Before people critiqued Nurburgring times for modern supercars, there was controversy regarding the F1's curb weight figure. It was supposedly in the 1270-1290kg range as far as actual curb weight figures go. I don't really agree because Road & Track tested an Ameritech model and reported 1288kg (2840lb) for the US-regulated and grey-market import version of the F1 model.

Even with a manual transmission, the F1 fell in-between an Enzo and a Veyron as far as straight-line performance figures went in average magazine testing. In some cases, the F1 is also faster than especially the US-spec Veyron. It's just as fast as the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo, the Ultima GTR 720, and post-2003 Koenigsegg CC models.

I can admit, however, that the dry weight figure is not much less at 1100kg. As a lightweight supercar with barely any tech features, its curb weight is only 40kg heavier (and that's not uncommon; we've seen that even in modern Lotus sports cars).

An F1 is not a BMW any more than a Zonda or Huayra is a Mercedes. Btw, NEITHER automaker has made a true supercar in the $200-500k range. Not counting grand tourers. Audi is far ahead of the game!

A stock car will never be able to hit those top speeds.

They shoot these videos with racebox and they will not tell you everything is upgraded.

Brakes also suck.

Mr Bean crashed in his several times and could have ended up dead.

I would choose this over any mclaren

This car is supposed to do 391 kph? Another source with modified car? ;)

May as well call it sauce at this point

McLaren F1 goes "JDM" and destroys Toyota Supra!😂

This forum has FULL scans of the original Autocar and Motor test from 1994.

Nothing else to say. It's historically significant.

Although I've stated my number current 1, the GOAT is the Mclaren F1. No if's what's or buts! I'm undecided about the T50 a little. This no comparison..

video one of three, there are test line-ups that are worse ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIqANh0vraU

McLaren F1 is one of the best cars of all time and one of my personal favorites. But still, justice requires putting everything in its place.
There is too much incorrect data on this page that gives an erroneous impression about the capabilities of this car.
Therefore, some points need to be corrected:

1) Top speed.
McLaren F1 speed records-371 km / h Autocar, 386 km / h in Ehra-Lessien, 372 km / h in Nardo, etc., all set by prototypes - XP-3, XP-5 etc. The standard stock McLaren F1 hit 7500 rpm rev limiter at about 360 km/h (which was still a record for the time).

2) Lap time at the Estoril track.
It looks very impressive considering that there were 3 people in the car, and laptime is in the same league with C6 ZR-1 and GT-R. But in fact, the track underwent significant changes in 1999 and these times are not comparable.

https://www.racingcircuits.info/europe/portugal/estoril.html

I looked at the laptimes of DTM cars in these configurations, and they differ by about 6-7%. Therefore, we can assume that in a modern configuration, F1 lap time would be approximately on par with the Civic Type R FK2, which in general is also quite impressive for a 1994 car with two passengers on board.

3) Lap time at the Bedford track.
The tested car, which showed a faster time than Enzo, was not a stock car. It had Flemke modified suspension and brakes, custom made BBS wheels, and wider tires Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 245/35ZR19 & 345/35ZR19.

To have all detail you need to read pistonheads topic

At the laptime page, we need to make an appropriate note.

4) Estimated lap times.
I don’t know how these figures were obtained, by some sort of calculation or by simulation in the Assetto Corsa, but 7: 18 on the Nordschleife and other laptimes in my opinion look very difficult to achieve for a car with brakes and tire technology of 1994. Perhaps F1 LM could make it, but for a standart F1, the numbers are unrealistic.

I hope this message will not go unnoticed.

If someone understand japan, please look at this test. Is it stock F1?

Gordon Murray was the genius behind the F1 and he's doing a successor, the T50!

These acceleration times should be fake, a car from '93 can't be that fast! :O

0-300 in 22 sec is still too fast today, is awesome, real race engine for the street.

F1 has incredible acceleration because it weighs only 1150 kg and has a power of 620 hp or 545 hp / t. The modern Porsche 918 has a power ratio of 520 hp / t. F1 is a very light supercar with a powerful engine, all modern supercars weigh more than 1600 kg

Looking back to this page, I don't think the F1 that did 10.8 was stock. Maybe it had a tune. 0-300kph in 20sec is ridiculous for anything less than 700 hp with a 0.32*19.2 drag area

Nice so its fastest quarter mile time is 10.8s it even beats Enzo and Carrera GT in that test.

This supercar is such an incredible machine. Easily one of the greatest true supercar ever made. Still one of the best looking supercar. V12 N/A with that level of performance in the 90's. Mind-boggling.

Simple gear shift would explain

100-200 km/h and 200-300 km/h times are absolutely astounding even nowadays. But 180-200 km/h = 1,5s and 200-220 km/h = 1,3s ? Maybe gearing ?
