The Widow maker, that's what Jeremy Clarkson called the McLaren P1. Its a plug-in hybrid sports car build by McLaren. It was launched on September 2015. It's production was from October 2013 - December 2015, 375 units were built plus prototypes, GTR and LM.
McLaren Automotive is a British automaker company founded in 1963 by Bruce McLaren from New Zealand. Its based at the McLaren Technology Campus in Woking, Surey, United Kingdom. McLaren also competes as a Formula one team named McLaren Honda.
To make the P1 light enough there's neither carpet nor glove box inside. The glass is just 3.5 mm thick except in the back window where there's no glass at all. The whole chassis is made up of carbon fiber. The car weighs only 1547 kg. The car has technology from the future, it adjusts its ride height according to the speed for proper aerodynamics and the rear wing rises when the speed goes high to create more down force but when the car hits 166 mph, it starts going down so that the suspensions don't break due to extreme down force. The wheels are made up of military grade aluminium and the brake disks are made up of Silicon Carbide probably the hardest substance known to man. The tires are specially designed and made by Pirelli. Inside there's a 3.8 liter V8 engine which produces 727 hp with an in h-house developed electric motor which produces 177 hp. The P1 has a total power of 904 hp which accelerates the car from 0-60 mph in just 2.8 seconds.
This car is absolutely a game changer, a new chapter to the motoring history.
