Ferrari Enzo vs. Mclaren F1

Posted on 03.26.2007 06:00 by Simona

Fifth Gear had the opportunity to test two of the best supercars in the world. Both of the cars have their pros and cons, but overall they are amazing, if we can believe Tiff that is. The exterior of these cars is perfect craftsmanship, but once your inside, the car is totally different; it’s more like a race car, than a luxury supercar. It seems that the Bugatti Veyron is one of the only ones that is both luxurious and sporty.

Enjoy!

1995 McLaren F1 LM

Posted on 07.18.2006 12:30 by Simona

In 1995, the McLaren F1 GTR achieved its place in history by winning the Le Mans endurance race at the first attempt. Not only did the F1 GTR finish first, it also occupied 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th places when the flag came down after 24 gruelling hours.

To celebrate this extraordinary feat, McLaren Automotive created a limited edition of just five LM’s - one for every F1 GTR which finished the race. Whilst the LM is a model in its own right, the concept was that it should be a 1995 F1 GTR, with the minimum modifications to make it usable on the road.

Thus the LM runs the most powerful engine of any F1, road or race, by using an 1995 GTR engine without the air restrictors. It also features the race car aerodynamics, gearbox and 18" inch wheels.

As a tribute to the memory of Bruce McLaren, all the F1 LM’s were painted in the same Papaya Orange that was used on his contemporary Formula One and Can Am cars.

With 680 bhp and weighing some 60kg less than the F1 road car, the F1 LM is the fastest accelerating F1 of all.
