There was a time when the P1 was the most extreme model in the Ultimate Series collection, before the McLaren Elva. The mid-engine plug-in hybrid supercar, dubbed the "spiritual heir" to the famous F1 of the 1990s, made its debut in 2013. Despite the fact that it's over a decade old, it's still a genuinely unique sight to witness, and it's a highly sought-after piece of technology with just 375 units built.

This P1, which is painted in Volcanic Yellow, distinguishes out from the rest for one reason: it is the first-ever model to be delivered to a customer. This exact model was previously auctioned for an estimated $1.23-$1.36 million, and it's now up for grabs again, less than a year later. This time, though, it comes with a much larger price tag. The particular McLaren is advertised at £1,395,000 (about $1.8 million) by UK-based Bell Sport & Classic, indicating that the previous owner earned a tidy profit.

It's just been 134 miles since it was originally sold, with only 3,800 miles on the clock. The stunning painting is carried over to the brake calipers, which are hidden beneath the Stealth-finished rims. The warm tone is tempered elsewhere thanks to the Visual Carbon Fiber accents. The lightweight design has been carried over to the side panels, front and rear bumpers, side mirrors, and other areas of the vehicle.

The inside is dominated by a subtle Black leather/Alcantara color combination. Surprisingly, the interior is blemish-free and seems to be like new, as it should be given the low mileage. Yellow stitching on the bucket seats will have to suffice for those searching for a splash of color. Inside, prospective owners will like the carbon accents, while audiophiles will appreciate the Meridian Surround Sound System, which is available as an option.

The hybrid arrangement provided awe-inspiring power, which made the P1 so thrilling at the time. There's more than 900 horsepower and a whopping 664 lb-ft of torque available thanks to the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 and an electric motor. Simultaneously, competitors Porsche and Ferrari unveiled their visions for a hybridized hypercar, allowing for some excellent comparisons at the time.

If the reputed dealer receives the asking amount (and why shouldn't it? ), the previous owner made a wise investment decision; a year behind the wheel of a P1 and a profit of $600,000 or so isn't terrible. Then then, is the chunk of cash worth more than the bragging rights connected with owning the first-ever P1? We are unsure. This is an exceptional vehicle that will most likely improve in value over time. After all, what other long-term investments can you make in exchange for a breathtaking sunset drive?
