McLaren P1™

Introduction
The McLaren P1 is a hypercar in the Asphalt series.

Overview
The McLaren P1 is the spiritual successor to the McLaren F1, whose last appearance in an Asphalt game was in Asphalt 7: Heat. The P1 is powered by a 3.8L McLaren M838TQ twin-turbo V8 engine (727 HP) combined with a McLaren-developed electric motor (+176 HP), giving it 903 HP (916 PS). It is claimed to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 2.8 seconds up to an electronically limited top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h). Only 375 units in the real world were made, with the entire run of 375 units selling out by November 2013.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The McLaren P1 is one of the several cars introduced in the Great Wall update.

The McLaren P1 is among one of the most powerful Class A cars in the game, with a starting rank of 1470 and a maximum rank of 1611 (shared with the Jaguar C-X75). When a Pro Kit is applied, the P1 gains a final rank of 1698, making it the fifth most powerful Class A car in the game, after the Savage Rivale GTR and Nissan GT-R NISMO, both with a final rank of 1701, the Volkswagen W12, with a final rank of 1706, and the Tramontana XTR, with a final rank of 1711. This is one of the most popular cars in time-limited events involving Class A cars, thanks to its superb stats and an excellent nitro efficiency. However, it still has a slower nitro boost and wider turning radius than the Ferrari LaFerrari (which also handles better), but still has a better top speed. Occasionally, if the player isn't careful, the P1 may suffer from skid glitches on any track, like with the Koenigsegg Agera R. This is especially true on Tokyo and Venice, where there are puddles on the track (in the case of Tokyo, the roads are wet due to the rainy weather). However, with very good stats, the P1 becomes an effective choice on any track, only beaten by the Savage Rivale GTR on most tracks. Also, if driven correctly in multiplayer, a maxed out McLaren P1 can beat even a maxed out Koenigsegg One:1, Hennessey Venom GT, or a 9FF GT9 VMAX. In the air, the P1 can reach 295 mph (475 km/h) when maxed out.

The McLaren P1 costs 475,000 Credits to purchase and like with most other Class A cars, 364,400 Credits to max out. Prior to the release of the Ferrari FF, the McLaren P1's cost was 420,000 Credits (the same as that of the Pagani Huayra from Class S). Overall, if the player can't get the Savage Rivale GTR due to its extremely high max upgrade price of 2,848,900 Credits, the P1 is a much cheaper alternative.

The McLaren P1 has only two events (both are Classic events) in Career mode: Both events have a bonus star of No Wrecks.
 * Race 34 of Season 7, set in Buddha's Teachings. One of the bonus stars is: Perfect Runs: 4.
 * Race 59 of Season 9, set in The Rose of the Desert. One of the bonus stars is: Beat a Race Time of 01:05:000.

The McLaren P1 also appears as an AI racer in the two aforementioned events, as well as the Nissan GT-R NISMO's Season 8 race, set in San Diego Harbor.
