Lanzante has
released the first pictures of the P1 GT. Set to debut at the Goodwood
Festival of Speed, the P1 GT is a beautiful hypercar that features a dark green
exterior with a prominent carbon fiber front splitter. The car has also been
equipped with additional vents, a larger roof-mounted intake and a massive rear
wing. Other changes include the addition of a four-tailpipe exhaust system and
a modified rear diffuser.
Moving into the cabin, we can see a unique carbon
fiber steering wheel with green leather grips. Additional changes are hard to
spot but the GT has two-tone seats, green door pulls and a special badge on the
driver’s side.
The GT appears to be based on the P1 GTR which
featured a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine with 789 hp. The
car was also equipped with a lightweight electric motor that contributed an
additional 197 hp. This setup gave the GTR a combined output
of 986 hp.
It remains unclear if Lanzante has modified the
engine, but the P1 GT could be significantly lighter than the standard model.
The company’s P1 LM weighed 59 kg less than the GTR thanks to a
number of weight saving measures including removing the air-jack system and
replacing the glass windows with lighter polycarbonate units.
While a lot of questions remain, Autocar is
reporting the P1 GT draws inspiration from the McLaren F1 GT Longtail and was
commissioned by a customer who resides in the Middle East.
