Information
Chassis XP2 - Crash Test Mule
XP2 was the second of five prototype McLaren F1s, McLaren sacrificed XP2 as a crash test mule to gain safety approval.
The bright blue XP2 was delivered to the Motor Industry Research Association in Warwickshire during the second week of December 1993.
Upon arrival, XP2 was subjected to the mandatory 30mph crash test which it passed with ease.
The regulations permitted 127mm of steering column travel; XP2’s moved just 14mm. Both doors remained fully operational and damage was light enough that the car could have been driven away.
XP2 was the first road car with a carbonfibre chassis to be crash tested at MIRA. Thanks to the F1’s intricate front impact structure, the carbon-fibre monocoque itself was completely undamaged.
