It is bad in person. Will post pics when I get back home. My phone sucks lol

Wow

What an epic weekend! Haven't had this much fun in a looooonnng time but here are just a few pics I snapped with my cell phone. Snapped a ton more with my DSLR that I will post tomorrow.

The 650 Spirit was very nice but the P1 GTR was insanity. To me it isn't much different than the P1 besides the huge rear wing, exhaust pipes, and aerodynamic kit but what was very impressive was the Henessey Venom GT. That thing is in a whole different level and hearing is just a beautiful sound.

Threw in the 918 because it's the 918 lol

Edit: Video from Shmee. Cost is 2 million pounds from what he said and it puts down 986 bhp.

Note to self: get rich immediately.

How much were the tix?

$275 but I was able to get them for $200 a few days before from someone else.

 

[Sinner]

Yeah, I heard they were pricey, but given the selection of cars, I guess I'd gladly pay $275.

P1 GTR costs $3.2 million and only 375 copies of the will be made. It's not even street legal!

The McLaren P1 is insanely fast. In fact, with a top speed of 217 mph, the P1 is one fastest cars money can buy.

But McLaren is not a company to rest on its laurels. They've decided to make the P1 faster, more powerful, and much, much more expensive by building the P1 GTR. In an interesting twist, the GTR will only be available to the 375 very wealthy and very lucky individuals who own the original P1 street car.

When I say much more expensive, I mean $2 million more expensive. While a run-of-the-mill P1 came with a price tag of roughly $1.2 million, the GTR will require the buyer to write a $3.2 million check.

The P1 GTR is the latest in a recent wave of track-ready hypercars, such as the Ferrari FXX, Ferrari 599XX, and Pagani Zonda R. Like others in this segment, the GTR will not be street legal. Instead it will be constructed purely for track-based fun.

20th Anniversary McLaren F1 Parade Looks Set For 2015 Le Mans Race Day

on 25/10/2014 00:26 in Latest News, Le Mans News


The 2015 Le Mans 24 Hours will mark 20 years since the historic win on its debut by the Mclaren F1 GTR.

To celebrate DSC can confirm that there are moves afoot to gather as many of the 28 racing McLaren F1s together as possible for an on-track parade headed by the new and soon to be (properly) revealed McLaren P1 GTR.

Harrods-McLaren-Le-Mans-1995

Nine race cars cars were produced in 1995 with a further nine upgraded cars the following year before the rapid development in the GT1 class saw it necessary to produce a much more radical restyle in 1997, the ‘Longtail’ of which 10 were built.

Not all of the cars are understood to be available but plans currently should see more than 20 cars gathering, including the race cars now converted for road use.

What the **** am I doing with my life

 

[eiddyfouw]

I am absolutely in love with Ferrari's design's. Really the 458 to me is just perfect, the F12 looks stunning and I would even gladly buy a California one day.

But that P1.... To me has to be one of the best looking cars of all time. Everything about it's design just looks flawless. They got the perfect blend of aggressive design and subtlety so it still taps into the little boy inside your brain wanting a crazy car, but still tame enough to mature very well with age.

The gulf livery

One of my favorite liveries ever, goes with almost any car.

Pacific Blue P1. From what I understand this is a special MSO paint and you can see it change colours in the light from blue to pink to purple. IMO this is the best paint as of yet. I still have some pics I need to resize but the colour is glorious!

The one I posted is "Pacific Blue."

The one you're thinking about belongs to C.J. Wilson of the Anaheim Angels. His MSO color is called Cereberus Pearl and it has a similar chameleon effect, except it also has orange and gold hues and less of that striking blue tone you see above.

Here's CJ's cereberus pearl:
