Gotham Black McLaren P1 from Taiwan

McLaren’s dealership in Taiwan has just taken delivery of one of the most unique examples of the P1 hyper car. The Gotham Black McLaren P1, as it’s called, features a deep black paint job garnished with glossy carbon parts and matte gold wheels.

It may not be as striking as some of the other P1s we’ve seen so far, such as this crazy purple one, but Gotham Black McLaren P1 is undoubtedly one of the classiest versions of the car we have come across. The car is currently residing at McLaren Taiwan showroom,  waiting for its owner to come and collect it, where it is joined by a limited edition, Asia-only McLaren 625C.

McLaren P1 Technical Highlights:

-Aero-led design produces more downforce than any other production road car

-Active ride height, and aerodynamics work with large adjustable rear wing to give ground effect suction and optimised downforce
-IPAS (Instant Power Assist System) and DRS (Drag Reduction System) offer instant boost of power and straight-line speed
