The McLaren P1 hypercar has made its public debut at the launch of McLaren's new MP4-28 F1 car at the firm's headquarters in Surrey.

McLaren Formula One driver Jenson Button drove the new P1 hypercar for the first time at low speed around the lake at the firm's technology centre.

The McLaren P1 made its debut in concept form at last year's Paris Motor Show and is due to be unveiled in full production form at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The P1 is only the fourth car to be produced by the Woking based company and is slated as the spiritual successor to the legendary McLaren F1 of 1993.

Commenting on the new car and the upcoming 2013 F1 season, Jenson Button said: "I know the engineers have left absolutely no stone unturned in wringing every ounce of performance from every available area.

"I cannot wait to get behind the wheel and attempt to carry forward the incredible legacy that lives beneath the skin of every single man and woman who works at McLaren."
