Much has been written about the N\u00fcrburgring-Nordschleife since it was first raced. The fabled 20.83-kilometer circuit snakes its way through Germany\u2019s Eifel Forest, and it has regularly bitten amateurs and professionals alike, who have tried to tame it, pushing for that extra tenth of a second.

 <\/p>\n

The first of the so-called \u2018holy trinity\u2019, the McLaren P1 holds several impressive accolades to its name. Underlining the sheer performance and ability of the limited-run hypercar, \u2018Mr McLaren\u2019 Ron Dennis announced at its launch in 2013, that entry into the sub-7 minute club was a prerequisite to signing off the performance of the car; designed to be \u2018the fastest car on road and track\u2019. Bold words, especially against some very stiff competition at the time from Maranello and Stuttgart. However, on just 10 months later, McLaren confirmed that its attempt at membership had been successful. The car that achieved the milestone was one of the firm\u2019s prototypes, P1-\u2019XP2R\u2019<\/em>, and the achievement was simply a part of the performance benchmarking. No more specifics were confirmed, other than to acknowledge that the task \u2013 along with all the other performance objectives in the development program \u2013 had been completed. And then the internet forums erupted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, a decade on from the announcement by McLaren Automotive, the era-defining prototype, XP2R<\/em>, has come out from under the covers of a private collection, entrusted to the team at Sub7 Collection. Named after the automotive industry\u2019s most prestigious club, Sub7 Collection manages and sources some of the world\u2019s most exclusive cars on behalf of clients. Through dedicated management of private vehicle collections, to the sourcing and step-by-step support for sales or purchases of high value, premium super and hypercars, Sub7 Collection will work with clients looking to acquire individual vehicles, through to building and maintaining bespoke collections. Sub7 Collection is spearheaded by Jamie Weir who, among his extensive experience in the prestige and exclusive automotive markets, played a major role in the customer management of the McLaren P1 program during his time with the brand.<\/p>\n

As the perfect poster car for the launch of Sub7 Collection, the McLaren P1 was one of the founding fathers of the exclusive sub-7-minute members club. Widely considered the highlight of McLaren Automotive\u2019s modern-day projects, the model was limited to just 375 production models, supported by a small number of testing and validation prototypes. Following the conclusion of this production run, selected clients were offered the opportunity to acquire a very small number of special vehicles which had played a major role in the development process.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

XP2R<\/em>, or eXperimental Prototype 2 as it started off, was one of the first development mules in the groundbreaking project. Initially running in the racetrack camouflage prior to the public unveiling, XP2R<\/em> carried out extensive testing including vMax attempts, tire testing with Pirelli, braking system sign-off with Akebono, active aerodynamics, Race Mode, and damper tuning. It received its fully painted bodywork in June 2013, as the program became more public, appearing once again at the N\u00fcrburgring as it worked through the final development program stages, aiming towards the lap time attempt.<\/p>\n

As genuine racecars have become more appealing in recent years, particularly when they offer bona fide racing provenance, XP2R<\/em> presents as one of the most unique and talked about histories of a specific road car in recent years. Fully recommissioned at the end of its \u2018working life\u2019 by McLaren Automotive, it is exactly as it completed its demanding development program \u2013 finished in stunning Supernova Silver metallic bodywork, with stealth wheels \u2013 and still wears its \u2018prototype vehicle\u2019 monikers. XP2R<\/em> is now held with an extensive set of spares, including a second set of carbon fiber bodywork. With these spare parts and bodywork, a complete silhouette vehicle has been created, which sits alongside the car in the owner\u2019s private collection. This second model is all but identical to the original prototype, although showing the different colored brake calipers that were worn during the development program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, what does it take to achieve sub-7 status? The unique challenge of the Nordschleife, or \u2018North Loop\u2019, means that the car must travel at an average speed in excess of 111mph. As an average. No mean feat, especially when you remember some of the tighter and twisty corners scrub speed down to double digits, severely impacting the average. To complete the task requires ultimate commitment and trust in the car by the driver throughout the whole lap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
