New Fast Sports Cars


The new McLaren F1 supercar is engineered to rewrite the records set by the F1 which caught the spotlight in 1992 as the auto world discovered its 240 mph reading on its speedometer.

Frank Stephenson, the Mclaren Automotive Design director, is said to be on the drawing boards sketching the replacement for the F1 styled by Peter Stevens.

The design team has a clean sheet to start with not worrying of any architectural limitations like those set for the P11. The McLaren team is still thinking of the direction which they should take with the new F1.

Stephenson is known for spearheading the design works for the first mini and X5 of the BMW, the MC12 of Maserati, and the rebirth of the Fiat 500.

The car designer notes the space McLaren has in building the range of production sports cars with P11 as the building block. Creativity, technology, and advancements will provide a big room in the development of new sports car for the manufacturer.
