Iħjut Il-mutur ta ' Ġinevra juri: McLaren P1-stampi u dettalji uffiċjali

Ibridu ġdid McLaren P1 biex joffri 903bhp, 218mph u 0-62mph f'inqas minn 3sec għal 866,000. McLarens jista 'jkun l-emblema ibrida P1, imħejji għad-debutt globali tiegħu f'Ġinevra l-ġimgħa d-dieħla, jidher li qed isir l-ewwel hypercar li qatt wettaq kif suppost fuq il-wegħda elużiva F1-for-the-road li l-manifatturi ilhom jagħmlu għall-karozzi tat-triq l-aktar mgħaġġla tagħhom għal aktar minn seklu kwart.
L-McLaren P1 mistenni jiġi żvelat miċ-Chairman eżekuttiv ta' McLaren Ron Dennis it-Tlieta li ġej filgħodu. Għandha l-enerġija enormi V8-plus-elettriku (903bhp) u l-prezz ultra-għoli (866,000) li inti tistenna mis-suċċessur spiritwali għall-McLaren F1 illustri tal-1993, iżda dak li verament jistabbilixxi l-P1 apparti huwa l-pakkett ajrudinamiku attiv tiegħu li jkisser l-art.
Waqt li twassal fattur ta 'drag ċumnanti ta' 0. 34 f'forma nadifa, il-P1 jista 'awtomatikament juża ġwienaħ immuntati fuq wara u żewġ flaps quddiem ir-roti ta' quddiem, f'modi ta 'sewqan xierqa, biex iwassal tali livelli bla preċedent ta' forza tat-triq għal karozza tat-triq li s-sewqan fil-fatt isir aktar faċli hekk kif il-karozza tmur aktar malajr.
Anke ferm inqas mill-veloċità ta 'fuq ta' 218mph tagħha, il-P1 jista 'jiġġenera 600kg ta' downforce, ammont ugwali għal ħafna tiġrijiet ta 'Le Mans u madwar ħames darbiet akbar minn dak ta' McLaren MP4-12C imniedi reċentement. Il-vantaġġ tagħha fuq ir-rivali mhux McLaren huwa saħansitra akbar.
Il-P1 huwa ddisinjat biex jinstaq għal ċirkwit tat-tlielaq b'livelli kbar ta 'kumdità u raffinament, qal id-direttur maniġerjali tal-Karozzi McLaren Antony Sheriff, u mbagħad jintuża fuq iċ-ċirkwit tat-tlielaq fejn se joffri esperjenza mqabbla biss minn karozzi tat-tlielaq mibnija apposta.
Il-P1 juża t-tub tax-xażi tal-karbonju kollu li nħoloq reċentement bħala l-bażi għall-McLarens kollha tal-era l-ġdida u mnedija bl-MP4-12C. F'referenza diretta oħra għall-F1, is-supercar il-ġdid għandu riċetta speċjali mrobbija fir-razza għal xi komponenti komposti — iddikjarat li hija d-doppju tal-azzar – li jiffurmaw il-korp/ix-xażi ewlieni tiegħu.
Din l-istruttura għandha relattivament ftit partijiet u tiżen biss 100kg, li, l-inġiniera McLaren jgħidu, hija eħfef minn kwalunkwe karozza oħra tat-triq filwaqt li twassal livelli F1 ta 'riġidità u sikurezza. Tifforma wkoll il-airbox tal-magna, snorkel tas-saqaf u s-saqaf innifsu, tipprovdi housings għall-batterija u l-elettronika tal-enerġija, u tifforma l-imżiewed tal-ġenb ajrudinamiċi li jitfgħu l-arja lis-sistema tat-tkessiħ tal-magni.
