Been reading up on the McLaren P1 supercar.
The attention to detail inside the cabin is evidence of the lengths the company’s
engineers have gone to. It’s all about weight reduction so, for example, the
top layer of resin has been removed from the carbin fibre dashboard, leaving a non-lacquered
finish for a more natural look and a further 1.5kg which doesn’t need to be
counted. Another example is the amount of trim within the cabin – or the lack
of it – which leaves as many parts as possible exposed. There’s no interior
sound-deadening. Carpet is offered as an option, but even then is fitted with a
special lightweight backing. The P1 makes its debut at next week's Geneva Motor Show. Can't wait. Or perhaps that should be can't weight...
