Shown here is the fascinating 2015 McLaren P1 GT, number 4 of just 4 total GT examples built by Lanzante Limited out of around 448 total examples of the P1 model believed to have been built across all variants with prototypes included. The P1 was first ever introduced in September of 2012 and was designed by both Robert Melville (McLaren’s former design director) & American/British automobile designer Frank Stephenson. The P1 is considered one of the ‘holy trinity’ hypercars alongside both the LaFerrari & Porsche 918 Spyder. Before actual production, around 21 P1 prototypes were produced consisting of 13 XP cars (experimental prototypes), 5 VP cars (validation prototypes), and 3 PP cars (pre-production units). In addition to this, McLaren built 59 GTR versions, 6 LM versions, and 375 production road cars. This car originally started out 1 of the 59 GTR examples produced, but was later converted by @lanzantelimited to become the 4th of 4 total P1 GT conversions built by the company. While a GTR, this car was finished in Volcano Yellow/British Racing Green with a Carbon Black Alcantara interior (a modern interpretation of the Harrods seen on F1 GTR 06R). Post conversion, this example is now finished in a specification inspired by the McLaren F1 GT chassis 058’s original specification, and is shown here in burgundy with a tan leather and red Alcantara interior. This is road conversion number 29 from Lanzante. The GTR variant on which this car is based is a resurrection of the ‘GTR’ name is celebration of the companies 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans victory. The GTR variant features a race-prepared suspension, a massive fixed rear wing, and an exclusively designed exhaust made of titanium and inconel, plus much more. The GT conversion includes stretched out “long tail” style bodywork, a larger rear wing, a quad exhaust system, and a number of other modifications.