Il-P1 huwa 300mm itwal mill-F1 ta '20 sena iżda biss dell usa' u itwal mill-MP4-12C. Kontra l-kompatrijott l-aktar reċenti tiegħu, jikber 83mm (tliet pulzieri) — it-tul żejjed jgħin lill-pakkett ajru - u huwa 29mm (pulzier) aktar baxx u 37mm (1. 5 pulzieri) usa '. McLaren isostni li hija sostanzjalment iżgħar fiż-żona frontali mill-MP4-12C u jsostni li l-P1 huwa wkoll iżgħar fiż-żona minn kwalunkwe karozza sportiva oħra tal-produzzjoni.
Il-piż tal-bankina P1s huwa ammirevolment baxx għal supercar modern, f'1400kg, (Porsches 918 Spider huwa aktar simili 1700kg) iżda anke ma jistax jaqbel mal-F1, li kien jiżen biss 1140kg fil-bankina.
Is-sistema tal-motopropulsjoni P1 hija sħubija ibrida bejn verżjoni 727bhp ikkonfigurata apposta ta' McLarens 3. 8 litri ta' petrol B'żewġ turbo V8, u mutur elettriku mibni b'McLaren ta' 176bhp integrat miegħu permezz ta' blokka tal-aluminju fonduta apposta. Iż-żewġ unitajiet tal-enerġija jibagħtu d-903bhp ikkombinati tagħhom (b'664lb pied ta' torque) permezz ta' gearbox ta' Graziano b'seba' veloċitajiet.
Il-V8 iġorr in-numru tas-serje M838TQ speċjali tiegħu stess minħabba l-crankcase speċjali tiegħu u turbochargers akbar (flimkien ma 'tweaks uniċi oħra), li jgħinuh jipproduċi 20 fil-mija aktar enerġija minn 12C V8 regolari.
Il-prestazzjoni tal-biża 'hija mistennija, iżda l-marġni P1s kemm fuq il-piż tar-rix F1 kif ukoll fuq l-MP4-12C għadu jiġi bħala xokk. L-inġiniera McLaren għadhom qed jiddeċiedu l-figuri finali fi frazzjonijiet ta 'sekondi, iżda issa nafu li l-P1 huwa madwar 0. 4sec aktar malajr mit-12C sa 62mph, u mill-inqas 2. 5sec aktar malajr għal 124mph (200km / h).
Huwa jqaxxar ukoll seba 'jew tmien sekondi mit-12Cs 0-186mph (300km / h) fi triqtu lejn veloċità ta' fuq ta '218mph, li hija ftit qasira mill-uffiċjal tal-F1s 231mph.
L-għan tagħna mhuwiex neċessarjament li nkunu l-aktar mgħaġġla fil-veloċità assoluta ta 'fuq, qal Sheriff, iżda li tkun il-karozza tat-triq tal-produzzjoni tas-serje l-aktar mgħaġġla u ta' sodisfazzjon fuq ċirkwit. Dan huwa t-test veru ta 'kapaċità supercars kollha u dikjarazzjoni teknika ħafna aktar importanti.
Fin-naħa ta 'fuq tal-ispettru tal-prestazzjoni, il-P1 juża l-imbottatura istantanja tal-mutur elettriku tiegħu biex jagħti spinta lir-rispons tal-aċċelleratur, u l-applikazzjoni immedjata tat-torque negattiv tiegħu f'punti ta' gearshift, biex jgħin lill-magna tirrevedi qatra malajr, u tagħmel għal gearshifts aktar mgħaġġla u lixx taħt qawwa sħiħa. Off throttle, il-mutur elettriku jikkonverti għal ġeneratur tal-enerġija, li jipprovdi bbrejkjar tal-magna u riforniment tal-enerġija tal-batterija.
Fil-qiegħ tal-involukru tal-prestazzjoni, il-mutur elettriku jagħti lill-karozza prestazzjoni sorprendentement spritely waħedha, li tagħtiha firxa li toqrob 20km (madwar 12-il mil) b'veloċitajiet tat-traffiku u tagħmilha adattata għad-dinja li qed tikber numru ta 'żoni tat-traffiku b'emissjonijiet żero.
