10 McLaren F1
The McLaren F1 is a rare and very expensive 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 km/h). As of April 2009, the F1 is succeeded by three faster cars in sheer top speed, but is still the fastest naturally aspirated production car.
Design: Chief engineer Gordon Murray’s design concept was a common one among designers of high-performance cars: low weight and high power. This was achieved through use of high-tech and expensive materials like carbon fibre, titanium, gold, magnesium and kevlar. The F1 was the first production car to use a carbon-fibre monocoque chassis. Purely Fast !!!!! Very Very Sexy …..
Performance: Powered by a 60° 6.1 Litre V12 engine, it produces an output of 627 horse power. It accelerates from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds. In 1994, AutoCar stated in a road test regarding the F1, “The McLaren F1 is the finest driving machine yet built for the public road.” and that “The F1 will be remembered as one of the great events in the history of the car, and it may possibly be the fastest production road car the world will ever see.”. In terms of sheer top speed, the F1 remains as of 2008 one of the fastest production cars ever made; as of July 2008 it is only succeeded by the Koenigsegg CCR, the Bugatti Veyron and the SSC Ultimate Aero TT. However, all of the superior top speed machines exploit forced induction to reach their respective top speeds – making the McLaren F1 the fastest naturally aspirated production car in the world.
Chick Factor: Huge. Highly Spirited & fully Cavalier. Deadly lustful combination. Let’s be honest here, if you can afford a McLaren F1 you won’t have much trouble getting chicks around. Moreover that mellowed scream of that Engine calls all the Girls out loud from every possible direction. Also the Butterfly doors come as an added effect.
