Just hours ahead of the official reveal of the McLaren P1 supercar we have a new set of photo showing more of the P1.
[nggallery id=1242 template=customlinks]
We’ll have to wait until tomorrow for any technical details of what McLaren has put under the skin of the P1, but we do now have far more P1 photos to make a judgement on how it looks.
The first three photos showed us the backend, side view and front three quarters of the P1, but now we get to see the P1 in almost all its glory in these new photos.
There’s a clear view of the P1’s extensive use of visible carbon fibre, the dramatic tail – far more ‘supercar’ than the 12C – and the first view of the huge rear wing / air brake.
We still don’t have any views of the P1’s interior – and it’s possible McLaren may not show it even at Paris – and we can’t see the evidence of active aerodynamic flaps, which is what we’;re expecting as McLaren aim to make the P1 the best handling car there is.
More on the McLaren P1 in the next day or so.

Insiders say the interior of P1 is done and signed off already and is featured complete in this styling model, but yes – the doors are expected to be kept closed in Paris and there’s no plan to release images of that area of the car or the engine compartment and mechanical bits yet.
It will be the longest tease ever if they stretch this out to Geneva in the Spring as some who have seen the car already have suggested is the current plan.
