McLaren P1 Spotted Spyshot Picture in France

This image comes from Spy photographers who have seen the McLaren P1 Spotted is happening again in France. Image of the photos were shot in the south of France and showed the prototype P1 but has disguised the validation testing. The images are at once revealed nearly identical to the design of the study were released at the Paris Motor Show last year.

While the overall shape has a hint of the MP4-12C with the center exhaust and rear facia layout in the rear section. But from the information circulated, it's definitely a more extreme design with layered diffuser so it looks more aggressive. At the front air intakes reminiscent of the Aston Martin One-77 and a set of lights that look visually similar to a logo owned by McLaren Automotive.


Car of the P1 family was designed from the start to prioritize strong aerodynamic performance. This resulted in the designers spend hours in the wind tunnel and on the back of the computer with the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) to generate aerodynamic modeling. Of this work can produce staggering 600kg of downforce at speeds far below the restaurant, with the appearance of five times more than the McLaren MP4-12C.
