The McLaren P1 is a supercar produced by British marque McLaren Automotive. It is a plug-in hybrid with a mid-engine layout. It was first shown at the 2012 Paris Motor Show,[5] with sales of the P1 beginning in the United Kingdom in October 2013 and all of the limited run of 375 units sold by November 2013.[6][7] Production ended in early December 2015.[8] The United States accounted for 34% of the units and Europe for 26%.[8]

It is considered by the automotive press to be the successor to the McLaren F1, utilising hybrid power and Formula One technology, but does not have the same three-seat layout. It was later confirmed that the Speedtail served as the actual successor to the McLaren F1. The P1 has a mid-engine, rear wheel drive design that used a carbon fibre monocoque and roof structure safety cage concept called MonoCage, which is a development of the MonoCell first used in the MP4-12C and then in subsequent models. Its main competitors are the LaFerrari and the 918 Spyder. They are all similar in specifications and performance, and in a race around Silverstone circuit they were all within half a second of each other, the P1 finishing first at 58.24 seconds and the LaFerrari finishing last at 58.58 seconds; the 918 was in-between with 58.46 seconds.[9]

Parts of the car were inspired by a sailfish that Frank Stephenson saw when on holiday in Miami.[10]

58 units of the track-oriented P1 GTR[11] and 5 units of its road legal counterpart, the P1 LM were produced after the initial run of 375 cars.

13 experimental prototypes 'XP', 5 validation prototypes 'VP',[12] and 3 pre-production 'PP' cars were produced by McLaren before the production of the P1 started.[13] A number of these 21 test cars have been refurbished, modified and sold to customers.[14]
