We've had several chances to get up close (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/24/mclaren-shows-production-p1-at-private-nyc-shindig-details-smal/) and personal (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/01/18/mclaren-shows-p1-at-private-event-in-beverly-hills-reveals-more/) with the McLaren P1 (http://autoblog.com/tag/p1) since its debut back in September (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/27/mclaren-p1-concept-paris-2012/) at the Paris Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/paris-motor-show/), but McLaren (http://www.autoblog.com/mclaren/) has literally kept us in the dark about the car's interior thanks to a heavy tint covering all of its windows. With the company preparing the car for its production debut next month at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/geneva-motor-show/), we're finally getting our first look inside the car courtesy of a few official images.
Opening up the P1's butterfly doors reveals an interior that was designed to be as close to a racecar as possible, so the lack of amenities and the amount of exposed carbon fiber inside the car are not surprising. From the fixed driver's seat, which is custom to each buyer and weighs just 23 pounds, the car definitely looks the part of a street-legal racecar with features such as the Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, reconfigurable digital gauge cluster (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/06/mclaren-previews-p1s-digital-dashboard/) and a carbon fiber waterfall center stack with navigation, audio system and HVAC controls. The long windshield and panoramic roof are meant to give the P1's cabin a feel similar to the cockpit of a fighter jet.
There's only a few more weeks to wait to see the car in its full glory, but until then, enjoy the new pictures from McLaren and scroll down (http://www.motorgen.com/2013/02/12/mclaren-reveals-p1-interior-shots/#continued) for an official press release on the car's interior.Continue reading McLaren reveals P1 interior shots (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/12/mclaren-reveals-p1-interior-shots/)
