The British bolide McLaren P1 is now thus also being fired by a hybrid drive following the German model sportscar Porsche 918 and the Italian diva Ferrari LaFerrari.

Can such a bolide actually still be improved upon? Jens Engelmann, the creative brain behind the exclusive tuning label German Special Customs, (GSC) is positive: “It can!”


German Special Customs presents a draft in Chemnitz under the title “Night Glow”, on what such an optical and technically re-sharpened McLaren P1 may look like! The exterior of the McLaren P1 “Night Glow” that is presented as preview, is trimmed by GSC once again, in the direction of car racing, using the company’s own aerodynamic kit. For instance, the spoiler blade protruding forward and the side blades on the newly designed front apron with LED daytime driving lights and large air inlets for cooling, the adjustable XXL rear wing and the roof air-scoop are thus classical insignia of full-blooded racing cars. 

To match this, German Special Customs also designed the side skirt and the rear diffuser in a clearly incisive manner and integrated air inlets into the rear side walls of the bodywork. The trapezoidal serial exhaust end-pipe of the P1 is replaced by German Special Customs with two round 100-millimeter end-pipes, which reminisces of the driving engine of a fighter jet. And the new GSC exhaust system does not only look good, it is also a decisive integral part of German Special Customs’ performance boost: More than 1,000 horse power is envisaged!