Il-P1 għandu tqassim tal-kabina tal-pilota orjentat lejn is-sewwieq, taħt kanupew ajrudinamiku ħafna, f'forma ta'bużżieqa li jitqabbel mal-ħallieqa tiegħu ma' dak ta' ġellied tal-ġett. Jew racer Le Mans.
Għalkemm l-istrumentazzjoni elettronika fiha l-essenzjali kollha u l-kabina għandha niket bħall-kontroll tal-klima, in-navigazzjoni bis-satellita u sistema tal-ħoss, it-tagħmir u l-switchgear tal-klassi jinżammu kemm jista' jkun u hemm arja ġenerali bla sens dwar il-pożizzjoni tas-sewqan, li hija individwalment konfigurabbli għal kull sid.
Il-bibien, li l-qxur ta' barra tagħhom huma kontributuri ewlenin għall-pakkett ajrudinamiku tal-P1s, jużaw l-istess sistema ta' ftuħ tad-diħedrali pijuniera mill-MP4-12C.
Iżda filwaqt li jenfasizzaw il-fokus serju tal-P1, is-sit u l-aġġustamenti tal-kolonna tal-istering huma manwali, is-serħan tad-dahar tas-sit huwa ffissat għal 28deg (bidla għal 32deg hija possibbli biex tiżdied l-ispazju ħieles tal-elmu) u l-qxur tas-sit tal-karbonju ultra-irqiq għandhom minimu ta' kuxxinett u jiżnu biss 10. 5kg biċċa.
Carbonfibre jintuża b'mod estensiv bħala materjal tat-trim (ikollok tapit biss jekk titlobha) u l-uċuħ tal-karbonju interni jitwaħħlu mingħajr saff ta 'fuq tar-reżina - għax jiffranka 1. 5kg. Hemm biss żewġ għażliet: ċarġer tal-batterija heavy-duty u sett ta 'bagalji mwaħħla.
Għall-ewwel, McLaren kellu l-intenzjoni li jibni 500 P1s, li jipprezza kull wieħed qrib it-866,000, iżda r-rappreżentazzjonijiet minn sidien potenzjali (allegatament aktar imħassba dwar l-esklużività mill-prezz jew mill-ogħla veloċità) ipperswadew lil Ron Dennis biex jibni biss 375 kopja.
McLaren P1 il-ġdid se jkun għall-bejgħ minn Marzu u l-kunsinni se jibdew qabel tmiem is-sena.

New hybrid McLaren P1 to offer 903bhp, 218mph and 0-62mph in under 3sec for 866,000. McLarens mighty P1 hybrid flagship, poised for its global debut in Geneva next week, looks like becoming the first hypercar ever to deliver properly on the elusive F1-for-the-road promise that manufacturers have been making for their fastest road cars for more than a quarter century.
The McLaren P1 is due to be unveiled by McLaren executive chairman Ron Dennis next Tuesday morning. It has the huge V8-plus-electric power (903bhp) and ultra-high price (866,000) that youd expect of the spiritual successor to the illustrious McLaren F1 of 1993, but what really sets the P1 apart is its ground-breaking active aerodynamics package.
While delivering a svelte drag factor of 0. 34 in clean form, the P1 can automatically deploy a rear-mounted wing and two flaps ahead of the front wheels, in appropriate driving modes, to deliver such unprecedented levels of downforce for a road car that driving actually gets easier as the car goes faster.
Even well short of its 218mph top speed, the P1 can generate 600kg of downforce, an amount equal to many Le Mans racers and about five times greater that of the recently launched McLaren MP4-12C. Its advantage over non-McLaren rivals is even greater.
The P1 is designed to be driven to a racing circuit with great levels of comfort and refinement, said McLaren Automotive managing director Antony Sheriff, and then to be used on the racing circuit where it will offer an experience matched only by purpose-built racing cars.
The P1 uses the all-carbon chassis tub recently created as the basis for all new-era McLarens and launched with the MP4-12C. In another direct reference to F1, the new supercar has a special, race-bred recipe for some composite components — claimed to be twice as stiff as steel — that form its core body/chassis.
