McLaren F1
A production sports car formerly built by McLaren . Previously, the company was engaged in the production of only racing cars, but in the 60s, they thought about creating a sports car for city roads, but then it did not work out, and the idea was forgotten. After that, in the 80s, the idea was remembered, and in the late 90s, a drawing of the car was presented to the head of the company. As a result, in 1992, the McLaren F1 car was shown to the public.
At that time, the price of the car was announced, it was $ 1.2 million. The design of the car surprised many, and also surprised the technical characteristics of the model. The maximum speed that was recorded is 386 km / h. For 12 years, this model was considered the fastest in the world.
PRODUCTION LASTED UNTIL 1998, AND IN 2013 THE RECEIVER OF THE MCLAREN P1 MODEL WAS RELEASED .

The back has 4 round halogen headlights, there is additionally a barbecue that eliminates air from the motor. 4 lines of the exhaust framework are richly embedded into the guard. Truly straightforward plan, yet this doesn’t imply that the vehicle isn’t lovely.

This is a naturally aspirated engine with 12 cylinders and a V-shaped distribution of these cylinders. Peak torque of 651 H*m was reached at 5600 rpm and the red zone starts at 7500 rpm. The motor is equipped with a SOHC and Double-Vanos system with a dynamic variable valve timing system.
This engine was developed by BMW . The speed characteristics of the engine turned out to be very good. Thanks to him, the car gained the first 100 km / h in 3.2 seconds, and the second hundred was reached in another 6.2 seconds.
The engine was paired only with a 6- speed manual transmission , which transmits torque only to the rear wheels. The car stops in 3 seconds from a speed of 100 km / h while driving 39 m. The model uses ventilated disc brakes.
Salon
Since this is a sports car, you should not expect a comfortable ride from it. Getting into the car is quite inconvenient, the doors open up, but this is not the main problem. There are 3 seats in one row, and the driver’s seat is in the middle of the cabin, and to the right and left of the seat there are tunnels with various buttons for controlling the audio system and other functions.
The parking brake lever is located on the left panel, and the gearshift knob is located on the right panel. The car has a conventional three-spoke steering wheel, and behind it is a conventional dashboard.
Price McLaren F1
THIS MODEL COSTS $ 1,200,000 , IT’S JUST A LOT OF MONEY AND YOU CAN ARGUE FOR A LONG TIME THAT THIS IS TOO MUCH, BUT YOU STILL CAN’T CHANGE THE PRICE.
The model turned out to be beautiful even by today’s standards. Beautiful “muzzle”, beautiful “back”, four-barreled exhaust. Now this model is unlikely to be bought, since there were only 106 versions made, and most likely buyers do not sell it.
