:::McLaren F1:::





The McLaren has been my favorite car ever since I started playing Need For Speed (It was by far the fastest car in the game and looked the best). I hope that all of you are as fascinated by this car as I am!

The McLaren F1 features a BMW S70 V12 engine, very aggressive, sporty looks, and held the title of the fastest production car. The McLaren was designed specifically to be the ultimate roadcar (and I think they did an excellent job at that!). Only 100 were produced and up until 2005 was the fastest production car with a top speed of 386.7 km/h (242.14 mph) and still was able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds!! (LM can go 0-60 in 2.9 seconds). The LM version also held the record for acceleration from 0-100-0 mph in 8.5 seconds!!!


Interesting Fact: The turn signals on the side mirrors were adopted by many car manufactures later.








The F1 LM (Le Mans) is easy to recognize as it is always coloured papaya orange (and it has a racing engine, but you can't recognize that by looking at it!). The LM is the fastest road version McLaren F1.