This structure has relatively few parts and weighs only 100kg, which, McLaren engineers say, is lighter than any other road cars while delivering F1 levels of rigidity and safety. It also forms the engine airbox, roof snorkel and the roof itself, provides housings for the battery and power electronics, and shapes the aerodynamic side pods that feed air to the engines cooling system.
The P1 is 300mm longer than the 20-year-old F1 but only a shade wider and longer than the MP4-12C. Against its most recent compatriot, it grows 83mm (three inches) — the extra length aids the aero package — and it is 29mm (an inch) lower and 37mm (1. 5 inches) wider. McLaren claims substantially smaller frontal area than the MP4-12C and claims that the P1 is also smaller in area than any other production sports car.
The P1s kerb weight is admirably low for a modern supercar, at 1400kg, (Porsches 918 Spider is more like 1700kg) but even it cant match the F1, which weighed just 1140kg at the kerb.
The P1 powertrain is a hybrid partnership between a specially configured 727bhp version of McLarens 3. 8-litre twin-turbo petrol V8, and a 176bhp McLaren-built electric motor integrated with it via a specially cast aluminium block. The two power units send their combined 903bhp (with 664lb ft of torque) through a seven-speed twin-clutch Graziano gearbox.
The V8 carries its own special M838TQ serial number because of its special crankcase and larger turbochargers (plus other unique tweaks), which help it produce 20 per cent more power than a regular 12C V8.
Awesome performance is to be expected, but the P1s margin over both the featherweight F1 and the MP4-12C still comes as a shock. McLaren engineers are still deciding the final figures in fractions of seconds, but we now know that the P1 is about 0. 4sec faster than the 12C to 62mph, and at least 2. 5sec faster to 124mph (200km/h).
It also shaves seven or eight seconds off the 12Cs 0-186mph (300km/h) on its way to a 218mph top speed, which is a little short of the F1s official 231mph.
Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed, said Sheriff, but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit. This is the true test of a supercars all-round ability and a much more important technical statement.
At the top end of the performance spectrum, the P1 uses the instant thrust of its electric motor to boost throttle response, and the instant application of its negative torque at gearshift points, to help engine revs drop quickly, making for quicker and smoother gearshifts under full power. Off throttle, the electric motor converts to a power generator, providing engine braking and replenishing battery energy.
At the bottom of the performance envelope, the electric motor gives the car surprisingly spritely performance on its own, giving it a range approaching 20km (about 12 miles) at traffic speeds and making it suitable for the worlds growing number of zero-emissions traffic zones.
The P1 has a driver-oriented cockpit layout, under a highly aerodynamic, bubble-shaped canopy that is compared by its creators with that of a jet fighter. Or a Le Mans racer.
Although the electronic instrumentation features all the essentials and the cabin has niceties like climate control, satellite navigation and a classy sound system, equipment and switchgear are kept to a minimum and there is a general no-nonsense air about the driving position, which is individually configurable for every owner.
The doors, whose outer skins are major contributors to the P1s aerodynamic package, use the same dihedral opening system pioneered by the MP4-12C.
But underscoring the serious focus of the P1, the seat and steering column adjustments are manual, the seat backrests are fixed at 28deg (a change to 32deg is possible to increase helmet clearance) and the ultra-thin carbon seat shells have a minimum of padding and weigh just 10. 5kg apiece.
Carbonfibre is extensively used as a trim material (you only get carpet if you ask for it) and the interior carbon surfaces are fitted without a top layer of resin — because it saves 1. 5kg. There are just two options: a heavy-duty battery charger and a set of fitted luggage.
At first, McLaren intended to build 500 P1s, pricing each one close to 866,000, but representations from potential owners (reportedly more concerned about exclusivity than price or top speed) has persuaded Ron Dennis to build just 375 copies.
The new McLaren P1 will be on sale from March and deliveries will begin before the end of the year.
