The McLaren P1 was unveiled to the world as a design study at the Paris Motor Show in September 2012. Since then, development of the technology beneath the carbon-fibre skin has continued at great pace, says McLaren.

McLaren Automotive has continued the relentless testing programme for the car. The goal being to produce the best driver's car in the world on road and track.

The latest video gives the most detailed view yet of the production McLaren P1. Leveraging five decades of skills and knowledge gained through the company's involvement at the pinnacle of motorsport and through Formula 1 techniques and processes, the McLaren P1 promises to raise the supercar performance bar.

Using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) aerodynamic modelling and bespoke Formula 1-derived dynamics simulation tools, outstanding performance against aggressive targets was established even before the first prototype builds. Detailed analysis has continued hand in hand with physical testing to accelerate the further development of the McLaren P1.

A dedicated team of McLaren engineers, technicians and racing drivers are running a fleet of XP-codenamed vehicles around the clock in some of the most demanding conditions, and on roads and circuits across the globe. The rigorous testing procedures for the McLaren P1 have seen the development team working closely with McLaren Automotive technology partners on bespoke components and developments, including Akebono on a highly-efficient braking system, Pirelli on high performance tyres and Mobil 1 on leading cooling, lubrication and hydraulic fluids.

McLaren says the P1 is set to deliver truly outstanding road and track dynamics and performance, coupled with levels of driveability and refinement unprecedented in such a supercar.

The view that everything should be designed for a reason has filtered down even to the camouflage being worn on the development cars. Designed in-house by the team behind the shape of the car, the graphic incorporates the outlines of famous circuits from across the world, each of which is significant in the history of the brand.
