Mclaren F1 at Special Stage Route 5
in Gran Turismo 5
The McLaren F1 is a Supercar designed
and manufactured by Mclaren Automotive.
Originally a concept conceived by Gordon
Muray, he convinced Ron Dennis to
back the project and engaged Peter
Stevens to design the exterior of the car. On 31 March 1998, it set
the record for the fastest road car in the world, topping at 231 mph (372 km/h)
with Rev Limiter on, and
242.95 mph (391 km/h) with rev limiter removed.
The car features numerous
proprietary designs and technologies; it is lighter and has a more streamlined
structure than even most of its modern rivals and competitors despite having
one seat more than most similar sports cars, with the driver's seat located in
the middle (and slightly forward of the passengers seating position providing
excellent driving visibility). It features a powerful engine and is somewhat
track oriented, but not to the degree that it compromises everyday usability
and comfort. It was conceived as an exercise in creating what its designers
hoped would be considered the ultimate road car. Despite not having been
designed as a track machine, a modified race car edition of the vehicle won
several races, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995, where it faced
purpose-built prototype race cars. Production began in 1992 and ended in 1998.
In all, 106 cars were manufactured, with some variations in the design.
