Title: McLaren P1
Post by: Rods2 on 26 February 2013, 16:45:57

A snip at £866,000 but you had better get your order in quickly as only 375 are being made.

0-62 in under 3 seconds, 0-124 in under 7 seconds and a top speed of 217mph.

I would love to see one of these in action over a standing 1/4 mile against the current fastest accelerating production bike the Kawasaki ZZR1400.

Stunning!

Surely it would beat any bike due to traction off the line?  :-\

Nope.Most 1 litresports bikes should be sub 3 seconds 0-60 afaik,and they have TC nowadays,so traction shouldnt be a problem.

And being a fat bastard, I stand a chance of keeping the front reasonably controlled if I lean forward a bit ;D
