Having owned a 12C, 12C Spider and a few other things I decided it was time to get back into a McLaren

Amethyst black is hard to photograph!

Stunning, the rear end of the P1 is the best design bar none.

The drive is instantly familiar to any P11 owner. It’s only when you explore the upper reaches of performance you find this whole new level. Instant torque from the hybrid. Way too much for the road. In real world on the public road would a 12C keep up? Probably. But would be swapping cogs a lot more

Stiffer than a 12C. Normal = Sport on the 12C on the handling knob. Brakes are immense. I love the steering on all P11 macs but the P1 is a notch above the others for detail and communication.

The party trick is dropping it into E mode which is great when you’re stuck in traffic

At the same time I bagged a 12C off collecting cars in Supernova Silver. Actually just as excited about getting hold of that!

It's the best looking out of the "holy trinity" and the best colour (shade).

Superb! Thanks for sharing.

100% agree, lovely car OP and thanks for sharing. Tempted to start a Readers Rides thread for it, or are you going to be documenting your thoughts/experiences with the car in here?
