Production McLaren P1 spied in the UK

The production version of the McLaren P1 has been recently spied in the United Kingdom, proving that the supercar is even closer to its debut scheduled for next year.

After it was officially presented to the public in a concept form during the 2012 Paris Motor Show a couple of months ago, the McLaren P1 is entering our news once again, this time with the help of a few spy photos, which are revealing the final production version of the British supercar. The McLaren P1 in question has been caught on camera in Norfolk, United Kingdom, where it was being tested ahead of its debut set for the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

The McLaren P1 is the official successor of the iconic F1 and the supercar will be placed above the MP4-12C and the 12C Spyder in terms of both performance and price, but even so, the model will get the same engine as its brothers mentioned above, the 3.8 liter turbo, which should produce an extra 120 HP. The McLaren P1 is challenging the Bugatti Veyron in terms of top speed and the company is saying that this will be the fastest accelerating car in the world. The final production version of the P1 will be unveiled in Geneva next year. Only 500 units of the McLaren P1 are expected to be produced. Additional details on the supercar are limited for the moment and will be announced during the Swiss automotive event next year.
