Origin: Cars made by McLaren Automotive have only one
purpose: of incorporating as much Formula 1 technology into a road car as
possible. Established in 1989 that company hasn't been very productive but the
few models that they came up with made automotive history. In keeping with
their intentions, their first car was named the McLaren F1. It was dubbed a
supercar by analysts and people who actually drove, and not just because it has
a one million dollar plus plus tag. This three seat coupe had a V12, 6064 cc
engine built by BMW. Only 100 models were made between 1992 and 1997.
Purpose: As said before, Mclaren wanted to incorporate as
much f1 (formula one for those of you that don’t know, is basically like nascar
but much better) in road car. It was solely meant for and still be road legal,
it can go upto 392 km/hr which makes it the fastest naturally powered car (Bugatti
Veyron uses turbo chargers), it was also made for luxuary, to incorporate its
luxuary while maintaing speed mclaren cover the are near the engine of the car with gold,
Gold is excellent to be incorporated in car it looks good and is an amazing
heat shield.
Value: The F1 remains one of the fastest production cars
ever made; as of July 2013 it is succeeded by very few cars, including the
Bugatti Veyron, the Hennessey Venom GT and the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
However, all of the superior top speed machines use forced induction (basically
turbo) to reach their respective top speeds, whereas the McLaren F1 is
naturally aspirated. Although production stopped in 1998, McLaren still maintains
an extensive support and service network for the F1. There are eight authorised
service centres throughout the world, and McLaren will on occasion fly a
specialised technician to the owner of the car or the service centre. All of
the technicians have undergone dedicated training in service of the McLaren F1.
In cases where major structural damage has occurred, the car can be returned to
McLaren directly for repair.
Limitation: It doesn’t tell us what happened in the war though
out the world during that time how it helped other cars, especially since it was very
expensive, costing around $970,000, and this was 15 years ago, imagine how much
it would cost now (one was sold for $5.5 million recently)
