McLaren P1 GTR track monster revealed at Pebble Beach

The McLaren P1 GTR track monster is revealed at Pebble Beach McLaren has taken the covers of the McLaren P1 GTR at Pebble Beach (after a tease last month) to demonstrate its design and intent ahead of production in 2015, and it certainly seems to tick all the boxes.

But we’ve never had a sensible answer.
