First dynamic footage of the production-intent McLaren P1

The testing programme for the McLaren P1 has continued at a relentless pace throughout the summer, and in the latest short film from McLaren Automotive, the production ready hybrid hypercar is shown testing in some of the harshest and most challenging conditions. With first deliveries scheduled in the coming weeks, the development team have been pushing the limits of the car to further extremes across North America, in some of the hottest and most arid conditions on the planet.

Finished in Carbon Black, the car is captured on the road undisguised for the first time, working through a number of final durability tests before the first of the limited run of 375 models is delivered to customers. The extreme temperature testing saw the McLaren P1 experiencing heat in excess of 52°C through Arizona, California and Nevada, as the western coast of America experienced some of the hottest temperatures on record.
