McLaren P1 (2014)

 

Car Barn Sport | McLaren P1 (2014) | We believe , never did that McLaren P1 ™ is the most exciting , capable, technologically advanced and fastest supercar achieved," says Program Director ™ , Paul Mackenzie McLaren P1 . Moreover , many homeowners will be the car on the track , and the special day of the test " track. Includes adjustable suspension incredible technology developed for active aerodynamics and McLaren P1 ™ - is now banned in Formula 1 to see should give a performance advantage . The air flow is optimized by the body as " the use of wing devices and assets basement. Extender adjustable rear spoiler 120mm body on the way up to 300 mm on the track , maximizing production levels . The active chassis control revolutionary career (RCC ) can lower the car by 50 mm in career mode to create support. 1 inspired technology permeates McLaren Formula P1 ™ . The new fiber monocoque carbon Monkey Cage revolutionary form a complete structure that integrates the roof of the vehicle and its characteristic air intake - a design feature inspired by the McLaren F1 road. McLaren is a recognized technology leader in the global carbon . The body parts of the McLaren P1 ™ has also coordinated lightweight and durable carbon composite with complex shapes for optimal aerodynamics.

McLaren P1 ™ has been designed from the outset to focus on aerodynamic performance - just like a Formula 1 car . As one car, formula tunnel tests and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) models were used to optimize the aerodynamic airflow and provide incredible levels of production and to cool the engine . The result is a downforce of 600 kg at a much lower rate than the maximum value ( 257 kmh / 161 mph) in career mode , which produces significantly higher than most luxury cars and high performance levels compatible with production GT3 racing car. This improves the output curves of the car, especially in high speed corners . Other areas of technology, obviously the McLaren Formula 1 ™ P1 includes revolutionary ceramic brakes carbon layers developed through Formula 1 partner McLaren Akebono . The IPAS very effective (Instant Power Assist System) is a development of KERS ( Kinetic Energy Recovery System ) used in Formula 1 cars , while DRS ( drag reduction system ) is used on the McLaren P1 ™ , which allows for more power and speed is flat with the touch of a button . Brake Steer A law outside Formula 1 technology - is used in the McLaren P1 ™ IPAS motor gasoline electric is the following Formula 1 regulations. From next year ( 2014 ) , is the Formula 1 cars with hybrid electric mode wells . McLaren P1 ™ name is inspired by Formula 1. McLaren F1 was first known internally as Project 1 or P1 . Despite the strong performance , McLaren supercar P1 ™ has also created a high-speed style and comfortable. " It was designed to be used on the track, with excellent comfort and sophistication ," said McLaren P1 ™ program director Paul Mackenzie . Add chief designer Dan Parry -Williams: " It is fast on the track, but is still fast , comfortable and stylish in the way.

The ownership experience McLaren P1 ™ is as special as the car itself , said Greg Levine, McLaren Automotive Head of Sales and Marketing : " The owners are part of the McLaren family if they are not in keeping . McLaren P1 ™ is more than a design made , and how McLaren . Everything is designed for a reason, like a Formula 1 car . Design two-seater mid-engine reflects the aerodynamic requirements are necessary to achieve the ambitious goal of the output. The priority was high speed performance with great composure , which usually come from the combined aerodynamic condition - art wanted a car that was connected and predictable at any speed There are only five main areas: a front body , front hood , rear doors . McLaren P1 ™ is extremely low ( 1138 mm in height in career mode ) having a front surface well below the ( already low ) 12C and the smallest of all other production supercar . The incredibly low back thigh and rear emphasize the design pronounced "reduced" and effective packaging. Especially , the design provides excellent airflow to the adjustable rear wing off . This evolved from the current principles of Le Mans car. This design involved very intensive detailed engineering , aerodynamics CFD simulation of aerodynamic efficiency and cooling. overall performance and the integrity of the design .  Closely with Parry - Williams, Design Director Frank Stephenson wanted a car that Super " very nice and honest dramatically in line with the legacy of McLaren , " It's amazing , but also functional , a real intention was that I wanted a machine. " , but also to the forefront of automotive design . It is also more aggressive rear diffuser never on a street car. Like everything in McLaren P1 ™ is for good reason . The front panel is particularly low. Visibility has always been a mantra McLaren .

