The Original: McLaren P1 GTR
The McLaren P1 GTR is a truly impressive vehicle that was originally unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2015. This icon is the result of the continuous efforts of Frank Stephenson (designer) and Dan Parry-Williams (chief engineer), two brilliant minds behind the project. The McLaren P1 GTR was developed as a tribute to the success of its predecessor, the legendary McLaren F1 GTR, which redefined the standards for high-performance vehicles in the 90s. The hypercar is known for its performance and key specifications, including a 3.8-liter V8 twin-turbo engine producing 800 horsepower combined with an electric motor delivering an additional 200 horsepower. The total output reaches an impressive 1000 horsepower, enabling acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds. The production phase of the original generation of the P1 took place from 2013 to 2015 and produced a limited number of only 375 units. The powertrain of the McLaren P1 GTR ensures that the vehicle is ready to deliver dominant performance on any race track.
The Miniature: Precision in 1/18 Scale by Almost Real
The model you see is a 1/18 scale miniature of the McLaren P1 GTR created by Almost Real. The craftsmanship of this 1/18 scale model is a true masterpiece and has been executed with the utmost precision to replicate reality. Crafted from high-quality die-cast material, this replica showcases meticulous detailing and durability. In the collection of Modelly member "Ram," this model embodies the essence of the McLaren P1 GTR in miniature size. In the photos, the numerous details are visible, such as the intricately designed rear section with the imposing rear wing and distinctive twin exhaust pipes. The elegant lines and curves of the original have been accurately replicated. The striking paint scheme with black, red, blue, and yellow accents along with the race decals emphasize the sporty nature of this model, giving it a sense of authenticity.
Interesting Facts and Technical Specifications of the McLaren P1 GTR
A particularly fascinating detail of the McLaren P1 GTR is its lightweight structure mainly composed of carbon fiber, resulting in a weight of approximately 1,490 kg (3,285 pounds). The drag coefficient (Cd value) is only 0.34 due to its aerodynamic efficiency. This is supported by an active rear wing and active aero package that automatically adjusts at higher speeds to maximize downforce and minimize drag. The vehicle also features a hydraulic suspension system that allows it to adjust the ride height as needed. The original's wheels are slick tires specially developed by Pirelli to provide maximum grip. The interior of the vehicle is stripped down to the essentials yet offers high-tech features such as a digital dashboard and a full-fledged race-spec telemetry system. A rare feature compared to other sports cars is the ability to switch the P1 GTR into full electric mode, though this is rarely used unless the driver is in the pit lane.
Details of the Miniature and Other Visible Features
The Almost Real model of the McLaren P1 GTR is a true collector's gem. The eye-catching paint job of the 1/18 scale model is an exact replica of the original livery, capturing all details such as the placement of sponsor decals and colors of the racing stripes (yellow, red, blue, and black tones) perfectly. In the photos, it can be seen that even the smallest details like the ventilation slits, wheel hubs, and mirrors of the model are faithfully reproduced. The tires also appear to be precise miniaturized versions of the original Pirelli rubber, further highlighting the authenticity. Ram's collection is definitely enriched by this model, representing a remarkable replica of one of the most impressive racing cars in the world. The quality and precision of this die-cast miniature make it a valuable collectible for enthusiasts worldwide.
