McLaren F1
The McLaren F1 is the fastest, most powerful and most expensive production car in the world.
The F1 was developed by McLaren cars LTD, a subsidiary of one of the worlds leading Formula One Teams. From the beginning it was designed to have the highest power to weight ratio of any car available. This was achieved with the use of ultra-light weight composite materials and bespoke components designed to as light as possible. But this is no bare-boards racer either, it has A CD system, Air Conditioning, Electric Windows and ample luggage space yet still manages to weigh less than the stripped out Ferrari F40.
The car is powered by a 6.1 Liter V12 engine developed by BMW. This awesome powerplant develops 627BHP and powers the car to 230+ MPH.
