McLaren may not be willing to divulge any official technical details about its pre-production P1, at least not until the study's world debut at the Paris Motor Show on Thursday, but it has no problem showing us pictures of its upcoming Ferrari and Porsche challenger.
This new gallery gives us an all-around look at the new P1, which McLaren labels as a design study, but then goes on to say that it previews the final production version that will be unveiled in 2013 with the aim of going on sale within 12 months after its presentation.
Perhaps one of the first things you will notice in these new photos is the huge, retractable rear wing sitting behind the teardrop shaped roof and which was out of sight in the initial gallery.
Several parts of the body such as the central sections of the front and rear bumpers, the side sills and mirrors are made out of visible carbon fiber.
The F1's spiritual successor is believed to be powered by a modified version of the MP4-12C’s twin-turbocharged V8, possibly connected to a Formula 1-style Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), for a combined output that could approach the 900hp mark.
McLaren has said that its ultimate goal with the P1 is to create "the best driver’s car in the world on road and track".

Hmmm.....I Love what I see. And Just WoW!!! pure beauty.
hmm, i like it from some angles, but in general it just seems a little cartoonish
WoW as in World of Warcraft? You've spent too much time in front of the computer...
It looks even better now we get a good look at it. Worthy of an F1 replacement.
one of the most beautiful car on this planet. the others Ferrari 288 GTO, and BB512.
It looks like one of the concepts of the MP4-12C than never made it. Or an aftermarket bodykit for the MP4-12C. Anything but an F1. There is nothing radical in the design that says hypercar. To me it's a quiet and moderate fail.
Laugh out Loud......Yeah, Coming from a guy who alias is "Sushi Ninja" I spend a lot of time in world of warcraft. But getting back on tangent I generally like it, because its a honest different take on what a supercar should be. Its doesn't look generic as it little sibling and it has a "genuine alien out of this world" look about it. However, it doesn't provoke that tuxedo feel like the Jaguar (concept) , Ferrari , and the Pagani hyper cars.
Too bad Optimus Prime it too big to into change on this.
Styling is overdone, to many lines! I prefer an F1, is the steering in the center?
