Many sports cars of the older generation are now being changed into new and innovative designs fit for the 21st century. The 2011 McLaren MP4-12C tackles both the authenticity of McLaren cars and taking F1 design to a new level.

The 2011 McLaren MP4-12C has many fresh features that will excite aficionados of the brand. Every part of the sports car is manufactured and designed by the car company itself. The chassis is now made using a Carbon MonoCell called 12C MonoCell. The structure is more slender than former models, which in turn allows the car to be maneuvered and positioned easier on the road. It uses a 3.8 litre M838T engine. This engine produces a horsepower of about 600 because of its V8 twin turbochargers. It is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of more than 200 mph. The price will range between £125,000 and £175,000.

Lightness is integrated into the design of the car. This can be seen in various parts all over the car. The chassis made out of the 12C MonoCell lowers the weight of the car. This also limits the area between the driver and passenger seats, which then makes the body more compact and light. The use of forged aluminum hubs for brakes reduces car mass by 8 kilograms. The car also uses a condensed engine which reduces the length and weight of the vehicle.

With all these features and design ingenuity, it is clear that the 2011 McLaren MP4-12C has the makings of a classic.

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.

Mansory McLaren SLR Renovatio

Mansory McLaren SLR Renovatio is based off of the Mercedes-Benz super car. But it features many replacement carbon fiber pieces, lighter wheels and a new body kit. Mansory upgraded its supercharger and intercoolers. Mansory Renovatio was designed keeping in mind individual design as well as aerodynamic efficiency. Its body components were made out of carbon so as to save weight.

The 5.5 liter V8 engine with its standard 626 hp benefited from the new changes. The Mansory engineers used new high performance compressors and tailor-made intercoolers. The finishing touches are a sports air filter and modified engine management. As a result the Renovatio is two tenths faster from zero to 100 km/h than the super sports car production model. The top speed increases to 340 kph. Following the alterations the Renovatio has 700 HP and generates 880 Nm torque on the crankshaft.

Mansory provides a special wheel-tire combination for the Renovatio. The one-piece turbine-wheels with five double-spokes, 9 x 20 at the front and 11.5 x 20 at the rear, are impressive for their sporting looks as well as their outstanding workmanship. The reduction of the unsprung mass due to the especially light forged wheels improves braking distance, acceleration and handling.

The leather processed for the interior by master craftsmen is extraordinarily soft. This characteristic natural product with its special grain and the perfect craftsmanship of its fancy stitching convey an exquisite flair around the redesigned sports steering wheel. The aluminum pedals, illuminated door tread plates and real carbon applications complete the luxurious overall look of the Renovatio.
