McLaren P1 Electric Traction And Charging Capacities
The McLaren P1 is capable of driving exclusively on electric traction, but a full charge of the batteries is enough for only about 6 miles of movement. The batteries can also spend their full charge almost instantly in cases when maximum acceleration is required.
But they restore their working capacity quickly enough. If charging is done at a special station, it will take a little more than 10 minutes, and from a household station, no more than two hours. They are also recharged while driving and during regenerative braking.
The McLaren F1 is a production supercar made by the British car company McLaren Automotive, which was created in 1989 to produce cars based on Formula 1 racing cars but suitable for everyday use. McLaren Automotive, together with the Formula 1 and McLaren Honda teams, is part of the McLaren Group, created back in 1963 by Ron Dennis.
McLaren P1 has carbon-ceramic disc brakes developed by Akebono. The light-alloy wheels (19-inch front, 20-inch rear) are fitted with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires.
There are no forecasts for the cost of the supercaFirst Customer-Registered McLaren P1 Going To Auctionr, but it will most likely sell for more than it costs new (prices started from about a million dollars). Bidding will be held on May 22.
