McLaren P1

One of the new additions to the McLaren family is the McLaren P1. The P1 is a plug-in hybrid supercar. It's supposed to be the long awaited predecessor to the McLaren F1.

The P1 has a 3.8L twin turbocharged V8, pushing out 727HP, allowing it to compete with the new LaFerrari and Lamborghini Veneno. It also has an electric motor pushing out 176HP. Combined the two motors give the P1 and incredible 903HP. Very impressive for a street legal production car don't you think? 

The styling of it makes it one of the most beautiful cars to look at. With the front very nicely rounded, the hood scoops beautifully placed and the accent on the door being a very creative design choice, it makes this one of the nicest looking cars on the road. 

When released for production in 2012, the entire collection of 375 P1's was sold out by 2013. With a giant price tag of $1.15 million dollars, it's not a car you just decide to buy one day. The price is comparable to the new Pagani Huayra and a fraction less than the counterpart's from Ferrari and Lamborghini.
