Alien from the sixties, a German motor and no comfort: myths and facts about the McLaren F1

McLaren F1 is unusual both in its history and in many technical solutions. Therefore, a rare, piecey and very expensive supercar has become a source for many fictional myths and real facts, which we will separate from each other.

MYTH 1: THIS SUPERCAR FROM THE NINETIES WAS CONDITIONED STILL IN THE SIXTY YEARS

true

The company McLaren at the very beginning of his “professional path” thought about how to produce not only racing cars, but also cars designed for driving on public roads.

However, the youngest pilot that has won the Formula 1 Championship Grand Prix, Bruce McLaren died in the summer of 1970 during the testing of the new Canadian-American McLaren M8D series car.

Probably, due to this sad fact, the “civilian supercar” of the McLaren brand would not have appeared if it had not been for the combination with Ron Dennis with Project 4 and the talented designer Gordon Murray.

A native of a family of Scottish immigrants who lived in South Africa dreamed of his own mid-engined car in his student years, but due to a lack of resources for implementation, the project never took place. Arriving in the UK to get a lotus, Murray ended up in Brabham, where he later became a chief designer. Having worked for this company for almost two decades, he gained extensive experience in introducing both successful and not very effective ideas like a fan on the Brabham BT46 underbody in big sports, because of which, after a single race, the FIA ​​was forced to ban such “know how. “

Having become the technical director of the McLaren team in 1987, Murray does not give up. Thanks to him, the MP4 / 4 was created – one of the most successful racing cars on which the team was able to win 15 of the 16 races of 1988.

At the same time, Gordon did not forget about his long-standing idea, which just in 1988 found a response and support from the director of McLaren Ron Dennis. So, at McLaren, they took up the “old” concept, which for several years almost at the same time was hatched by Bruce McLaren and Gordon Murray. This is the replica of the McLaren Senna created by Lego; detail at the highest level

MYTH 2: MCLAREN F1 WAS CREATED IN THE RACE BRAND, WHERE THE CAR FOR FORMULA 1 was DESIGNED

myth

A big name is one of the possible components of market success. McLaren F1 received it long before its appearance, but the project took place only after the creation of a separate subsidiary of McLaren Cars Limited, which appeared in March 1989. It was this company that created the future supercar. He headed the “daughter”, as you might guess, all the same Murray, who at that time had no particular restrictions, but there was a clear vision of an ideal racing car for public roads.

The designer Peter Stevens, who created the Lotus Elan and Jaguar XJR-15, was involved in the development. However, the history of the future supercar was not related to the McLaren team itself, and after 1991 the company’s “racing star” began to fade out slowly – until the installation of new Mercedes engines. Perhaps this is a coincidence, but just at that time, Murray started a new project – the first “civilian” car in the history of the company.

After all, the McLaren F1 was originally conceived as a “regular” car (albeit at a price of about a million dollars), intended for public roads. Which, however, did not prevent the car from eventually getting on the race track. However, of the 106 cars released, 65 were road versions – that is, most Mclaren of this model could still ride not only on racetracks.

MYTH 3: MCLAREN F1 – A HEAVY CAR

myth

Due to the wide body and massive forms, many contemporaries considered the McLaren F1 not the easiest car. Squat supercar looked much more “weighty” than its real mass. After all, it is hard to believe that a car almost 4.3 m long with a 12-cylinder six-liter engine weighs almost as much as a regular small car!

Murray really wanted to achieve the ideal ratio of mass and power – that is, one horsepower for every two kilograms with a ton of “live” weight. Although the real supercar turned out to be a bit heavier (1140 kg), however, its engine also developed 627 h.p. The new OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition comes to market

The composite helped to achieve such excellent performance: about five thousand body parts were fashioned from carbon fiber, including monocoque and attachments. The widespread use of light alloys and titanium in the chassis also positively affected the mass. Of course, the car turned out to be not only lightweight, but also very hard, since all vibrations and shock during riding were transmitted to the bodies of the driver and two passengers.

As a result, the power supply of the “civilian” F1 turned out to be practically at the racing level, and the company went almost unattainable on the use of carbon on cars for “ordinary” roads.

Again, for a simple reason: this car, was “heavy” for its owner only financially. Over a million dollars – a huge amount for a production car, albeit with such outstanding characteristics.

