The 2014 McLaren P1 spits fire

As it nears its production-spec debut, McLaren teases with more photos and video The McLaren P1 will debut in Geneva a little over a month from now. God willing, so will the Ferrari Enzo successor, which would make Geneva 2013 the best auto show ever, as the two sides passive-aggressively trash talk each other in their respective press conferences. Even if the Italians don't cooperate, the P1 will be a headline hog. McLaren knows this, and is keeping the hype fire stoked with a batch of fresh in-house "spy photos" (way to cut out the middleman, guys) and video of racetrack-pattern camouflaged "XP" development prototypes in action. The clip includes gratuitous slo-mo, lots of engine noise, maximum rear wing, and the eternally crowd-pleasing fire-spewing exhaust. Overall, 2013 is a bonanza for enthusiasts, who get new flagship hypercars from McLaren, Ferrari, and Porsche (the 918) in close proximity to each other. It's like the old days. Now go watch the video below. The hair on your arms will stand on end.