The " Hammer" style nose looks spectacular , giving the car a low and wide , but, as with everything in the car , also has an important functional role. Design is used to provide air circulation to two radiators before low temperature, which for performing turbo powertrain fresh air and gasoline engine electrical system IPAS . Thin LED headlamps , "style speed mark in a" give excellent lighting , but are also very space efficient , optimizing the " McLaren front surface can be used for cooling. This hot air Noses ' s , so that cold air feed to own the right to snorkel on the roof of the engine intake channel. " This signature graphic that highlights the extreme edge of the body of the pilot prototype was inspired sports Stephenson said . , The rear of the car is completely open to allow cooling, and extraction of the turbulent air on the rear wheel housings and to give the air stream. Stephenson said he has developed two cars in the history of the brand , as he and his team was the McLaren P1, inspired ™ : the legendary McLaren F1 road car of 1993 and the championship , winning Lewis Hamilton Formula 1 2008 , the MP4 -23 . He explains: " The 2008 season was" last year are Formula 1 cars have all aerodynamic . Take the car and sticks influenced the style of the McLaren P1 ™ . Each channel and make a work surface, either by air or cooling " . The McLaren F1 road car was a vehicle Stephenson tries " to remember, but not to imitate. air inlet is located in the monkey cage carbon fiber. Dihedral doors P1 ™ are instrumental McLaren surprisingly aerodynamic performance of the car . " Complex shape helps air duct on the side mounted radiator, and also reduces the overall turbulence of the side of a machine learning .

McLaren has been actively engaged with potential customers in the last month to get his thoughts on the McLaren P1 ™ , the style of the car. McLaren P1 ™ as unusual results in the form of production with little change . McLaren has closely followed the demand to maintain exclusivity and announced a production run of only 375 units . McLaren P1 ™ is an innovative technology and services, but also optimizes the driver and emotions connected with sensory enhancements , the driver feels like a part of the car and on the road after her. fashion and sport, normal car racing - with a real crescendo to the track direction - User targeted attack , and you really feel part of the car . McLaren Automotive Technical Director Carlo Della Casa said: " McLaren P1 ™ is unique because it is unfiltered experiences and emotions go directly to the driver , and is a great source of satisfaction. McLaren P1 ™ has a powerful engine, but very fuel that provides excellent throttle response . High levels of energy are crucial for the machine to deliver the performance requirement : be faster on a track than any other production road car . Energy efficiency has always been a McLaren mantra - High performance is the hallmark of quality engineering . The gasoline engine twin-turbo V8 and electric motor - mid-mounted engine , just behind the cab - are valued at 916PS (900 hp) and 900 nm, with emissions below 200g/km . Transmitting power to the rear wheels via a gearbox seven-speed double clutch driven. 'E' looks pretty cold in silence, in a McLaren million dollars , "says Paul Mackenzie , director of the Project on McLaren P1 ™ . IPAS , developed by McLaren to provide a capacity of up to 179HP (176 hp) electric motor , and can be implemented with the touch of a button mounted on the steering wheel . The twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 petrol engine McLaren P1 ™ is a new version of M838T , flame M838TQ . The motor unit is integrally , for integrating the electric motor and to impart rigidity .

The gasoline engine only produces 737PS (727 bhp) at 7500rpm and 4000rpm torque 720nm . Of course , the engine has a dry sump lubrication , like a Formula 1 car , and a low floor apartment crankshaft - to lower the center of gravity . The instantaneous motor torque and IPAS The single electric motor produces 179HP (176 hp) and 130 Nm of torque - even if , as directed by a multiple of two , a couple of actual performance of 260 nm. E ' was developed by the electronic branch of the McLaren Group and McLaren is unique in the P1 ™ . Like all electric motors can generate maximum torque immediately , which significantly increases the throttle response of the McLaren P1 ™ . The electric motor and gasoline 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 then work together seamlessly , serving both the immediate response and high peak power . The electric motor has an internal rotor cooling - unusual for an electric motor vehicle engine - which enables the engine to deliver maximum performance for long periods , and an outer coating is also used for additional cooling of the electric motor. The electric motor of the McLaren P1 ™ weighs 26 kg and produces more than twice the KERS power unit used in Formula 1 ( 82hp to 179HP ) .

