What happens when the biggest automotive icon meets its successor in the beautiful roads of Southern France?

Evo magazine was able to drive back to back a McLaren F1 and a McLaren P1 with the same chassis number (#46 if you really have to ask), courtesy of their lucky owner. McLaren gave the choice to existing F1 owners to purchase a P1 of the same build slot, hence the matching numbers.

There are very few cars that can claim to royal fame; any Ferrari V12 of the ‘60s is a nice example of automotive royalty but the McLaren F1 has all the correct ingredients to position itself on the throne of the Petrolheads’ Kingdom.

How does the P1 compare next to it? Click on the video below the link.
