Tesla doesn't need to worry that McLaren is suddenly getting into the pure-electric game with the P1 supercar.

That's because this electric P1 is a new toy for kids between the ages of three and six. This is not the Little Tykes Cozy Coupe of your childhood.

This is a pretty cool toy. It features the "dihedral" butterfly doors featured on all modern McLarens. It also comes with an electric motor coupled to a three-speed transmission that even has reverse. This toy P1 also offers desirable features not available on the full-size model, including a center seating position and an open roof. Drivers will even have access to an on-board MP3 player and speaker system.

The car goes on sale at select McLaren stores and toy stores at the end of October, and it can be purchased in any color you want so long as it's Volcano Yellow. Pricing has been set at £375, which at current exchange rates is about $486. So if you must have an electric, drop-top P1, there's really only one option.
