After becoming the fastest road car ever to run up
the Goodwood Hill, the McLaren P1 LM has just added another big notch to its
belt.
This XP1LM prototype is said to be identical to all
five P1 LM production cars ever built, which is why we should take note of its
amazing achievement at the Nordschleife.
After the XP1LM managed to set a new lap record of
6.43.2, it drove directly from the Nurburgring back home in the UK. This
project represents only the latest collaboration between Lanzante Motorsport
and former Indy 500 winner Kenny Brack. The project was also backed by McLaren
and Pirelli, with the latter constructing a specific size and compound road
legal Trofeo R tire for the P1 LM.
To put this achievement into perspective, we will
remind you that the Huracan Performante turned heads with its 'Ring time of 6
min and 52 seconds set last year, whereas the lightning-quick NIO EP9 did a
6:45.9 - slower than the P1 LM by a little over 2 and a half seconds.
