McLaren P1 LM Is The King Of Nurburgring

British automaker McLaren has announced that the street-legal version of the track-only P1 GTR has set a Nurburgring lap time of 6 minutes 43.2 seconds. The Maclaren P1 LM has beaten the Lamborghini Huracan Performante's time of 6 minutes 52.01 seconds and also the previous record of 6 minutes 45.90 seconds set by NIO EP9. The McLaren P1 LM was equipped with specially designed tyres for the record lap. Pirelli developed a particular size and compound road legal Trofeo tyre for the car.

​​

The McLaren P1 LM is tuned by a British company Lanzante, which claimed victory at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans with the McLaren F1 GTR. The record lap was driven by Kenny Brack, who is known for his 1999 Indianapolis 500 victory. Previously, when Lamborghini Huracan set the fastest time, there were debates about the record lap. To avoid such situation, Maclaren stated that the car was taken back to the UK from Nurburgring.
Only five McLaren P1 LMs are manufactured, and all are sold. Watch the complete onboard video of the fastest lap set by Mclaren P1 LM.
