McLaren created red-and-black version of P1

McLaren presented a special version of supercar P1. The car was created in the company MSO by request. The company did not disclose information about the customer. But the company has worked on the glory, and changed only the appearance and trim. The entire car is decorated in black and red that gives a very aggressive and beautiful design.
The heart of the car still remains a high-performance gasoline engine with the volume of 3.8-liter and electrical installation with the power of 170 HP, which in total gives 916 horsepower. Dispersal speed is 100 km/h in 2.5seconds and a top speed electronically limited around 350 km/h. Price for the special order is not public, but it is assumed that the price will be no less than 1 million Euros.

Mercedes-AMG will build a hyper-hybrid

Less than a year that the representatives of Mercedes-AMG GmbH changed their opinion on the need to create a luxury car, challenging the monsters such as McLaren P1. And in spite of the fact that before Tobias Mears, the Senior Manager of sports models of Daimler had negative opinion when he was asked about the flagship development, now he mentioned Porsche with its famous 918 Spyder: "we want the public to see us at the same level as the other German manufacturers of sports cars." For doubters, the head of the sub brand of the new mission clarified that the Mercedes-AMG will bring the racing technology on the public roads. The technical details are not known yet, but probably it will have a gasoline engine, leading rear axle, and two electric motors, rotating front wheels, and the combined impact of the power plant can exceed 1000 HP. 
Once again, Mears urged not to wait for the all-wheel drive version of the Coupe GT Mercedes-AMG.
