VIDEO: McLaren P1 on ice – tested to the extremes

McLaren is leaving no stone unturned in its quest to make the P1 the ‘best driver’s car in the world’. They are seen here testing the 916 hp hybrid hypercar on the dramatic frozen landscapes of the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden.

We’ve witnessed the McLaren P1 tested on track by Sergio Perez before, the car there sitting much lower to the ground than it is here on snow. That’s McLaren’s RaceActive Chassis Control (RCC) system working (or should we say Woking?) its magic.

Whether or not any of the 375 McLaren P1 owners will be executing elegant pirouettes in snow when their €1 million cars are delivered in a few months’ time, nobody knows, but we guess it’s good to know that they could. Plus, having a ‘Snow’ mode in a supercar is rather cool, don’t you think?

Preferring to drive cars rather than desks, Hafriz Shah ditched his suit and tie to join the ranks of Malaysia’s motoring hacks. A car’s technical brilliance is completely lost on him, appreciating character-making quirks more. When not writing this ego trip of a bio, he’s usually off driving about aimlessly, preferably in a car with the right combination of three foot pedals and six gears.
