UNCOMPROMISING DESIGN

HANDPICKED INGENUITY

After thoroughly analyzing supercar performance, McLaren’s elite engineering team reimagined every aspect of sports car design. Leveraging their Formula 1™ expertise and a relentless pursuit of perfection, they reduced weight, minimized drag, and maximized downforce. Every millimeter of the F1 was meticulously crafted to create the world’s most exhilarating car.

PURE GOLD

The F1 is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.1-liter V12 BMW engine, delivering an impressive output of over 620 bhp. With such immense power comes heat, which is why the engine bay is lined with the finest heat reflector available—pure gold.

NO COMPROMISE

Our unwavering commitment to engineering excellence led to over 3,000 hours dedicated to crafting each carbon fiber chassis. The throttle pedal is a work of art, handcrafted from six separate pieces of titanium. Instrument panels are custom-made and hand-painted, with each needle individually machined. This level of precision extends to the driver, as every cabin is tailored to the owner’s preferences.

DRIVEN TO INNOVATE

With features inspired by Formula 1, the F1’s cutting-edge technologies were decades ahead of their time. Iconic elements like the carbon fiber tub, dihedral doors, flat underbody, and airbrake have become hallmarks of modern McLarens.

AIRBRAKE

As the world’s fastest road car, the F1 required the most advanced braking system. The computer-controlled airbrake balances load across the vehicle, ensuring stability during hard braking.

DIHEDRAL DOORS

The elegant dihedral doors solve a complex problem with style. Their wide-opening design provides effortless access to the central driving position, blending beauty and practicality.

RACE-BRED MONITORING

Developed for the track and refined for the F1, the onboard diagnostic computer continuously monitors and logs a multitude of metrics to swiftly identify and diagnose any issues.

Thoughts from McLaren

Brilliance takes time. It took four years to meticulously plan, design and build the all-conquering F1. Beautifully engineered and exceptionally quick, the F1 broke numerous world records during the ‘90s, and it remains the fastest naturally aspirated road car ever built. Only 106 cars were made in a limited production run, making the F1 one of the most exclusive cars in the world today.
