    The F1 is truly a amazing car. It came out in 1993, it can do over 240MPH, 0-60 in 3.1, and a prototype did the nurburgringin 7:11. With modern tires it could probably get into the high 2s range for 0-60 and possibly even do a sub 7 minute lap. It took 16 years for a car to beat it around the nurburgring and it took 13 years for its top speed to be beaten. It is still a hypercar today which shows how bat shit insane it was in 1993. It is truly one of the best cars ever.

      Oh no, more like the 6:40s. Modern sub 30k street cars with performance packs have similar grip to the Mc Laren. 90s tires are shit.

      A bit sad that they discarded this idea with the new cars, but if you look closely at the new GT's headlights you can see a little swing beneath them imitating the "Speedmark" called logo.
      THAT took me some time haha!

    You forgot to tell before Mclaren resort to using BMW engine, chief engineer Gordon Murray was really keen on using Honda's engine because he was so impressed by Honda NSX and during the time Mclaren Formula 1 team were also using Honda motor. Hr went to Honda's Tochigi Research Center on two occasions to persuade them to build for the McLaren F1 a 4.5 litre V10 or V12. But in the end he could not convince them to do it, and the McLaren F1 ended up equipped with a BMW engine

    • @ifanramadhana7833

      Miguel Garcia The reason they won't do it because Japan was in the bubble era economy and when it burst it makes manufacturer trimmed down costs and for that reason Honda politely refused the request. Beside Honda NSX has excellent record in national and Asian level series. Their Le Mans effort was spearheaded by all Japanese team, they are not used to Le Mans and had language barrier. Beside Honda engine powered McLaren F1 in the past with a success that Modern Mercedes hasn't yet achieved.

At that time, it didn't had any badges and it was in black-white-blue camouflage livery to hide details, but you only needed one second to know - it must be new McLaren. Absolutely BLISTERING machine.

      McLaren Automotive is a UK company. All McLaren's operations are based in Woking, England. Bruce McLaren was based in the UK as well. He and (1964 F1 World Champion) Denny Hulme won Driver To Europe scholarships from NZ motor racing clubs to fund their opportunity. Fellow kiwi Chris Amon joined them later and ended up racing for Ferrari in F1. Amon and McLaren won Le Mans together in a Ford GT40.
