McLaren P1 battery upgrade triples capacity, cuts weight by 23 kg
A replacement high-voltage battery upgrade for the McLaren P1 has been released, aimed at addressing performance decline in early-production cars. UK-based V Engineering unveiled its Project Continuum swap-in battery, described as a plug-and-play replacement for the original McLaren unit. Using 21700 lithium-ion cells, it raises total capacity to 12.4 kWh from 4.72 kWh and is about 23 kg lighter.
