The McLaren P1 Supercar were released in order to get people excited for the car’s debut. McLaren has some pretty lofty goals for the P1. McLaren Automotive Executive Chairman Ron Dennis, said that he hopes the new P1 redefines the supercar.

The aim of McLaren P1 Supercar is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit. It is the true test of a supercar’s all round ability and a much more important technical statement. The goal is to make the McLaren P1 the most exciting, most capable, most technologically advanced and most dynamically accomplished supercar ever made.

It has the smallest frontal area of any car in its segment, yet it still has over 1,300 pounds of downforce up front at 125 mph (Cd is 0.34). Hot air flow through the two hood nostrils is divided precisely between the door aero vents and the center roof snorkel.The car as shown is 97-percent final and will be on delivery near the end of 2013.
