Even a little bit of McLaren news in the early evening.

Earlier today we saw McLaren’s 570S Sprint in the past and sprinting. That model is a sportversie on the basis of a straatmodel that is not on the public roads. Now, with both the P1 LM for exactly the opposite: a P1 GTR for the street.

The name is a reference to the, how could it be otherwise, McLaren F1 LM‘s from the years ’90. After McLaren the victory picked up at Le Mans with the F1 GTR, there were six F1 LM’s which are based on the GTR but suitable for a number plate. Lil’ Lewis wild one. Final boss Ron Dennis promised him that he alone was able to take from Woking when he was three-time champion would be with McLaren. Three-time champion he is by now, but two of those championships were earned for Mercedes. Lewis must be so comforting with his purple Pagani and his Ritz.

Back to the P1. After a production run of 375 pieces, which last year concluded it would be actually done with the P1. However, there were also the 35 P1 GTR’s, which is only suitable for the circuit. A zwikje GTR customers, however, were cunning, and knocked at the historically responsible Dean Lanzante to their GTR to build for the gritty streets. When McLaren was informed of this event, has decided to help support the project and-oh yes! – six P1’s officially the addition of LM.

The LM has a number of gift details. So is the handlebar, a custom version of the MP4/23 Lewis Hamilton in 2008 to the F1-title reed. Further lies the V8 biturbo like the F1 in a gold heat shields protected motorbaai and the car is 60 Kg lighter than the GTR because of the lack of an automatic liftsyteem.

One of the LM’s, called XP1 LM with the X by Xzibit eXperimental, it remains in the possession of McLaren. The other five have already been sold for a undisclosed ammount’.
