F1 McLaren F1 Goes Up in Flames


The McLaren F1 is a sports car designed and manufactured by McLaren Cars and powered by the BMW S70/2 V12 engine, of which a limited number were produced. On 31 March 1998, the XP5 prototype with a modified rev limiter set the Guinness World Record for the world's fastest production car, reaching 240.1 mph (386.4 km/h), surpassing the Jaguar XJ220's 217.1 mph (349.4 km/h) record from 1992 achieved with an increased rev limit and catalytic converters removed.

A 1995 McLaren F-1 Coupe was destroyed today after the engine caught fire. The owner had not driven the car in 6 months which probably explains why it had engine problems. There were only about 64 street-legal Mclaren F1's produced and at least 4 have been destoyed in crashes. This one happened on Airport Blvd in Santa Rosa, CA.

A reminder, always let your Mclaren warm up fully before you take out on the the streets , if not this will be your outcome.

Ouch! That's gonna hurt.

The chassis seems repairable. But I'm not so sure about the engine. Aluminium engine blocks cannot stand up to fire. Hopefully the fire was put out speedily after the fire.
