Street-Legal McLaren P1 GTR Coming: Report
McLaren is supposedly bringing its most radical race car to the streets.
McLaren Special Operations is reportedly working on a street-legal P1 GTR model that will be limited to just 25 units and will be priced around $3 million.
Earlier this year, the British automaker debuted its P1 GTR, a lightweight track-only hypercar that weighs just 3,170 lbs and makes 1000 metric horses (986 hp). With a wider body than the standard production P1, the P1 GTR has enhanced aerodynamics that increase downforce by 10 percent.

The company hasn’t officially confirmed that a more powerful, but street-legal version of the P1 is coming. If the report proves true, you can expect McLaren to announce more details about the car closer to when it is ready for customers.