MYTH 4: Mister Bean is VERY READY TO SELL HIS INSTANCE, WHICH HE BROKEN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THIS

true

Rowan Atkinson, who earned worldwide fame and fame as Mr. Bean, has owned an exclusive supercar for over 15 years, driving a total of almost 66,000 km on it.

During this time, the comedian managed to get into an accident twice (in 1999 and 2011) in his super-expensive and ultra-exclusive car. However, despite the collisions with the pillars, the acquisition was still very profitable: having bought a car in 1997 for 540 thousand pounds, Atkinson eventually sold the McLaren F1 in 2015 for 8 million pounds. The car was owned by a resident of Great Britain, who remained unknown.

After a serious accident, the car even caught fire, but Mr. Bean only sustained a shoulder injury, having achieved insurance compensation record-breaking for the Old World in the amount of 910 thousand pounds and having sold his car 15 times more than its original cost.

However, the fantastic amount of the transaction is explained not only by Atkinson’s fame, but also by the exclusivity of the car, because physically there are several supercars left, and they are rarely sold.

Audi equipped the SQ7 and SQ8 crossovers with a gasoline engine, like the Lamborghini Urus

The German company introduced the “refreshed” SUV SQ7 and the new SQ8 in the summer of 2019. Then the “charged” cars entered the European market. Here both crossovers are equipped with one engine – a “turbo diesel” V8 TDI with a volume of 4.0 liters with a return of 435 hp. and a maximum torque of 900 Nm (the same engine is under the hood of a Bentley Bentayga). The engine has two turbochargers, an electric supercharger and an appendage in the form of a starter generator, which runs on its own power supply with a voltage of 48 V and has a separate lithium-ion battery in the trunk. This diesel engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic.

In the spring of 2020, “hot” crossovers will go to the United States. For this, the SQ7 and SQ8 gave another “filling”: the 4.0-liter V8 TFSI biturbo engine of the EA825 series, like the Lamborghini Urus and several other models. Audi SUVs have a power of 507 hp, and a torque of 770 Nm.

At the same time, in other cars this engine produces more: for example, with the Porsche Panamera and Cayenne Turbo its output is 550 hp. (the torque is the same – 770 Nm), the “charged” crossover Audi RS Q8 has 600 hp. (800 Nm), and the “sports SUV” Lamborghini Urus – 650 hp (850 Nm).

American gasoline SQ7 and SQ8 will receive the same all-wheel drive transmission with an asymmetric Torsen differential, as in the European diesel versions. Here, the thrust is distributed in a proportion of 40:60 in favor of the rear axle. In addition, the same eight-speed automatic transmission will be offered as a kit for the engine.

Audi S6 Avant 2019, diesel format also for the family

Acceleration from 0 to 97 km / h Audi SQ7 and SQ8 with a gasoline engine will need 4.3 seconds. For comparison, diesel versions from zero to “hundreds” accelerate in 4.8 seconds. The maximum speed for all versions is electronically limited at around 250 km / h.

American versions of crossovers will receive a fully-controlled chassis in the initial configuration. An electromechanical roll stabilization system and a controllable rear differential are optionally available (can transmit up to 80% of traction to the rear axle).

In appearance, there are almost no differences from European crossovers. The SQ7 and SQ8 for the US market have silver side mirror housings, a sports exhaust system with four tailpipes. Audi SQ7 received 20 – and 21-inch alloy wheels, and SQ8 – 21 – and 22-inch “rollers”. While there is little data on the interior, it is known that sports seats with heating and ventilation are finished in leather. Audi Q7 is a large luxury crossover that you should take into account if you are looking for a roomy, practical and at the same time premium car

There is still no information about the prices of Audi crossovers in the United States, it will appear closer to the start of sales. In Germany, the cost of SQ7 starts at 95,950 euros, and the SQ8 price tag starts at 103,950 euros.

Meanwhile, sales of the Audi RS Q8, which the company introduced last November at the Los Angeles Auto Show, will begin in Europe in the first half of 2020. Starting price tag – 127 thousand euros.

Although the real supercar turned out to be a bit heavier (1140 kg), however, its engine also developed 627 h.p. The new OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition comes to market

The composite helped to achieve such excellent performance: about five thousand body parts were fashioned from carbon fiber, including monocoque and attachments. The widespread use of light alloys and titanium in the chassis also positively affected the mass. Of course, the car turned out to be not only lightweight, but also very hard, since all vibrations and shock during riding were transmitted to the bodies of the driver and two passengers.

