As we mentioned yesterday while showing you this magnificent picture of six P1s at McLaren Newport Beach, these guys have sold more P1s than an other representative of the brand anywhere in the world. This Fire Black McLaren P1 is the latest they’ve shifted.
On the surface, this car looks like a plain old black P1. But look closer and you will notice it has a unique kind of glow not found on ordinary black paint jobs. That is because Fire Black McLaren P1 benefits from a special paint formula containing Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Magenta orbs that become visible under direct light.
Fire Black McLaren P1 comes with a simple black leather, Alcantara and carbon interior, and has exposed door panels and skirts, as well as rear spoiler. But it does feature red McLaren logos and P1 lettering on the side, which is a nice little touch to make it even more unique. This car has found a home in Orange County.
McLaren P1 Technical Highlights:
-Aero-led design produces more downforce than any other production road car
-916PS (903 hp) generated by 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine coupled to an electric motor gives tremendous power and instant throttle response with an electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph)
-Active ride height, and aerodynamics work with large adjustable rear wing to give ground effect suction and optimised downforce
-IPAS (Instant Power Assist System) and DRS (Drag Reduction System) offer instant boost of power and straight-line speed
-The MonoCage is one of the lightest carbon fibre full-body structures used in any road car to date, weighing 90kg. This weight includes the roof and lower structures, roof snorkel, engine air intake cavity, battery and power electronics housing

-0 to 300 km/h in less than 17 seconds – five seconds quicker than the legendary McLaren F1
