Sharp-eyed viewers may notice that the disguise used on the prototype P1 isn't just random but consists of the outlines of racing circuits. Each track is in some way significant in McLaren's 50-year history - demonstrating the company's attention to every last detail.
A fleet of XP-codenamed prototype P1s are running around the clock in the hands of a dedicated team of engineers, technicians and racing drivers. Development work is taking place across the globe, on roads and racing circuits and in all conditions. Also involved in the process are McLaren Automotive's technology partners, including Akebono on brakes, Pirelli on tyres and Mobil 1 on cooling, lubrication and hydraulic fluids.
The aim of the testing, in McLaren's own words, is to make the P1 'the best driver's car in the word on road and track'.
