On road and on track, the McLaren P1 has certainly been pushed to breaking point during development. McLaren’s rigorous testing programme is like no other, and has continued at a relentless pace throughout the summer.
From weeks of testing in the freezing temperatures of the Arctic Circle in Sweden to, more recently, the searing heat of Arizona and Nevada, the testing programme for the McLaren P1 has been designed to push every component of the car to the limit, and beyond. In some of the most hostile and toughest conditions on the planet, the P1 passed these tests with flying colours.
Watch the menacing-looking hypercar without camouflage on its final extreme test, pushing the boundaries on road and track in the blistering heat in the footage below.