As a result, the power supply of the “civilian” F1 turned out to be practically at the racing level, and the company went almost unattainable on the use of carbon on cars for “ordinary” roads.

Again, for a simple reason: this car, was “heavy” for its owner only financially. Over a million dollars – a huge amount for a production car, albeit with such outstanding characteristics.

MYTH 4: Mister Bean is VERY READY TO SELL HIS INSTANCE, WHICH HE BROKEN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THIS

true

Rowan Atkinson, who earned worldwide fame and fame as Mr. Bean, has owned an exclusive supercar for over 15 years, driving a total of almost 66,000 km on it.

During this time, the comedian managed to get into an accident twice (in 1999 and 2011) in his super-expensive and ultra-exclusive car. However, despite the collisions with the pillars, the acquisition was still very profitable: having bought a car in 1997 for 540 thousand pounds, Atkinson eventually sold the McLaren F1 in 2015 for 8 million pounds. The car was owned by a resident of Great Britain, who remained unknown.

After a serious accident, the car even caught fire, but Mr. Bean only sustained a shoulder injury, having achieved insurance compensation record-breaking for the Old World in the amount of 910 thousand pounds and having sold his car 15 times more than its original cost.

However, the fantastic amount of the transaction is explained not only by Atkinson’s fame, but also by the exclusivity of the car, because physically there are several supercars left, and they are rarely sold.

Audi equipped the SQ7 and SQ8 crossovers with a gasoline engine, like the Lamborghini Urus

The German company introduced the “refreshed” SUV SQ7 and the new SQ8 in the summer of 2019. Then the “charged” cars entered the European market. Here both crossovers are equipped with one engine – a “turbo diesel” V8 TDI with a volume of 4.0 liters with a return of 435 hp. and a maximum torque of 900 Nm (the same engine is under the hood of a Bentley Bentayga). The engine has two turbochargers, an electric supercharger and an appendage in the form of a starter generator, which runs on its own power supply with a voltage of 48 V and has a separate lithium-ion battery in the trunk. This diesel engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic.

In the spring of 2020, “hot” crossovers will go to the United States. For this, the SQ7 and SQ8 gave another “filling”: the 4.0-liter V8 TFSI biturbo engine of the EA825 series, like the Lamborghini Urus and several other models. Audi SUVs have a power of 507 hp, and a torque of 770 Nm.

At the same time, in other cars this engine produces more: for example, with the Porsche Panamera and Cayenne Turbo its output is 550 hp. (the torque is the same – 770 Nm), the “charged” crossover Audi RS Q8 has 600 hp. (800 Nm), and the “sports SUV” Lamborghini Urus – 650 hp (850 Nm).

American gasoline SQ7 and SQ8 will receive the same all-wheel drive transmission with an asymmetric Torsen differential, as in the European diesel versions. Here, the thrust is distributed in a proportion of 40:60 in favor of the rear axle. In addition, the same eight-speed automatic transmission will be offered as a kit for the engine.

Audi S6 Avant 2019, diesel format also for the family

Acceleration from 0 to 97 km / h Audi SQ7 and SQ8 with a gasoline engine will need 4.3 seconds. For comparison, diesel versions from zero to “hundreds” accelerate in 4.8 seconds. The maximum speed for all versions is electronically limited at around 250 km / h.

American versions of crossovers will receive a fully-controlled chassis in the initial configuration. An electromechanical roll stabilization system and a controllable rear differential are optionally available (can transmit up to 80% of traction to the rear axle).

In appearance, there are almost no differences from European crossovers. The SQ7 and SQ8 for the US market have silver side mirror housings, a sports exhaust system with four tailpipes. Audi SQ7 received 20 – and 21-inch alloy wheels, and SQ8 – 21 – and 22-inch “rollers”. While there is little data on the interior, it is known that sports seats with heating and ventilation are finished in leather. Audi Q7 is a large luxury crossover that you should take into account if you are looking for a roomy, practical and at the same time premium car

There is still no information about the prices of Audi crossovers in the United States, it will appear closer to the start of sales. In Germany, the cost of SQ7 starts at 95,950 euros, and the SQ8 price tag starts at 103,950 euros.

Meanwhile, sales of the Audi RS Q8, which the company introduced last November at the Los Angeles Auto Show, will begin in Europe in the first half of 2020. Starting price tag – 127 thousand euros.
