So someone on facebook spotted this P1, I didn't even know these existed in Alberta. Pretty cool imo.

Is it just me or does the car look like it's quite high?

Such a crazy car

Doesn't one of the Cardel brothers own one too? Pretty sure they had one at the quarry parks show.

Edit, went through my pictures. Was a 650s

Cool car though, good to see it actually being driven.

Love the car. Not digging the way the sun if reflecting. Purplish hue. Gross lol

Active ride. Roll, pitch control, and height are adjustable.

The McLaren P1™ has probably the most advanced suspension ever fitted to a road car. It has active ride, roll and pitch control, and is height adjustable. Lowering the car allows the McLaren P1™ to produce astonishing levels of ground effect suction, clamping it to the road. The advanced hydro-pneumatic RaceActive Chassis Control (RCC) gives major advantages in ride, handling and grip, and can be changed to suit the driver’s personal preferences. Damping is adaptive. As with the 12C, metal anti-roll bars – which invariably reduce ride quality and the car’s ability to ‘flow’ over the road – are redundant. There are four suspension settings. Normal, Sport and Track – selected by rotary control – ensure the ideal behaviour for comfortable cruising, dynamic road driving or track activity respectively. In Race mode, the McLaren P1™ becomes a fully focused racing car. Roll and heave stiffness are almost rock hard – the spring rates stiffen by 300 per cent – and ride height is now wafer thin. The car can corner at more than 2g. The McLaren P1™ has the same braking capability as a GT3 sports racing car, a step ahead of any super sports car sold today. Akebono, McLaren’s Formula 1™ and Automotive braking partner, developed bespoke carbon ceramic disc brakes, lighter and smaller than previous discs. Tyres are specially engineered by McLaren Automotive partner, Pirelli.

Pretty sure this is their P1 too. Been hearing about it for a while, must have finally arrived. Surprised they're throwing P1 money around with their whole mess with Revenue Canada right now. Really wish them luck in that battle. Getting on the wrong side of Revenue Canada blows. They're great people, put lots of money back in the community with their shows, RMR track project... really don't deserve to be taking it up the ass from RC.

The color is questionable but I love the P1!

Had a brief chat with this guy at a set of lights yesterday!

Nice guy, had his windows down, I complimented on the car, said thanks and threw a compliment back...

Nice to see him out driving it instead of letting it sit parked!