McLaren MP4-12C Spider (2013)

 

Car Barn Sport | McLaren MP4-12C Spider (2013) | The new Spider is mechanically identical to the 12C 12C. It uses the engine 625PS update that part of the year 2013 12C update. Acceleration - 0-62 mph (100 km / h) - takes just 3.1 seconds (when used with Pirelli P Zero Corsa), the same as the coupe. Fuel consumption and emissions remain unchanged, the new 24.2 mpg (11.7 l/100 km) the combined cycle and 279g/km. The figures are much better than most high performance sports car convertible in line with the commitment of the McLaren fuel efficiency in its class. The maximum speed is 204 mph (329 km / h). The retractable hardtop (RHT) on 12C Spider is a fully automated system into two parts, which can be raised or lowered in less than 17 seconds at a speed up to 30 km / h (19 mph). When lowered, the roof lets in a body-color hard cover tonneau, which contains two buttresses. If the roof is up, the area may be used under the coverage of additional storage space.

The spider has a 12C heating rear window which can be actuated independently of the roof. With the roof down, the rear window is automatically moved to a position of "aero" to minimize flicker. Turning system protection system comprises a steel structure inside of each of the rear shock absorbing and occupant. To extend the changes in detail the Spider 12C both the audio and climate systems. Audio output changes when the roof is open - to compensate disturbances other - while the climate is adjusted when the roof is lowered.As with all McLaren, the 12C is a sports car spider heart," says design director Frank Stephenson. "This is not true for many - if any - other high-performance convertible. Place the roof, it looks like a coupe sports car, but also at Le Mans could be in London or Los Angeles. The retractable hardtop (RHT) has been developed specifically for the 12C spider. Light weight, high strength combined was highest importance - as in all areas of the 12C. Heated rear incorporates roof structure.

At the end of the roof to reduce the cycle completely close the window and the rear window is "aero" position, the cabin also reduces the wind. To maintain the switch when the cycle is complete and lower the rear window of the cab. Roof can, lowered the rear window to allow more engine noise in the cabin and also driving experience semi-open, even in bad weather. Display cover acts as a deflector reduces noise in the cabin. About the same mechanical spider 12C to 12C is a mid-engine two-seater rear-engined high performance sports car. This gives great advantages of weight, strength and torsional rigidity - all to improve the handling, ride comfort and performance. The MonoCell is a molded piece frame, weighs only 75 kg (165 lbs). Most convertible needs a strengthened framework to reduce flexing and more weight - has not yet been reached, but may compromise the structural integrity of a coupe These flex precise management and reduce driving comfort, while the weight of most affect the performance

The MonoCell carbon, not only in the strength and weight advantages, but also improves packaging. We started with the drivers," says design director Frank Stephenson. "With the 12C and 12C spider, the driver sits near the center line of the car, more control and driving pleasure. Pedals are positioned in reducing arc intrusion. As Spider 12C 12C visibility at the top of the category. Carbon fiber MonoCell 12C and 12C spider after more than three decades of innovation carbon McLaren. In 1981, McLaren Racing, the carbon monocoque to Formula 1 ™. The legendary McLaren F1 car drive, launched in 1992, was the first road car, a carbon fiber chassis and body. In fact, since 1981, McLaren has never been a car without a carbon frame built. Spider on the 12C and 12C profiles, mergers and aluminum are welded to the front and rear structures Abstellschablone bolted directly MonoCell. MonoCell with carbon composite lightweight panels bearing the body A redesigned glass cover maintains a magnificent panoramic view of the twin-turbo V8.

Wing "active" on the back increases the angle to increase downforce and improve braking stability and cornering performance - as with the 12C 12C Spider is the only McLaren Airbrake. "As with any other aspect of the cars we have," adding lightness', "said McLaren Automotive Chief Test Driver Chris Goodwin. The total weight of the new Spider 12C is 1474 kg, what. Overall, the 12C spider is much lighter than most convertible and a stronger and more rigid. A light structure allows designers to gain weight in the design process. Designed by McLaren Automotive, the British manufacturing M838T engine system dry sump lubrication and a crankshaft surface, the two engineers who helped put the engine low in the chassis, lowering the center of gravity and improve handling and agility have. "The 12C and 12C engine spider and lightweight, the range tracking slow-speed medium power and high speed extended range," says Richard Farquhar, Function Group Manager for Powertrain

