Transmitting about 7-speed dual clutch, McLaren P1 is different from its predecessor and does not have the usual three seat layout.

Analyzing McLaren P1 Features
Let us consider the body structure and related factors now. From headlights to the roof structure I am impressed. The design of headlights is quite like the shape of McLaren logo and the car can be drove in three ways. These include either operating it with the electric motor, petrol engine or (as called hybrid) with both of them. Controlled by a powerful IPAS (Instant Power Assist System) this could boost the DRS (Drag Reduction System) that further handles the rear wing of the car. These two remarkable systems are managed by two buttons on the steering wheel. Talking about the battery, you see it has a 324-cell lithium-ion high density battery pack. It is developed by Johnson Matthey Battery Systems which facilitates you with full charging in just 2 hours. With racing characteristics the car is also benefitted with carbon-ceramic brakes from Akebono and custom-made Pirelli P- Zero Corsa tiers. This could be understood by the point that it will take 6.2 seconds to brake from 186 mph (299 km/h). Commendable!
Furthermore, the safety cage roof structure is developed by following the concept of MonoCage and gives prolific look to the car with stylish opening car doors.
