This P1-Based McLaren F1 GTR Tribute Is One Of Just Four In The World

Lanzante, the British motorsport and engineering firm known for its McLaren conversions, has unveiled a new tribute that will stop traffic even in the hypercar capitals of the world. Based on the McLaren P1, the P1 GT is a street-legal homage to the legendary McLaren F1 GTR that won Le Mans in 1995. Only four examples are being built, making this one of the rarest modern McLaren derivatives ever produced.

Despite its aggressive, race-bred appearance—complete with a long tail, prominent rear wing, and exposed carbon fibre—the P1 GT is fully legal for public roads. Lanzante has managed to retain the P1’s hybrid powertrain while re-engineering the bodywork and aerodynamics to echo the iconic F1 GTR. The result is a machine that looks like it belongs on a racetrack but can be driven to your local coffee shop—if you dare.

In the ultra-exclusive hypercar segment, the P1 GT competes with other limited-run, track-focused road cars that are already sold or registered in Saudi Arabia. Think of the Ferrari LaFerrari, the Porsche 918 Spyder, and the Aston Martin Valkyrie—all of which appear occasionally at Saudi collections and events. But with only four units worldwide, the P1 GT is rarer than any of them, appealing primarily to collectors who value both motorsport heritage and extreme performance.

For Saudi buyers considering such a car, availability is the first challenge. With no official allocation in the Kingdom, any chance of ownership would require private import and close coordination with Lanzante or a specialist dealer. Buyers should also be aware that while the car is road-legal in principle, homologation for Saudi roads may require additional paperwork and modifications to meet local regulations.

Moreover, the hybrid system and bespoke bodywork mean that routine servicing cannot be handled by a standard McLaren dealer. Owners will need to rely on Lanzante’s own network or trusted specialist workshops. As with any hypercar of this pedigree, insurance and storage will also carry a premium.

Ultimately, the P1 GT is not a car for daily driving but a collector’s piece—a rolling tribute to one of the greatest racers of all time. For Saudi enthusiasts who already own a P1 or another top-tier hypercar, this could be the crown jewel of a private garage. But given its extreme rarity and bespoke nature, it’s a machine that demands serious commitment.
