The video above is part 1 of a four part series which are available after jump. If you have 40 minutes to kill, then this is the best way to do it as the video shows the Mclaren’s inaugural run at the 1995 Le Mans. The Mclaren F1 took the world by storm when it was first introduced in the early 90’s, now nearly two decades later, it is still considered the ultimate roadcar with an engineering feat no other supercar manufacturer has rivaled. It took the quad-turbocharged Veyron to beat the naturally aspirated Mclaren and even then, the Mclaren is much quicker on track.
The Mclaren F1 has won generations of admirers and will continue to win generations more as its no-compromise philosophy will be hard to implement today with stringent safety standards and emission controls. Here’s a four part series celebrating the Mclaren F1, Gordon Murray talks us through the technology behind it and a racing legend much ahead of it’s time.
