IPAS
The McLaren P1
™
is fitted with an electric
motor to maximise the throttle response and
optimise the performance of the vehicle. The
electric motor will operate seamlessly in Wet,
Track and Race handling modes automatically
to ensure optimum performance in all
conditions.
In addition to the automatic operation of the
electric motor, the driver may manually
deploy the IPAS (Instant Power Assist System)
by pushing the button on the steering wheel.
Pressing the IPAS button provides instant
additional power immediately to maximise
vehicle acceleration.
IPAS is only available for use when the Boost
button is selected and the Boost light is
illuminated.
IPAS operates in Wet, Track and Race
handling modes when the IPAS button is
pressed on the steering wheel and the
following conditions are met:
•
The vehicle is in manual mode (Auto off).
•
The vehicle is under very hard
acceleration.
•
The driver must not have the brakes
applied.
•
Launch control is switched off.
When all conditions are met, the IPAS
indicators on the instrument cluster will
illuminate showing that the function is
available.
WARNING: It is recommended that the
IPAS button is only pressed whilst
travelling in a straight line. Pressing the
IPAS button whilst cornering may cause
the rear wheels to lose traction and
instigate oversteer or cause the vehicle
to spin.
If all of these conditions are met, the electric
motor will deliver maximum torque to assist

vehicle acceleration when the IPAS button is
pressed. Releasing the button will
immediately cancel IPAS operation.