The McLaren MP4-12C Spider, as well as the 2013 model year received 12C, the 625PS latest and most powerful (616hp) version of the engine for more intense acceleration without loss of efficiency. This system operates by controlling the engine intake noise at the selected cabin interior in different concentrations depending on the mode of the vehicle engine. To ensure that the acoustic experience is optimized for lead discovery, the exhaust has been designed to adjust the harmonics of the form 12C spider body. A sport exhaust system is available as an option, it is lighter and stronger than the available material. Information on "Powertrain" panel line dynamic active The goal with the 12C and 12C Spider executive offered comfort as driving and precision handling. Convertibles articularly fast convertible tend to impair driving performance and handling, and often with suspension settings different from those of counterparts solid head. The 12C Spider is a revelation.

The McLaren MP4-12C Spider cabin design is identical to the 12C offers a range of options for materials and colors that allow customers to customize a degree of freedom for their cars. The interior of the roof panels are RHT coating fabric or optional Carbon Black Carbon Black Alcantara. The audio system designed specifically for the Meridian 12C Spider, the British custom hi-fi specialists optimized the performance of music, depending on whether the vehicle is in motion with the top up or down. Meridian was to optimize the audio system, the development since the beginning of the car design, the sound quality. The automatic volume control (AVC) and automatic tone control (ATC) are both the spider 12C recalibrated. Individual speakers are automatically adjusted for the increase in external sound. The control system of the environment is further adapted to automatically adjust, when the roof is lowered. Air windshield is reduced and instead diverted the lower cabin prevented. Fan speed is also responsive to the vehicle speed to maintain the desired temperature. When the roof is in place, the climate parameters of 12C applied. The McLaren MP4-12C Spider will be built in the new £ 40 million McLaren Production Centre (MPC), located in Woking, Surrey, close to the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC).

It was a good car, road legal and capable of traveling at speeds supercar.  A complete CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) testing schedule ensure aerodynamic stability at high speeds, the car also completed about 625 miles of testing, including two passages of intensive testing at the circuit IDIADA in Spain with McLaren chief test driver Chris Goodwin. After a trial period, meticulously rebuilt the entire car by hand to concours standard. MSO Program Director Paul Mackenzie explains: "The X-1 showcases the skills of Special Operations McLaren. Customers want more luxury and more custom functions or individual.

All parts of the body McLaren X-1 are made of carbon and are finished in a rich piano as specified by the owner. The sides of the body are painted visual carbon fiber. "The metallic paint black or shades of colors and is one of the hardest colors to paint, but the finish is absolutely beautiful and fits perfectly in the car," adds Stephenson. Components were treated exclusively for the car. They even have a single head and taillights inspired by the McLaren logo Speed Dial. Polishing is machined from solid aluminum, and nickel coating is then applied. The McLaren logo on the nose is especially made from solid aluminum, then plated. Wheels are also unique for the X-1, and showed a colored diamond plated finish off Brightwork fill.

Even McLaren badge on the nose Speed Dial is machined from solid aluminum, then plated. McLaren rear Airbrake is machined from solid aluminum and nickel, for the rest of the polishing work to fill. Perhaps the most unusual feature is the style of the rear wheels locked, the result of the desire of the owner of a car as a result of "timeless elegance" is. Neat styling touches role in the design, such as the lighting of the license plate finished in carbon fiber, has a beautiful machined aluminum cap used for the main tank and line Finished carbon in the engine compartment. 

McLaren X-1 is 4658 mm long - 109 mm longer than one 12C. Width is 2097 mm (mirrored) - an increase of 188 mm. Although the roofline revised height remains the same, 1.199 mm. Almost identical own weight (about 1400 kg), the body panels lighter carbon compensate the greater length and width. Lightweight, like all projects McLaren, was a priority. While the basic architecture of the interior has not changed, customization includes bespoke McLaren Harissa Red Nappa leather for the seats, doors and roof trim switches and nickel-coated machined aluminum wheels Tufted carpet covered the floor Andesite special. All these changes created McLaren X-1 approval required especially for road use. The car was completely designed to be helpful and nice road.
