McLaren P1™ GTR

The McLaren P1™ GTR is a track-tuned version of the McLaren P1™ hybrid hypercar. The production version of the car (with the #51 livery based on the #51 Harrods McLaren F1 GTR) made its official video game debut in Asphalt 8: Airborne, while the 2014 Design Concept version of the car (with the #01 livery) earlier appeared in CSR Racing.

Overview
Debuting at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show, the track-dedicated McLaren P1™ GTR's limited production form sports minor modifications to the Design Concept presented back in 2014, with the most obvious change being the livery used by the Geneva show car. The livery is a homage to the yellow-and-green McLaren #06R F1 GTR, which has claimed its own place in history as one of the five F1 GTRs that dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the historic debut by McLaren in 1995.

The front track is 3.15 inches (80 mm) wider than the road-going McLaren P1™ and with its aggressively profiled front splitter, the car also sits 1.97 in (50 mm) lower to the ground on center-locking 19-inch motorsport alloy wheels shod with Pirelli slick tires. The lower bodywork is trimmed with a sleek aerodynamic blade as shown on the Design Concept, which cleans air flow along the car's flanks.

The McLaren P1™'s lightweight windscreen, just 0.13 in (3.2 mm) thick, has been retained, while the side windows are now motorsport-spec polycarbonate with the driver's side having a sliding "ticket window". The chemically-toughened glass panels in the roof have been replaced with carbon fiber panels to give the cabin a more enclosed, cocooned environment, as has the engine bay cover. The weight saving measures on the McLaren P1™ GTR combine to strip out 110 lbs (50 kg) over the road-going model.

In contrast to the road-going version, the McLaren P1™ GTR's rear end is dominated by the presence of a fixed-height rear wing sitting more than 400 mm above the sculpted rear bodywork – increased by more than 100 mm compared to the adjustable wing of the road car. Working in conjunction with the front-mounted aerodynamic flaps ahead of the front wheels, the rear wing helps to increase downforce levels by more than 10% - meaning up to 1,455 lbs (660 kg) at 150 mph (241 km/h). Mounted on light weight carbon fibre pylon supports, the wing retains the DRS (Drag Reduction System) of the road car, which trims the pitch from 32º to 0º at the push of the button on the steering wheel. Another bold and differentiating feature at the rear are the large twin exhaust pipes, formed from an Inconel and titanium alloy. This system saves in excess of 14.3 lbs (6.5 kg) over the already light road-going system.

Beneath the "shrinkwrapped" carbon fiber bodywork, under the engine cover lies the heart of the McLaren P1™ GTR – the 3.8-liter (3,799 cc) twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine producing 789 HP (800 PS; 588 kW) while paired with an enhanced lightweight electric motor that produces for a total power output of. Torque ratings have been slightly improved over the regular P1, with.

Only 35 units were produced, many of them having been made road-legal.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The McLaren P1™ GTR was introduced in the Hot Summer Update in July 2015. Alongside the McLaren 675LT, the P1 GTR is the first McLaren car to be added to the game since the regular McLaren P1 over a year ago in The Great Wall Update back in early-mid 2014 and also the first one to not use the upgrade prices of the original cars. Unlike the regular P1, the P1 GTR is a Class S car.

As a high-end Class S car, the McLaren P1™ GTR has a starting rank of 1588, a MAX rank of 1716, and a MAX+PRO rank of 1801; via hacking, it can be turned into an Elite Car and have a MAX+PRO+Elite rank of 1832. It is the highest-ranked McLaren vehicle in the game and the fastest McLaren in the game. Also, it is the first car to have a MAX rank above 1700 and a MAX+PRO rank above 1800 without a Tuning Kit. A Tuning Kit adds 30 rank points to the car, allowing for a maximum total of 1831 rank points and an unofficial maximum total of 1862 rank points.

As expected of a high-end Class S car, the McLaren P1™ GTR boasts among the best stats of all non-racing McLaren vehicles, with greatly improved stats over the regular McLaren P1, including a much better launch and acceleration, which is only beaten by the McLaren 570S. It also has among the highest top speed stats of all the McLaren vehicles, topped only by the McLaren 675LT and McLaren F1 XP-5; in fact, the McLaren P1™ GTR's real top speed is only equal to the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione and Mosler GT3 at MAX+PRO+Tuning Kit. The P1 GTR, owing to being a track-tuned version of the P1, considerably handles and drifts much better than the P1 and even the 675LT; this is true since the Summer's Over Update, which fixed a bug in the P1 GTR's drifting capabilities. In fact, since the P1 GTR is an excellent drifter, it can actually beat the Devel Sixteen Prototype in Sector 8, where cars with excellent drift handling come in handy especially due to the 1000-degree ending spiral curve. In terms of nitro duration, however, the P1 GTR is equivalent to the McLaren 570S and Lucra L148, with 7/12/17, compared to the 5/10/15 for the 675LT and F1, but the P1 GTR makes up for this with better acceleration, handling, and total speed. The player must be careful, though, as with most other McLaren cars (especially the McLaren Mercedes MP4-25), the P1 GTR can occasionally lose control or wreck randomly for no reason at all, especially in Tokyo and Venice. In short, the McLaren P1™ GTR serves as a jack-of-all-trades car unlike its rivals, like the TRION NEMESIS and Devel Sixteen Prototype, which are heavily biased towards a single performance aspect at the expense of most, if not all other performance aspects. The McLaren P1™ GTR also has the bonus of counting towards the McLaren and Off the Charts collections.

The McLaren P1™ GTR can be purchased for ( prior to the Championship Update). MAX upgrades total out to, while Pro Kits cost.
