Performance wise, the P1 according to McLaren will reach a maximum of 217 mph which is limited electronically and a 0-62 time of 2.8 seconds. McLaren also stated that the P1 would brake from186 mph to a stop in just 6.2 seconds.

Answer: Audi TT

The Audi TT was produced from October 1998 to November 2023. At the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, the car was on display as a concept car. The name Audi TT was taken from the motorcycle race at the Isle of Man known as the TT races (Tourist Trophy).

The first models were available as two-wheel drive or with the option of the Quattro (four-wheel-drive system). You also had the choice of engines with either the 180-bhp 1.8-litre inline four-cylinder 20-valve turbocharged engine or the upgraded option of the 222 bhp. In 2003, a 3.2 VR6 engine was available with 247 bhp and four-wheel drive as standard. It was also complemented by a six-speed direct-Shift gearbox.

The Audi TT has been around for a while, and while the engine sizes and power outputs have changed, the overall design has remained mostly the same. Due to low sales, Audi discontinued the range in 2023.

The reason why the TT had the reputation as a 'hairdresser's car' was all about style, or the lack of it. For a lot of petrol heads, the TT has traditionally catered to those who are merely looking to pose.

Titanium and carbon fibre combine to form "carbotanium", the lightweight material used to construct the Huayra's body. This made the power to weight ration excellent with performance figures of 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 235 mph.

Just one hundred Pagani Huayras, priced at a million pounds apiece, were manufactured-and that was for the base model! You would anticipate paying thousands extra if you desired upgrades.
