It’s been 20 years since McLaren took victory at Le Mans in the McLaren F1 GTR and now the brand intends to resurrect the iconic name for an even more special version of the McLaren P1. It’ll be called the McLaren P1 GTR and production of the P1 GTR will only start once the 375th and final McLaren P1 has been completed.

McLaren P1 GTR details

The McLaren P1 GTR will be a track special so will do away with certain road car necessities. The special edition will show increased levels of performance, grip, aerodynamics and downforce. McLaren will also bethrowing on a set of slick tyres and saysthe P1 GTR will develop more power than the already mental 673 kW of the P1 road car. Rumours suggest this track-going McLaren P1 GTR will develop in excess of 1 000hp or 745 kW.

McLaren say it isdeveloping the P1 GTR because owners are demanding a more track-focused car. A P1 GTR is likely to cost around R35-million and will be custom built to each owner’s specification. For your money McLaren does also offer consultations with the F1 driver fitness and Design Director Frank Stephenson as well as use of one of the McLaren simulators.

The kicker in the deal however is the participation in a minimum of six international McLaren drive events hosted at F1 circuits around the world. Right now all we have is this teaser image to go on.

The sketch above is a teaser for the extreme concept design version of the P1, which will be presented during an exclusive preview at the McLaren Brand Centre on August 15th at the McLaren Brand Centre and will make its public debut on the Pebble Beach Concept Lawn over the course of the weekend.

The McLaren P1 GTR has been confirmed to enter production in June 2015, when the 375th and final example of the road-going car will be built – two decades since the 24 Hours of Le Mans win of the iconic McLaren F1 GTR.
