives further information relating to the levels of performance that can be expected with a highly-focused 'Race' mode.

The McLaren P1™ has a clear goal: to be the best driver's car in the world on road and track. In order to achieve this, performance and handling are key, but to extract the best from the aerodynamic bodyshape and the groundbreaking technology beneath the carbon fibre exterior, the driver has to feel comfortable and in control. For this reason, the cabin of the McLaren P1™ is fully focused on the driver, and is clear from clutter and distraction as these first images show.

The interior of the McLaren P1™ offers the driver and passenger a cocooning, efficiently packaged, comfortable cabin. The interior feels like the cockpit of a fighter jet, complete with glass canopy overhead and, with a windscreen deeper than it is wide, visibility is optimised. This makes the car all the easier to plant on road and track.

Light weight - as with the rest of the car - is a priority, and switchgear is kept to a minimum, yet the McLaren P1™ retains luxury features such as full climate control, satellite navigation and a bespoke sound system, developed from the outset with Meridian.

McLaren is a pioneer in the use of carbon fibre, and it features extensively throughout the McLaren P1™, not least in the MonoCage chassis and the aerodynamically-shaped body panels, but also inside the two-seat cabin. It is the lightest possible material, while offering the strength desirable for safety and structural integrity, and is used for the dashboard, floor, headlining, doors, rockers and a single piece is shaped for the central control unit to further optimise weight. Attention to detail within the interior of the McLaren P1™ is such that, to further reduce weight, the top layer of resin has been removed, to leave the carbon non-lacquered for a more natural look… and saves a further 1.5kg.

The amount of trim covering within the cabin has been minimised, leaving as many parts as exposed as possible, and there is no interior sound deadening in order to optimise weight saving even further. Carpet is offered, as an option, but when chosen, it is fitted with a special lightweight backing.

The racing bucket seats use the minimum amount of foam, are encased in ultra-thin carbon fibre shells, and mounted on lightweight brackets and runners, contributing to an overall weight of just 10.5kg each. The seat backs are fixed to 28 degrees from the vertical, but can be set to 32 degrees to make them more suitable for racing as it will give more helmet head room. The height of the seat will be custom set to suit the driver and passenger, and can be subsequently adjusted in the workshop. Fixings for a six-point race harnesses are in place, in addition to inertia reel seat belts.

The steering wheel diameter is as technically precise as a McLaren racing driver's wheel. This is because past McLaren world champions' grips were modelled on a CAD system and scanned to produce an exact replica. The rim is finished in Alcantara, with carbon fibre inserts.

Sicuramente è validissima tecnicamente e sarà velocissima, se più o meno della Ferrari lo vedremo solo col tempo, quando verranno confrontate e messe alla frusta sui circuiti.

Spero per loro che abbiano imparato la lezione della 458 e che si sbilancino un po' meno nel fare pronostici su quanti secondi rifileranno alla Ferrari, perché la prima volta è finita abbastanza male.

Oh, io non so più come dirlo... ma guarda che è lo stesso discorso di Tony e con il quale io sono assolutamente d'accordo... ripeto che non me ne frega una cippa di chi batte il record al 'Ring, sono discorsi che non mi appartengono.

Per il resto, ribadisco: anteriore orrendo (anche se funzionale), fiancata molto bella, posteriore particolare, ma bello, interni niente male. Tutto sommato, promossa.

Non è assolutamente brutta..... ma non mi fa nemmeno "strappare le mutande"......

Wow, puo' piacere o meno ma e' tecnicamente, sopratutto dal punto di vista della aerodinamica, e' parecchio interessante. Chissa' se riuscira' a creare quello che fece a suo tempo la F1.

PS - la clientela delle hypercar (o delle supercar piu' spinte) e' divisa in due fazioni: chi le compra per passione e collezionismo e chi le compra per i numeri

[TonyH]

chi le compra per i numeri

[poliziottesco]

Quelli li puoi sparare anche alti, tanto, hai voglia a trovare qualcuno capace di smentirti!

Assolutamente, in generale su come si fanno quei numeri, chi e' nel settore lo sa bene, vedi Trucido che ha "lucidati" anche in questo senso.

Insomma mica dico che i numeri devi farli veri, dico che su certe auto DEVI farli.

Secondo te GT-R sarebbe diventato il mito che e' se non avesse fatto certi numeri sui tempi? Avremmo avuto fior di ragazzi che girano orgogliosi in GT-R bianche in Abu-Dhabi o Oman?

Veyron sarebbe diventata il mito che e' se non avvesse avuto i mille cavalli o non avesse raggiunto quella velocita' max?
