British manufacturer McLaren has delivered a $1.8 million hypercar to a New Zealand citizen complete with bespoke Kiwi logos that pay tribute to the brand's roots.
The jet-black, hybrid McLaren P1, which can rocket from 0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds, has arrived in Auckland and is turning heads at McLaren's Grey Lynn showroom. Just 375 of the flagship McLaren P1s, which feature ground-breaking technology pioneered in Formula One cars driven by some of the world's top drivers such as Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button, will be made.

But only one comes with tailor-made Kiwis stitched into the seats, and painted on to the lightweight carbon-fibre bodywork.
"The Kiwi logos - a homage to McLaren's roots - were something requested by the owner," said Luke Neuberger, sales manager at McLaren Auckland, which has secured the orders of three McLaren P1 hypercars for wealthy clients.
