McLaren F1 is the most powerful supercar produced by McLaren between the years 1994-1998, from the 100 cars: 65 are street versions, 5 are LMs (which was build to honor victory at Le Mans in 1995) and 3 are Gts (the road versions of the 1997 F1 GTR racing car) and 28 F1 GTR made for the roads.
The Chief Engineer Gordon Murroy`s concept refers to the use of expensive materials like: carbon, titanium, gold and for the first time, the use of carbon fiber monocoque chassis.

Power? Here is a good question, the car has the power output at 627 horsepower or has an imperial HP. The super car is powered by an 6 L V12 engine built by BMW, 627 HP at 7400 rmp, same as road car version.
The car has a top speed of 386 km/h or 240 mph (very good speed for 1994) and can reach a speed of 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, 200 km/h in 6.7 seconds and 300 km/h in 30 seconds. The McLaren F1 was the fastest car in the world until Bugatti Veyron was introduced.
When it was first introduced, it was priced at $970,000. This type of car is not produced anymore and it is very rare to find one of these on the market.

McLaren f1 was the fastest street legal production car until the koenigsegg CCR came along in 2004. After that came the Veyron and now the fastest street legal production car is the SSC Aero (257mph). Although these cars are faster in a straight line, the McLaren by far the best on a track and is still the fastest naturally aspired road car (All the successors are super/turbocharged).
