WHY YES, THAT IS A MCLAREN F1 AT DYNO-COMP


...THANK YOU FOR ASKING


As the world's first production road car to feature an all carbon composite monocoque and body structure the F1 heralded a new era in the transfer of Formula One technology to the road. The extensive use of carbon fiber among other lightweight materials kept overall weight very low to improve handling and performance and yet provided exceptional strength and unsurpassed levels of safety.

The F1 was powered by a BMW S70/2 engine, specifically designed and built for the car. This 6.1-litre, quad-cam, 48-valve V12 produced 627 horsepower, driving through a bespoke six-speed transaxle gearbox. This engine powered McLaren to victory at Le Mans on its debut in 1995 and to several FIA GT championships.
