Laddar...Annons från Laddar...Annons från McLaren P1 GTR i produktionsform
Klädd i klassiska färger
Efter att ha visats som koncept för sex månader sedan presenterar McLaren nu den färdiga produktionsversionen av den 1 000 hästar starka racerbilen P1 GTR. Det första man lägger märke till är färgschemat som är en hyllning till McLaren F1 GTR med chassinummer #06R som dominerade på Le Mans för 20 år sedan.Jämfört med en vanlig P1 är GTR:en 50 millimeter lägre och har en 80 millimeter bredare spårvidd. Kjolpaketet är också på alla sätt och vis mer extremt, med små vingar i fronten för att ge ännu mer downforce och en fet diffusor med lika fet fast monterad vinge i baken. En sak man också lägger märke till baktill är de dubbla avgaspiporna som argt mynnar ut i mitten. Dessa är tillverkade i Inconel och titan och är 6.5 kilo lättare än det som sitter i gatversionen av P1. Totalt har man fått ner vikten på bilen med 50 kilo.McLaren P1 GTR kommer att stå utställd tillsammans med 675LT på mässan i Genève nästa månad. Mer information finns i pressmeddelandet nedan.

McLAREN P1™ GTR TO SHOW ITS LIMITED PRODUCTION
FORM IN GENEVA
? Makes the transition from concept to production with track tested modifications
? Tuning in development results in 10 percent more downforce than the McLaren
P1™ road car
? Lightweight components and motorsport technologies trim a further 50kg
? McLaren P1™ GTR Driver Programme confirms first locations
? Geneva Show car livery inspired by iconic McLaren F1 GTR, chassis #06R
? McLaren P1™ GTR will premiere alongside the recently announced McLaren
675LT on Stand 1240, Hall 1 at 12.15 CET (11.15 GMT) on Tuesday, 3 March
The track dedicated, 1000PS McLaren P1™ GTR will debut at the 85th International
Geneva Motor Show in limited production form with only minor modifications to the
Design Concept presented just six months ago. The most noticeable change is the
livery that the Geneva show car will be sporting. It is one which will be available to the
fortunate few who will be joining the McLaren P1™ GTR Driver Programme that kicks
off at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain later this year. The design is homage to the
yellow and green McLaren F1 GTR, chassis #06R, which has claimed its own place in
history as one of the five F1 GTRs that dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the
historic debut by McLaren 20 years ago.
From design concept to the track
The McLaren P1™ GTR has completed an extensive and intense testing schedule
across the world following the unveil of the Design Concept at the Pebble Beach
Concours d’Elegance last summer. This has produced enhancements to the original
design to optimise aerodynamic performance and cooling.
The front track is 80mm wider than the road-going McLaren P1™ and with its
aggressively profiled front splitter, the also car sits 50mm lower to the ground on centre-
locking 19-inch motorsport alloy wheels shod with Pirelli slick tyres. The lower bodywork
is trimmed with a sleek aerodynamic blade as previewed on the design concept, which
cleans the flow of air along the car’s flanks.
The lightweight windscreen from the McLaren P1™ road car, measuring just 3.2mm
thick, has been retained, while the side windows are now motorsport-specification
polycarbonate with a sliding ‘ticket window’ on the driver’s side. The chemically
toughened glass panels in the roof have been replaced with carbon fibre panels to give
the cabin a more enclosed, cocooned environment, as has the engine bay cover. The
weight saving measures on the McLaren P1™ GTR combine to strip out 50kg over the
road-going model.
The rear of the track-only model is dominated, in contrast to the road-going McLaren
P1™, by the presence of a fixed-height wing which sits more than 400mm above the
sculpted rear bodywork – an increase of over 100mm of the adjustable wing on the road
car. Working in conjunction with the front-mounted aerodynamic flaps ahead of the
front wheels, the rear wing helps to increase downforce levels by more than 10 percent
– meaning up to 660kg at 150 mph. Mounted on light weight carbon fibre pylon
supports, the wing retains the DRS (Drag Reduction System) of the road car, which
trims the pitch from 32° to 0° at the push of the button on the steering wheel. Another
bold and differentiating feature at the rear are the large twin exhaust pipes, formed from
an Inconel and titanium alloy. This system saves in excess of 6.5kg over the already
light road-going system.
Significant updates and modifications to the IPAS powertrain have been made beneath
the ‘shrinkwrapped’ carbon fibre bodywork. At its heart, the McLaren P1™ GTR
seamlessly integrates the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine with an enhanced
lightweight electric motor. Combined, these powerplants generate 1,000PS; 800PS
(789bhp) is produced by the petrol engine, coupled to 200PS (197bhp) available
immediately from the electric motor.
The powertrain has been thoroughly revised for optimum performance on track, with
key components replaced with motorsport-developed parts, more suited to the
sustained high speed running the cars will be subjected to. In addition to this, features
within the powertrain of the McLaren P1™ designed specifically for public highway use
have been removed to reduce weight.
McLaren F1 GTR #06R: inspiring a new generation
McLaren F1 GTR chassis #06R was campaigned successfully throughout the 1995 and
1996 seasons with Mach One Racing, and is one of the longest serving examples of the
McLaren F1 GTR in competition. The Harrods-sponsored #51 was famously one of
seven McLaren F1 GTRs to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995, and was
driven to the final podium position by multiple Le Mans race winner Derek Bell, his son
Justin, and Andy Wallace. After this result, the team went on to win the final three races
of the BPR Championship.
The following year, the team enjoyed another strong campaign. Oliver Grouillard joined
Derek Bell and Andy Wallace in the line-up for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and finished a
commendable sixth. The team also claimed a win at Silverstone in the Global GT
Endurance championship.
McLaren P1™ Driver Programme
The first locations for the first McLaren P1™ Driver Programme have now been
confirmed, and will see drivers attend an initial test session at Silverstone, England,
followed by the first on-track activity at Circuit de Catalunya in Spain. These events will
follow on from individual driver profiling sessions at the McLaren Technology Centre.
These tailored consultations will include a race seat fitting, a Human Performance
Centre assessment, and final discussions around the design and livery of each model
with McLaren Automotive Design Director Frank Stephenson. Each driver will also
experience the McLaren P1™ GTR from the simulator for the first time.
Ultimate Series forms the third and final tier of the McLaren model line-up
The McLaren P1™ GTR joins the road-going McLaren P1™ in the Ultimate Series. This
exclusive range prioritises aerodynamics and outright performance through notable
advances in weight reduction, chassis and powertrain engineering and the use of
pioneering materials.
McLaren has now established a three tier naming structure of Sports Series, Super
Series and Ultimate Series. The Sports Series is the entry point to McLaren and will
make its global debut at the 2015 New York International Auto Show in April. Above this
sits the core McLaren Super Series, comprising the 650S, the Asia-only 625C and the
recently-announced 675LT which will premiere at the Geneva Motor Show.
The McLaren P1™ GTR will make its global debut alongside the recently announced
McLaren 675LT on Stand 1240, Hall 1 at 12.15 CET (11.15 GMT) on Tuesday, 3 March
