Because the standard McLaren P1 hyperbeast may not be powerful enough for some, with just 890 horsepower, the McLaren P1 GTR is coming. This rendering has emerged of the new sibling, looking somewhat similar to the Lamborghini Veneno from her rear. It looks like McLaren is gearing up to dazzle yet again this year, showing no signs of slowing to a stop in the new products department.

The rumor is that this is the rendering of the McLaren P1 GTR that was sent to current P1 owners. They will be the only people permitted to place an order for one. 

The McLaren P1 GTR will be a track-only variant of the supercar, of course, pushing forth 986 horses from her stable while turning heads in the looks department it seems. The company will only build the GTR for existing P1 owners, making it a very exclusive lady. Ferrari did something similar for its precious LaFerrari, with an entire set of rules for potential applicants, including the prerequisite of owning several other Ferrari cars.

Based on the rendering of the McLaren P1 GTR, she will possess an enormous wing and diffuser. Drivers can expect wicked downforce and a permanent grin. Above is the Lamborghini Veneno, which also made headlines with her aggressive appearance.

The standard McLaren P1 car is nothing to scoff at–packing a blood-thirsty 3.8-liter V8 mated to a 7-speed automated transmission with a cool manual mode. Pricing for the standard is just over a million, and the GTR version is anticipated to begin at $3.4 million USD. Word is that the official debut could occur at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance next month…we certainly hope so!

I do not expect the front to change too much for the GTR version.
