Fun Facts
1. The BMW V12 engine in the McLaren F1 was originally designed for a luxury sedan that never materialized. 2. The gold foil used in the engine bay of the real car for heat reflection was specified by Gordon Murray because gold is the most efficient reflector of infrared radiation. 3. Despite being built purely for the track, several GTRs were later converted for road use. 4. George Harrison of The Beatles owned a road-going McLaren F1 painted in custom psychedelic art.
