You Can Buy A Mini Electric McLaren P1 And It Even Has Dihedral Doors
The McLaren P1 is an incredible machine, but with small production numbers and an original price not that far off a million quid, it’s not exactly a car of the people, is it? However, Woking has now produced a P1 almost all of us should be able to afford - it costs just £375.
The catch? It’s made of plastic, and is a ride-on toy intended for people aged six and under. Although in its press release, McLaren does say of the age restriction: “at least that’s the official guidance”. Sounds like a challenge to us…
The top speed is 3mph, and the Volcano Orange-only machine can rocket to that terminal speed in just two seconds. “Like every McLaren, its acceleration is startling,” McLaren says. Quite.
There are three forward gears plus a reverse gear, but the best bit is the doors. Yep, they’re dihedral, just like on the real thing.
Have a kid who’d love his own McLaren, or want to try and squeeze yourself behind the wheel of this diminutive P1? It goes on sale at McLaren dealers from October.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
