The McLaren P1 will debut in Geneva a little over a month from now. God willing, so will the Ferrari Enzo successor, which would make Geneva 2013 the best auto show ever, as the two sides passive-aggressively trash talk each other in their respective press conferences.
Even if the Italians don't cooperate, the P1 will be a headline hog. McLaren knows this, and is keeping the hype fire stoked with a batch of fresh in-house "spy photos" (way to cut out the middleman, guys) and video of racetrack-pattern camouflaged "XP" development prototypes in action. The clip includes gratuitous slo-mo, lots of engine noise, maximum rear wing, and the eternally crowd-pleasing fire-spewing exhaust.
Overall, 2013 is a bonanza for enthusiasts, who get new flagship hypercars from McLaren, Ferrari, and Porsche (the 918) in close proximity to each other. It's like the old days.
