Tired of having a McLaren P1 like all the others? Lanzante has something special for you...
from the factory. Which, with hindsight, might have been the wrong call for a couple of reasons; Ferrari, of course, went on to sell 200 LaFerrari Apertas, and the Porsche 918 was only ever offered as a Spyder - and the production run of that was almost as much as McLaren and Ferrari combined.
That said, designing a lovely hybrid hypercar roadster is easier than engineering one. Which is where Lanzante comes in, with tweaks incorporated to the front wings, doors, engine cover and buttresses, themselves with new intakes to feed the brace of turbochargers. What can’t be seen is the strengthening of the chassis’ lower section to ensure no loss in rigidity. Which sounds like quite involved work.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Lanzante has chosen not to alter the P1’s powertrain. Because more than 900hp from a twin-turbo V8 hybrid is probably enough, especially now exposed to the elements and - you would imagine - with precious little weight added. Race mode is still possible in the Spider, though - imagine how incredible it’ll look dropped to the deck.
