This is the McLaren P1, a hypercar from 2014 that's as rare as a diamond in a haystack. With over 900 horsepower under the hood, this beast can hit 0 to 60 in just 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 220 mph. Only 375 of these exist in the world, making it more exclusive than a private club on Mars. Doug DeMuro takes us through the quirks and features of this special P1 that's currently up for auction on Cars and Bids.

The P1 is part of the legendary Holy Trinity of hypercars, alongside the Porsche 918 Spyder and the LaFerrari. McLaren's creation stands out not only for its performance but also for its unique design and engineering. From the unconventional door opening mechanism to the intricate controls within the cockpit-like interior, every detail exudes exclusivity and high performance. The carbon fiber accents throughout the car not only look cool but also serve a crucial purpose in reducing weight for optimal performance.

Inside the P1, you'll find a driver-focused layout with controls angled towards the driver for easy reach. The steering wheel features buttons for extra power boosts and drag reduction, adding a touch of race car technology to the driving experience. Despite its hypercar status, some interior controls are surprisingly standard, like the dome lights and rearview mirror. The infotainment system, while functional, shows its age compared to newer models, but it still gets the job done. The McLaren P1 is a true masterpiece of automotive engineering, combining raw power with exquisite design in a package that's as rare as it is exhilarating.
