Fast enough to lap the Nürburgring in "considerably less than seven minutes" says McLaren, although even at this stage of the car's life, Woking still won't say what the car's official Nordschleife time is.

According to the rumour mill that is the internet the number of 6min 47sec keeps cropping up. But according to a McLaren insider I spoke to who knows rather more about the P1's capabilities than any armchair expert ever could, the actual time is "a fair bit quicker than that." As in six minutes 30 something.

"Woking still won't say what the car's official Nordschleife time is"

This is brilliant. 'Woking' is neither a sexy place (like Modena), nor a blue-collar cool place (like Detroit).

I typed 'what is Woking like' into google and these are some quotes:

'There are some really minging areas, and the town centre isn't really up to much'

'we live between woking and guildford. We avoid Woking, not very nice, according to them and DH'

'Bits of Woking are fine, other bits not'

Man this car is a tease. First they won't let us know how quick it is around the Ring. Next it's super expensive and has a limited production so none of us will ever drive one, let alone own one.

They may as well talk about how awesome it is to have sex with the top VS supermodel. That wouldn't be anymore of a tease than the P1 is, LOL
