UK's P1 Supercar Club Returns from the Dead

P1 Supercar Club - Mercedes-McLaren SLR & Porsche Carrera GT

P1 has resurfaced following administration hearings and restructuring that began earlier in the year.  Britain's first-ever supercar sharing program which previously peaked at 240 members will relaunch later this year.

Unfortunately, many members will be forced to resign with the club, forking over more cash against an annual fee.  However, P1 founder Michael Breen says the firm has a plan to deal with the impending grievances.

"...[T]he first thing we did was to offer them all their tier points back when they rejoined," Breen said.  The club gives members a certain number of points every year that drivers can exchange for a supercar rental.

"If they come back they will be able to transfer all their benefits and unused mileages on top of their new annual quota."

Currently, P1 has three packages priced at £9250, £12,250, and £14,250.  Some of their cars include the Aston Martin DBS, Ferrari 430 Spider, and the Nissan GT-R.  They already have a Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren MP4-12C, and Mercedes-Benz SLS on order.

why shouldnt the M3 be there?? It's one of the best cars in the world (winning comparison tests against the c63, rs4, is-f, porsche turbo, gt-r etc) and i'm sure there would be people wanting to drive it

There is always one. Face the facts, the M3 is NOT a supercar, it is just a sports car, period. And btw, it is a SUPERCAR club, which means it is out of place here.

Truth, M3 is not supercar, although is one of the best cars in the world, (BMW desperately needs supercar, R8 rival).

N20, if the vendor offers up the M3 as part of their rental lineup, don't you think that it's their prerogative?

They (the business) are CALLED P1 Super Club. They have not been peer reviewed and then declared to have the nominal of "P1 Super Club".

Besides, anyone who considers the M3 to not be a supercar is clearly midteens.

You all need to define true supercar credentials here. The M3 body design is sportscar, but a DETUNED M3 is supercar territory (190mph+). Blame BMW for the 'Gentleman's Agreement' handshake! Great to see P1 back; the recession bore no prejudice!
