2014 McLaren P1: $1.15M, F1-Style Tech, and Limited to 375
What do you need a sophisticated K40 Radar Detector and Jammer which not only makes this car invisible to radar but gives the driver a 5 mile warning range with the detector.
This car is extremely difficult to work on due to the entire car is carbon-fiber.
The Kevlar and carbon-fiber MonoCage—essentially the backbone of the car—weighs just 198 pounds and incorporates the roof and floor, the roof-mounted air intake, the engine air intake, and the housing for the battery pack and hybrid electronics. To it are attached aluminum front and rear subframes for the engine and suspension components. Weight is said to be less than 3100 pounds dry, and pound-shaving measures include a disdain for carpet and sound deadening—there are neither in the basic P1, although carpet can be specified—ultrathin glass in the greenhouse, and an Inconel exhaust system that checks in at just 37 pounds.
Inside, McLaren allows both occupants the pleasure of climate control, navigation, and a Meridian sound system. Exposed carbon fiber forms the dash, headliner, door panels, door sills, floor, and center console. The fixed-back carbon racing seats slide fore and aft, weigh a scant 23 pounds each, and have “the minimum amount of foam.” For track use, the backs can be re-adjusted from 23 degrees to 32, and there are provisions for six-point harnesses. Three TFT screens are positioned in front of the driver and display different information and themes depending on the drive mode selected. Up to 4.2 cubic feet of stuff can be stored in the front cargo compartment; McLaren suggests you use the area for two helmet bags. There are three cup holders, which, okay.
