It comes as no surprise that one of the most successful racing teams turned automaker would break several production car performance records. Another video demonstrates a McLaren P1 LM smash the Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb record for road lawful autos.
Resigned Swedish racer Kenny Brack finished the course in 47.07 seconds in the hybrid hypercar amid the 2016 Festival of Speed Supercar Shootout.
The McLaren P1-LM is based on the track-only McLaren P1 GTR and modified by Lanzante Motorsports for street-legal status. Power for the McLaren P1 GTR comes from the automaker's 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor. In the P1 GTR, the combo makes 986 hp or 82 hp more than in the standard P1. Other performance enhancing bits include a wider track with racing slicks as well as revised aerodynamics and more downforce.
While no details have been revealed in the transformation from the track only P1 GTR to the street-legal P1 LM, Lanzante Motorsports will only convert five examples. The P1 GTR and P1 LM suffixes are throwbacks to the legendary McLaren F1 GTR and McLaren F1 LM cars.
