    personally I think if the the claimed time is right it's on slicks not on road legal tires.
    but still it's extremely fast.

    according to jalopnik mclaren responded:

    "McLaren has responded to claims that the P1 made it around the Nurburgring in 6:33. Apparently that is their goal. "


    Wow that is a big figger to stuttgart & maranello but they still have to do it.

    No way I'm believing a 6:33 time before I actually see the incar video and use my own stop watch. No way.

    If they actually pull it off that time will stand there for a decade at least...

    Well, you don't have to...Mclaren quote from the link in response to the image:

    "The image in question was included on a slide which was part of a mood board to inspire the design team for the McLaren P1™, and not the engineers, who are working to a target time of ‘merely’ sub-7 minutes."

    People who claim to be journalists and don't bother to research something before rushing to publish it.

    When McLaren have a Ring time to promote they'll be doing so via press release.

    McLaren told me they would be close to our 6:51 on road legal tires. I believe that. I don't see 6:33.86.

    I still think P1 will be faster than La Ferrari around the Ring.

    You might want to compare the two again - mirrors are not generally known for their ability to flip something upside down.

    Hopefully not a dead battery with all those batteries in the car :)

    The P1 has a traditional battery separate of the battery pack that provides motive power which did indeed go flat after an entire day of demonstrations at Villa d'Este. If the standard battery is the same type as what they supply in the 12Cs it is a 6V Lithium Ion. Some of the mobile packs to jump start a car don't provide the proper voltage to overcome that. Hardly a story but let everyone tell it in the typical "OMG!!" fashion.

    Yet, I´d bet that these hybrid cars are going to spend a lot of time at the shop due electronic glitches.

    And that´s when they´re new, just wait till they become classic.

    I think this is VERY true. We're putting in systems that can link with our Engineers from anywhere in the world and they can remotely adjust all of our systems. We've also cut down our KERS capacity to 50HP and reduced our batter pack and increased cooling to it.

    A very important part is our computer charging system that we'll always leave plugged in when the car is resting. It runs the system through cycles to keep the batteries in good shape.

    When you work on KERS Systems make sure the car has a GOOD ground to earth.

    I can't imagine how terrible of an environmental impact all these battery packs are going to have on the environment.

    I type this comment on a computer using a crapped out lithium battery pack that I have to keep constantly plugged in now, and this is the second battery pack... Both lasted about a year and that's with me doing all what's said to do with lithium batteries. I did my best to never let it discharge fully, left it charged for 24 hours when I first got it, and always plugged it in at 50%. I can only hope that battery tech (which is not a new tech by any means) can be improved.
