This is the world’s most insane drift car. A mutated McLaren, it’s the brainchild of ‘Mad Mike’ Whiddett, with a little help from McLaren experts Lanzante and luxury car specialists O’Gara Coach.
Now, a McLaren P1 drift car would have been silly enough, but ‘MadMac’ (as it’s affectionately known) fuses a P1 body with a 650S GT3 carbon chassis for the added protection of the latter’s roll cage. Oh, and then whatever McLaren V8 you were expecting has been ditched for a turbocharged, triple-rotor set-up. Peak power is close to four figures…
Myriad other changes have been made to get it drift ready, so here’s ‘Mad Mike’ himself, plus Lanzante boss Dean Lanzante, together with Top Gear’s Ollie Kew, to give you the full lowdown…

@flacjacket Месяц назад

@@tyler9703it is as much a P1 as it is a 650S GT3, both cars use the same monocoque but the 650S GT3 version has an integrated cage which is why that version was used. The body is an authentic P1 GTR body with 650S doors that allow for larger cooling ducts. Lanzante was the OEM for the P1 GTR. Very little of the rest of the car is original mclaren but what is there is from a P1 as far as I can gather so it is no less correct to describe it as a P1 than as a 650S GT3.

@tyler9703 Месяц назад

@@flacjacket The only body panels this thing has from a P1 are the rear-clam and the hood. That's it. Everything else is 650S. It uses the chassis from a 650S.

@GaryPigott Месяц назад

They didn't cut up a P1. They took an old 650S GT3 racecar tub and bolted Lanzante's P1 GTR body panels (which they normally use to convert regular P1s into P1 GTRs) onto it. There's nothing from a factory McLaren P1 here.

@HouseOfPetrol Месяц назад

What an amazing build ! This is truly one of a kind , especially turning it into a pro driftcar.. What they achieved in 100 days is nothing short of spectacular 😮 But every video on it says it's a P1 driftcar... it's a 650s gt3 with P1 GTR bodykit, and with an added rocket bunny widebody. So it never had the hybrid system or the P1 spec engine. Cutting a real P1 into pieces would just be crazy... Man, this thing is CRAZYYYY
