The Daytona Group is offering Joe Public the opportunity to see the car in action at Kyalami on October 11 with a contingent from McLaren UK out with their chief test driver, Chris Goodwin. He will be lapping Kyalami racetrack on October 11. MP4-12C and 650s owners will also be enjoying the full performance of their vehicles on the track – making this the most McLarens in one place at one time.

The McLaren P1 uses an innovative IPAS petrol-electric powertrain comprising a substantially revised 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol and a single electric motor, collectively known as M838TQ. Combined power output is 664kW.

Top speed is electronically limited to 350km/h, with 0-100km/h acceleration taking less than three second. The McLaren P1 will power from rest to 200 km/h in less than seven seconds, and on to 300km/h in less than 17 seconds.

That, McLaren told us, is five seconds quicker than the McLaren F1. Oh, and just when you thought we'd forgotten, you'll need R21-million to own one.
 
I believe I have seen this very P1 in Gordon's Bay strolling down the Beach Road earlier this year, though it is Orange/Yellow'ish and not the same black one as in the article pic.

I'm guessing that price includes full cost of ownership. No services for your account and probably fly out a mechanic should you ever need one.

Probably the usual affair of getting a private mechanic if you go to track days etc.
 
Anyone got any info on the p1 Lap at kyalami this weekend? time of event, entrance fee etc.. ?
 
One car on the track?
Waste of time, why not have the 918 and La Ferrari there too?

I have no idea how many McLarens, but more than one. Plus I'm hoping to see an F1 in real life!
 
I'll pop through anyhow and check it out
