VIDEO: McLaren F1 Hammering Up Some Alps

Having Fun in a McLaren F1 In the Alps

From F1 inspired telemetry to one of the best V12 engines of all time, the McLaren redefined an era of supercars and moved the game on so far it was barely conceivable at the time.

The team wanted a naturally aspirated engine. McLaren settled on a BMW-designed 6.0 liter V12 engine that weighs in at 266 kilograms and generates 627 horsepower. We know the performance on paper (epic), but what was it like to drive? Sadly, most of us will never know, but for the lucky chap in this video I am sure it looks like a lot of fun.

Sit back and enjoy the video.
