McLaren intended to make such an impression with the F1, designing without fear of cost, only with fear of weight.
The F1 was the first road car to be built with a carbon fibre chassis in 1993, a substance 5 times stronger than aluminium and significantly lighter. McLaren pioneered Formula 1′s first ever carbon fibre monocoque in 1981 with the MP4-1, and since chief engineer Gordon Murray’s concerns were with weight and performance rather than keeping to any kind of budget, other expensive and high-tech materials such as titanium, magnesium, kevlar and gold (which lines the engine bay to effectively deflect heat) were… [ Read more ]
