The McLaren P1 is one of the 3 cars in the “Holy Trinity” which refers to the trio of the iconic hybrid cars including the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari. Since its debut, all three cars have essentially become collector’s items, a highly profitable investment.

The McLaren P1 may still look like a modern machine, but it has been in production since 2013 and ended production in 2015. So all the models being sold are at least 9 years old, but the prices continue to increase over the years.

Get stunned with the price of the McLaren P1 hybrid car battery replacement, almost 4 billion VND, equivalent to the price of a brand new Porsche 911

If you’re interested in a McLaren P1, you’re in luck as there are quite a few cars being listed for sale. Among them, there is one with only 7,500 km on the odometer, still quite new, in a stunning green color, which is a custom color created by MSO. It’s a 2014 model and is currently being auctioned with the highest bid reaching 1,475,000 dollars, which is over 300,000 dollars higher than the original price when it was unveiled nearly 10 years ago.

The interesting part is that before this McLaren P1 was put up for auction, the owner had already deposited 35,700 dollars, which is equivalent to 835 million dong, at a McLaren dealership for battery replacement. If you’re curious about the price of the battery for this hypercar, it’s a staggering 156,700 dollars, equivalent to 3.66 billion dong, which is the price of a brand new Porsche 911, and it will definitely shock you.

This shows that the cost of maintaining supercars, especially hybrid cars, is extremely expensive. But for those who own a McLaren P1 worth over a million dollars, this cost is not much of a concern.
