McLaren F1 Road Car 1995

This was on a old VHS tape I had recorded in 1995 from the Discovery Channel. I have cleaned up the audio & cropped the video.

The McLaren F1 is a sports car designed and manufactured by Gordon Murray and McLaren Automotive. On March 31, 1998, it set the record for the fastest production car in the world, 240.1 mph (386.7 km/h), which it held until the introduction of the Bugatti Veyron in 2005. As of January 2009, the F1 is the fastest naturally aspirated production car.

The car features a 6.1-litre BMW S70 60° V12 engine and it was conceived as an exercise in creating what its designers hoped would be considered the ultimate road car. Only 106 cars were manufactured, 64 of those were street versions (F1), 5 were LMs, 3 were longtail roadcars (GT), 5 prototypes (XP), 28 racecars (GTR), and 1 LM prototype (XP LM). Production began in 1992 and ended in 1998.

No no, £1000 English Pounds, ie its value.

Whoa... Gordon Murray said fuel consumption...

[darkalert224]

@Howitzer909 It was a joke to laugh at the way they like putting value as pounds. I was saying 100 pounds is heavy in weight.

1:12 This roll alone is a 1000 lbs but don't worry I can completely hold it....
