It twice broke the record for the fastest naturally aspirated road vehicle in the world, reaching a top speed of 386.7 km/h. This record was made possible thanks to its revolutionary aerodynamics and its lightweight of 1140 kg, due to the chassis made of carbon fiber and the aluminum engine.</p><p></p><h2 class="wp-block-heading">History</h2><p><br>In 1989, McLaren founded the McLaren Cars brand. The main goal was to create an advanced supercar that would provide a unique experience for the driver. Then, in 1991, Gordon Murray began to create this car. To start its design, several wind tunnel tests were conducted to see which shape would have the best aerodynamic performance. The position and size of the radiator, intake, positive aerodynamic pressure, brake cooling, etc., were also tested. After that, Gordon decided to design the car.</p><p></p><h2 class="wp-block-heading">Interior</h2><p></p><p>A characteristic of this car is that the McLaren, unlike the two seats that used to be in cars &#8220;of this category,&#8221; has 3 seats where the driver is in the middle and the 2 passengers are next to him.

Disiento completamente con el autor sobre la influencia del diseño del F1 en los coches modernos. Sus argumentos son debilísimos. Necesita reescribir el articulo.
No estoy de acuerdo con la conclusión del artículo. Creen que el motor es el punto más fuerte, pero yo creo que es la aerodinámica. Necesitan más evidencias!
Para los interesados, el McLaren F1 fue diseñado por Gordon Murray. Un dato clave que el articulo omite.
El artículo es muy corto y carece de profundidad. No se profundiza lo suficiente en la historia del desarrollo del vehiculo. Una lastima.
Jajajaja, me imagino al dueño del McLaren F1 intentando estacionar el coche en un aparcamiento pequeño! xD
Oh, sí, otro artículo sobre un coche que la mayoria de nosotros nunca podremos permitirnos. Que emocionante…
En serio? Este articulo es tan superficial. Parece que lo escribio un niño de 5 años. Que decepcion.
Ay, dios mio, otro articulo sobre coches caros. Espero que almenos me den un descuento si lo leo todo. jajaja es broma(o no?).
Este artículo es una basura. La información es incompleta y aburrido. Podrían haber hecho mucho mejor.
Buen artículo, aunque me hubiera gustado ver más detalles técnicos sobre el chasis. Pero en general, muy bueno.
Un dato interesante: el McLaren F1 tenía una velocidad máxima de más de 386 km/h. Increible para su época.
Guau! Increible articulo sobre el McLaren F1! Me encanto la historia y las fotos son impresionantes. De verdad, un trabajo fantastico!
