McLaren P1™ vs. the Nürburgring-Nordschleife

What is it that brings us back here? What drives us to go faster, push harder and brake later? Just to lap the Nordschleife in under 7 minutes....

Watching this again now in 2023. Still an amazing video. One of my all time favorite cars.

[@budja1501]

The P1 for me is probably my favorite supercar ever. A few come close, but none surpass it. Everything about the car is as perfect as it gets for me. I’ve been studying car design for almost a year now and I still can hardly find a way to make the car more beautiful than it is. Form = function = beauty

Even though no one knows if it beat the 918 for sure as it is an unofficial record, it is certainly one of the most beautiful hypercars ever, along with the koenigsegg.

[@umamaheswar7783]

Lap time?

[@TuddecBMW]

The only reason why you wouldn't tell us the exact lap time is because it's not as fast as the 918. It really doesn't take a genius to figure that out, so why don't you grow a pair and tell us?

[@Olabruh]

no he's not, its's actually proof, i dind't follow the link, i have an account there, their tight lipped because they know ferrari will lie and say their faster

[@CannibalSoggoth]

the P1 is faster, but the 918 made a better time because it handles way better still I'd take the P1 over the 918 or La Ferrari anyday

[@hello-xh9of]

Vore I support you.mclaren best of the best!

[@zianplay619]

Its so fun to watch these buttheart mclaren fanboys or british, still crying p1 have set faster record over 918 by 10 seconds. And crying "dont want others to know how good engineering skills they have". What a comedy lol. People who are claiming that p1 is faster by 10 seconds must be a bonehead who cant even do the simple math. 10 second difference in sub 7 min record means those two cars are on a different level. But the fact is, P1 never won over 918 on various circuit battles that were held by same pro driver on a same day. Only 'british' medias such as evo and chris harris claimed p1 is faster.( Not even pro drivers) . The lap time from evo was unfair as hell becasue p1 was beaten by 918 on the same day and mclaren sent another sets of tires and made an another session on the other day and claimed p1 is faster. What a coward. They did this kind of shit again on motor trend, changing several sets of tires again and again, ended up failing to beat the first record. Salomondrin have prepeared 918 and p1 battle 2 times and guess what? p1 was wrecked both times. 918 had a chance to fit trofeo R on second time and this made the gap bigger. Also the nurburgring had road work recently, and this made the cars to set faster lap times. Facelifted Porsche 911 GT3 had setted a record that was 12 seconds faster than the model before which was only 25hp less. This proves that its really easy to set the faster records after a construction and P1 LM recently setted 6min 43 secs. This tells how dumb the people who claimed P1 have set 6min 47 before the construction. Strill crying p1 is faster? Open your eyes and be prepared to accept the facts

[@garydeandeery]

Tuddec I was told they never had a full lap run and others in the factory say the same there was a speed limit on because road repairs and noise too but not sure how true

[@garydeandeery]

Still no time told we know the p1 gtr LM time now so what about this run
