We will have to wait for the production model to find out whether the McLaren P1 can live up to its promise, but in the meantime, we can ask your opinion about the hypercar's design and if it hits the right notes.

Ron Dennis is dead serious about everything he does. This is what has made McLaren a front-runner in Formula 1, filling its cabinets with countless trophies, and this is what has made him build a new car company from scratch.
If you already own a McLaren F1, a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and a McLaren MP4-12C, that’s practically all the production cars the Woking-based company has built so far, chances are that, apart from being very rich, you are a very good and respected client.
