McLaren F1

The F1 is McLaren's first road-going vehicle, introduced for the 1992 model year and ceasing production in 1999. Unlike most supercars, the McLaren F1 has centrifugal steering and can seat two additional passengers. Behind the seats is a 6.1-liter V12 sourced from BMW churning out 618 horsepower and 586 foot-pounds of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 3.2 seconds. The F1 held the title of the world's fastest street-legal production car from its introduction until the debut of the Bugatti Veyron in 2005 with a top speed of 231 mph with the rev limiter enabled and 242.8 mph with the rev limiter disabled. Its sole gearbox option is a six-speed manual. The McLaren F1 is the first road vehicle to use a carbon fiber monocoque chassis. Gordon Murray is the chief designer of this car, and his goal with it was to create the ultimate street machine. He went on to create his own city car years later. Unlike many sports cars of its time, the McLaren F1 came standard with full cabin air conditioning and side luggage compartments. It is also one of the most aerodynamic street cars around with a drag coefficient of 0.32. Only 106 McLaren F1s were ever made, and each unit is worth millions of dollars today. The F1 is an automotive masterpiece and hailed as one of the greatest cars in history by auto publications the world over.
