The McLaren P1 is a British limited-production plug-in hybrid sports car produced by McLaren. Debuted at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, retail began in the UK in October 2013 and all 375 units were sold out by November.[6] Production ended in December 1 2015.The United States accounted for 34% of the units and Europe for 26%.It is considered to be the successor to the F1, utilising hybrid power and Formula 1 technology, but does not have the same three-seat layout as its predecessor. Like the F1, the P1 is a mid-engine, rear wheel drive design that used a carbon fibre monocoque and roof structure safety cage concept called MonoCage, which is a development of the MonoCell first used in the MP4-12C and then in subsequent models. Its main competitors were the LaFerrari and the Porsche 918. They are all similar in specifications and performance, and in a race around Silverstone circuit they were all within half a second of each other, the P1 finishing first at 58.24 sec and the LaFerrari finishing last at 58.58 sec; the 918 was in-between with 58.46 sec.
