Track-Only Version of the McLaren P1 The McLaren P1 GTR, introduced in 2015, is a track-only hypercar based on the road-going McLaren P1, built for extreme performance on race circuits.
Increased Power Over the Standard P1 The P1 GTR’s hybrid powertrain combines a 3.8L twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor, producing 1,000 PS (986 hp)—an increase from the 903 hp of the standard P1.
Massive Rear Wing for Downforce The P1 GTR features a large fixed rear wing, which automatically adjusts, generating up to 660 kg (1,455 lbs) of downforce at high speeds.
Lightweight Design for Maximum Speed By removing road-legal components like airbags, a catalytic converter, and sound insulation, the P1 GTR weighs 50 kg (110 lbs) less than the standard P1.
Only 58 Units Were Produced McLaren limited production to just 58 units, making the P1 GTR an exclusive collector’s hypercar.
McLaren F1 GTR-Inspired Livery Many P1 GTRs were painted in legendary McLaren F1 GTR liveries, such as the yellow and green Harrods livery from the 1995 Le Mans-winning McLaren F1 GTR.
Race-Ready Handling with Lower Ride Height The P1 GTR sits 50 mm lower than the road-going P1, features a wider track, and includes race-tuned suspension, enhancing cornering ability on the track.
Exclusive McLaren P1 GTR Driver Program Owners of the P1 GTR were invited to join an exclusive McLaren racing program, receiving track training from professional racing drivers.
Converted Street-Legal Versions Exist Some P1 GTRs were converted to street-legal cars by Lanzante, a British engineering firm, allowing owners to drive them on public roads.
Successor to the P1 GTR: The McLaren Senna GTR After the P1 GTR, McLaren developed the Senna GTR, a more advanced, track-focused hypercar with even more downforce and a lighter chassis.

The McLaren P1 GTR is the ultimate track incarnation of the P1, a 986hp, unsilenced beast built for owners who thought the standard P1 was too tame. With only 58 units produced (including 5 prototypes), it’s rarer than a Koenigsegg and twice as brutal. Unlike the road car, the GTR has no hybrid system, a sequential gearbox, and enough downforce to defy physics.
1. Price Ranges (EUR, Mid-2024)
Track-Used Examples
High-Hour/Raced (50+ track days): €2.5M – €3.2M(Check for chassis stress, engine rebuilds, and logbook completeness.)
Well-Maintained (20–50 track days): €3.5M – €4.2M(Full McLaren Motorsport history is critical.)
Low-Use/Collector-Stored (<10 track days): €4.5M – €5.5M+(Unmodified, with full spares package.)
Special Cases
Lanzante Road-Legal Conversion: €6.0M – €7.5M+(Only ~35 exist—verify authenticity.)
Ex-McLaren Factory Car: €5.0M+(Provenance matters—some were development mules.)
2. Key Factors Affecting Value
✅ Racing History = Premium
Ex-Factory Test Car: +€500K
Famous Owner (e.g., Jay Kay, The Sultan of Brunei): +€1M+
✅ Spares Package = Essential
No spares? Deduct €300K+ (GTR-specific parts are unobtanium).
Original GTR Wheels/Bodywork: +€150K
✅ Track Hours Sensitivity
Every 5 track days reduce value by ~€100K–200K.
Over 100 hours? Demand proof of full engine/gearbox rebuild (€250K+).
⚠️ Critical Watch-Outs
Hidden chassis damage (carbon tub repairs exceed €500K).
Missing McLaren Motorsport logbooks = huge red flag.
Non-original engine mapping (tuned GTRs often blow up).
3. Where to Buy in the EU?
Official Channels:
McLaren Special Operations (MSO) (Woking, UK)
Lanzante (Official GTR road conversion experts)
Private/Auction Sales:
RM Sotheby’s/Gooding & Co (for low-mileage examples)
Hypercar Collector Groups (discretionary sales)
Pro Tip: Avoid non-Lanzante road conversions—they’re illegal in most EU countries and crash value.
4. Market Trends
📈 Elite Collector Demand
+15% annually since 2020 (now a "must-have" for hypercar garages).
Lanzante road-legals outperforming pure track cars.
⚠️ Trap Warning
"Cheap" sub-€3M cars usually need €1M+ in refurbishment.
Non-running GTRs are parts donors only (engine rebuild: €400K+).
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical:
Engine dyno test (should hit 986hp crank).
Gearbox/clutch wear (sequential rebuilds cost €120K).
📄 Paperwork:
Verify with McLaren Motorsport (clones exist!).
No liens (many GTRs were asset-backed).
Fun Fact: The P1 GTR’s exhaust is so loud (138dB) that most tracks ban it. Owners often bribe officials to let them run!
