Concept Update: McLaren P1

On March 5 at 10:15 am GMT McLaren will finally unveil its second hyper car that will tread in the footsteps of the McLaren F1. Yesterday they unveiled the dash for the McLaren P1. Well the instrument cluster in race mode. The Also told Top Gear that when in race mode the lovely rear wing will move to a rather appealing and aerodynamic stance. Mobil 1 will work on the fluids for the hydraulic wing while  Pirelli will work on the tires and Akebono will handle the breaks.The McLaren will also feature a power-to-weight ratio of 600bhp per ton. It will also sit on the same carbon tub as the MP4-12C, and will feature KERS too. KERS or Kinetic Energy Recover System, gives a boost from kinetic energy or heat given off from breaking. Pretty cool huh, oh this system is used on the Prius to recharge the batteries. Oh, and it will generate over 600kg or 1,332.7736lb of downforce.
