Really? Do you seriously think anyone give's a rat's ass what some one who would put this on a RR, picks?
Oh that's right, HighestofHigh wants to put chrome wheels on a Rolls-Royce. That must discredit his opinion because Sunny says so. Grow up!
Yea, same reason why not many care about what this dude's opinion is on what is fashionable. Deal with it.
I don't have to deal with nothing. Are you here to talk about cars or play games with me? Seriously? This thread is about the McLaren F1 vs. TVR Cerbera Speed 12, yet your busy worrying about what I said two weeks ago in another thread. Get a new hobby.
Ok guys lets stop now. No shit is coming. Mclaren is an icon and legend and no one can take that away from McLaren F1.
Why would anyone in their right mind ever vote for the TVR? the McLaren without even the slightest of doubt. No offense Sunny, but that is one of the most ignorant posts I've ever read on this forum. That was certainly uncalled for and very uncivilized.
It's obvious why to vote for the TVR. You can use its rear bumper as a picnic table, this is why it is vastly superior to the McLaren, which is only the best sportcar ever produced.
None taken. Yea it was harsh, but then again it is not like I used anything personal to ridicule him, it is what he himself posted on a public forum.
^^Excuses as usual! The TVR is ugly. I completely agree with that. Then again I don't like the McLaren F1. IMO as long as the Bugatti Veyron is in the picture the McLaren is a useless car to me.
The philosophy behind the McLaren F1 road car was simple - to build the finest driver's car ever built, or ever likely to be built. The McLaren F1 set a new benchmark in supercar design, delivering outstanding performance and handling as a result of intelligent engineering and the most cutting-edge Formula One technology at the time. As the world's first production road car to feature an all carbon composite monocoque and body structure the F1 heralded a new era in the transfer of Formula One technology to the road. The McLaren F1 set a new benchmark in supercar design, delivering outstanding performance and handling as a result of intelligent engineering and the most cutting-edge Formula One technology at the time. This engine powered McLaren to victory at Le Mans on its debut in 1995 and to several FIA GT championships... In 1995, the McLaren F1 cemented its place in history by winning the Le Mans endurance race at the first attempt. Not only did the F1 GTR finish first, it also occupied 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th places when the flag came down after 24 gruelling hours. In the summer of 1999 at RAF Alconbury, a disused airbase in Cambridgeshire, UK the McLaren F1 LM set a new acceleration record from 0-100-0 mph. With Andy Wallace once again behind the wheel of a McLaren F1, the LM smashed the previous record by setting a time of 11.5 seconds. WORLD SPEED RECORD - Driven by racing driver, Andy Wallace, the F1 took just one attempt to raise McLaren's previously unofficial mark of 231mph set at Nardo in 1993. On the third run the car reached a phenomenal 240.1mph (or 386.7kph) smashing the previous record of 212mph held by a Jaguar XJ220. Incredibly the McLaren F1 held the record of the world's fastest production car for over 7 years. XP5 is undoubtedly the most renowned McLaren F1 road car. Built in 1993 and painted in Silverstone Green, XP5 was used for marketing events and press drives. Featured in countless magazines, XP5 is immediately recognisable not only by its unique colour but also its iconic number plate K8 MCL. Not only did XP5 become the fastest road car on the planet but it also went on to break further records. On December 16th 1998 XP5, driven by Peter Taylor, an independent test and development engineer broke the high-speed circuit record at MIRA averaging 168mph round the 2.82 mile banked circuit with a maximum speed of 196.2mph. In March 1999 BBC's Top Gear, in conjunction with McLaren Automotive, set a new UK closed circuit record in aid of the Comic Relief charity. Driven by Tiff Needell, XP5 once again sensationally set the fastest lap record of a British circuit averaging 195.3mph round the two mile banked circuit at Millbrook proving ground in Bedfordshire. PRODUCTION - The McLaren F1's carbon monocoque body comprised 48 individual hand laid mouldings bonded together. The monocoque was produced at the Shalford facility taking approximately 3,000 hours to complete before being painted and transferred to the Genesis facility for assembly. There, the F1 was painstakingly assembled to the highest quality standards by the greatest trained technicians and craftsmen. Since every McLaren F1 was entirely unique and customised to the exact preferences of the owner, each car took no fewer than 750 hours to assemble. You can find used ones for sale with a price of 2,2–3,0 million dollars. 100 Greatest Cars Nominees - Mclaren F1 , first place McLaren Automotive - The Official Website ------------------------------ Now tell me, what achievements TVR Cerbera Speed 12 (and the company) has done and whats so special with it compare to Mclaren F1.
