The McLaren P1 has been out of production<\/a> for several years, but British motorsport and engineering firm Lanzante continues to build new versions of the plug-in hybrid hypercar from existing cars. The latest is a limited-edition P1 Spider, which debuts at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed.<\/p>\n

To ensure that removing the roof didn’t upset the lines of the car, Lanzante brought in Paul Howse, who worked on the P1 coupe<\/a>, to oversee the Spider. Eliminating the roof also meant deleting the central snorkel air intake, which required an engineering workaround, Lanzante said in a press release.<\/p>\n

New buttresses house air intakes that channel air to the turbochargers. The P1 Spider also gets some tweaks to its front fenders, doors, and engine cover, along with a reengineered lower chassis to maintain structural rigidity without the roof.<\/p>\n

The P1 Spider has a removable roof panel rather than a retractable roof. To protect the interior, Lanzante reupholstered everything in UV-resistant leather and SuperFabric, with satin carbon-fiber trim and gloss-black switchgear.<\/p>\n

The powertrain is unchanged from the stock P1. A twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-8 and an electric motor produce a combined 903 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Lanzante hasn’t disclosed performance figures for the Spider, but when new McLaren quoted a 2.8-second 0-62 mph time and 217-mph top speed for the coupe.<\/p>\n

Lanzante plans to build just five P1 Spiders, each from an existing donor car. It expects to deliver the first car before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

The P1 Spider is the latest in a long line of P1 derivatives from Lanzante. It previously rolled out the P1 LM<\/a>, P1 GT Longtail<\/a>, and P1 GTR-18<\/a>\u2014all based on the P1 GTR. The company’s ties to McLaren go back even further. Lanzante fielded the F1 GTR that won the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans<\/a>, in fact.<\/p>\n
