Originally commissioned by Bruce Canepa—the accomplished racer whose company Canepa specializes in historic race car restoration, classic car sales and customizations—this 2016 P1 GTR is finished in a special order Canepa Green with contrasting McLaren Papaya Orange paintwork. It features an Alcantara-covered dash, instrument cluster, and window recess to reduce glare and comes with a McLaren passenger seat with a full harness. The changes over the road-legal P1 are numerous but highlights include an F1 ERS-style push-to-pass system, bespoke titanium exhaust system, 19-inch center-locking motorsport wheels, an onboard jacking system as used on the 650S GT3 race car and a video telemetry system.
The P1 GTR shares its 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 with the P1 but it has been reprofiled to deliver a combined 986hp (up 83hp), which makes it the most powerful supercar McLaren has yet built. It is currently available to buy on Canepa’s own site and has a mere 120-miles on its odometer, none of which has been on a track. What you have here then is a one-off version of an already extremely limited-edition supercar in as-new condition. The original asking price of a P1 GTR before customizations ranged between $1.7 million and $2.5 million, depending on whether owners wanted to compete in a worldwide P1 GTR track day series. Canepa does not list a price for their car but it is quite likely to eclipse those figures by some margin.
