The Last Ever McLaren P1 Has Just Rolled Off The Production Line

Updated: 10 Oct 2024

See that lovely orange beast on the right in the picture above? That’s the last ever McLaren P1. The 903bhp hybrid hypercar - powered by McLaren’s now familiar 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor - actually sold out before the first car was delivered, such was demand, but it’s taken Woking until now to meticulously piece together all 375 examples.

Production of the track-only P1 GTR will continue until early 2016, but after that, this generation of McLaren’s ‘Ultimate Series’ range of cars will come to an end. As with when production of the Porsche 918 Spyder (one of the P1’s arch rivals, as you should know by now) ended, this has us wondering about the future. Where will McLaren go for its next hypercar? Perhaps an even more powerful car? Maybe a smaller engine and more electric power?

The P1, 918 and the LaFerrari have all pushed the boundaries of what we expect from hypercars - both in their raw numbers and the way they achieve them - so it’ll be fascinating to see where the trio of manufacturers go next.

What are your predictions for the P1’s successor?

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.

AM I the only one…Who thinks that the p1 would be better with only 1 color

I’m pretty sure he ment one color as not a two tone paintjob

I think that the any color + black doors fits it better, and makes it unique.

Nooo Shmee was supposed to buy a MSO cerulean blue P1

Those paintjobs… I came…

Holy pooping balls of poop that’s gorgeous!

P1 successor will most likely be similar to the bmw i8 with everything turned up 2 a million.

This article pains me to upvote…

The Mclaren Z1.

2,5l V6 TT ~ 800 HP (mclaren magic)
4 Electric motors (1 for each wheel) ~ 600 HP
~ 1350 kg (mclaren magic again)
Some McLaren stuff.

that mclaren magic though

McLaren F2 would be awesome

Looks the same color as the F1 LM was almost 20 years ago

You could get them any color from what I understand, and many people who bought these owned the original F1 and got them printed to match. There was a review of the F1 versus the P1 the cars were leased front the same owner and both the same beautiful dark blue color. The things I would do for an F1 or a P1…incredible machines.
