That thing is pure car porn.
"As the P1 uses the MP4-12C's wheelbase and carbon tub, we can reasonably
assume it employs some iteration of the 12C's 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 - no room
for a V12, we suspect. So what does that mean for power? Well, we know the P1
has all manner of tricks to reduce weight - aluminium panels, lighter wheels and
more - but we also know it uses a KERS system, which means it'll get a
battery.
With heavy battery offsetting expensive lightweight materials, let's assume the
P1 weighs the same as an MP4-12C: just over 1400kg. Which means, to achieve
600bhp per tonne, it'll have to make around 850bhp. If 100bhp of that is
provided by the KERS, that means the V8 will need to generate about 750bhp. Hold
on tight."
