McLaren F1
McLaren F1 is a serial model of a sports car of the British company McLaren, from 1998 to 2005 was considered the fastest in the world. It was designed and manufactured by McLaren Cars. A total of 106 cars were produced, 65 of which were road versions (F1), 5 were Le Man’s prototypes (LM), 3 were exclusive (GT), 5 were prototypes (XP), 28 were racing versions (GTR) and 1 was prototype LM (XP LM). Production began in 1992 and resulted in 1998. the worth started at $ 1.2 million.
The car’s engine was based on the S70B50CSI block, which was also used on the BMW 850 CSI. The differences are blockheads with a pair of camshafts in each, 4 valves per cylinder with hydraulic compensators ( DOHC system ), a Double-Vanos phase control system on each head, front timing gear covers, and an oil sump with a dry lubrication system with a double oil pump. By means of a Kevlar fan located on the underside of the vehicle, the vehicle has a ground-effect technology.
The refinement was undertaken by a subsidiary of BMW AG under the leadership of Paul Roche ( English ) – BMW-Motorsport. As a result, the working volume of the engine was increased to 6.1 liters (6064 cm³) with a mass of 266 kg, and the power was 627 liters. with. The engine compartment and cover are gold plated. Gold, from the company’s point of view, is one of the best heat-reflecting materials.
The steering wheel and driver’s seat of the McLaren F1 are located according to Gordon Murray’s iStream technology – that is, in the center of the cabin. Diagnosis of car electronics is currently only possible via connector Docking laptop Compaq LTE 5280.
