The McLaren P1 GTR '16 is a track-only hypercar produced by McLaren. It appears in Gran Turismo Sport (as part of Update 1.31) and Gran Turismo 7.

In-game description[]

The P1 GTR is a circuit-only race car based on the 'P1' Hybrid Supercar announced in 2013. It was revealed in 2014 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the F1 GTR, a car that saw great racing success in the 1990s.

Its basic structure utilises the carbon monocoque and styling based on the P1, but the aerodynamics have been greatly improved, with a larger front splitter and side skirts combined with a massive rear wing. The chassis is also specifically set up for track use.

The combination of the midship mounted, twin turbocharged 3.8L V8 and electric motors produced a total of 903 BHP with 726 BHP + 176 BHP respectively in the P1, but in the GTR the total output was increased to 986 BHP.

It was announced that the prerequisite for the purchase of the P1 GTR was the ownership of the P1 roadcar, and the production run was said to be 30-35 cars. The owner who purchased the car could participate in a circuit driving program hosted by McLaren, and its 1.9 million GBP price tag included maintenance and logistics for this program.

Brand Central (GT7)[]

The McLaren GTR needs little introduction. The F1 GTR captured petrolheads' hearts when it took Le Mans by storm in 1995... And the P1 GTR was developed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of that legendary victory. As you might expect, it's based on the P1—a hybrid supercar. It's a pure-bred circuit-racing machine, topping out in the 986.2 BHP region.

Trivia[]

  • In GT Sport, if the player uses the voucher code given out during the 2019 Gran Turismo World Tour - New York weekend, the car is treated as if the car was purchased from the PlayStation Store rather than Brand Central.
  • This car, the Ferrari 512BB '76, the Renault Sport Mégane R.S. Trophy Safety Car and the Toyota Crown Athlete G Safety Car (and in GT7, the BMW McLaren F1 GTR Race Car '97) are the only non-Gr.4/Gr.3 cars that can have the light covers changed. In case of the P1 GTR, the effects are the same as in with Gr.4 and Gr.3 cars.
  • In GT7, unlike its real-life competitor, Ferrari FXX K '14, no invitation is required to purchase the car, although the P1 GTR is also originally an invite-only model reserved for P1 owners in real life.
  • In GT Sport, the top speed of the car can exceed around 420km/h, without the DRS system. This was corrected in GT7 where the top speed of the car has been toned down to around 350km/h.
