Experience the overall airflow simulation around the P1. Each component works together to create a cohesive aerodynamic performance profile.
The aerodynamic layout is defined by the necessity of providing sufficient cooling air to a powertrain capable of over 1000 cv while managing the extreme thermal loads generated by the hybrid system.
Derived directly from Formula 1, the signature front S-Duct channels high-pressure air through the nose and over the canopy, simultaneously creating immense downforce and reducing overall drag coefficient.
A meticulously sculpted underbody paired with specialized vortex generators creates a low-pressure zone that virtually sucks the car to the tarmac, optimizing stability at maximum velocity.
The electronically controlled rear wing continuously adjusts its angle of attack depending on dynamic inputs, operating as an airbrake under deceleration or flattening out to minimize drag on straights.
