This is estimate I calculated many years ago using neural network. (LLMs didn't exist back then).

The actual curb weight of any F1 is around 1250 kg, every car that is serviced at Woking is put on the scales.

Until the 750S (in the case of supercars) and the W1 (in the case of hypercars), this one was the only McLaren-badged vehicle to ever offer a limited-slip differential.

How is my McLaren F1 build?
wallenieswiftie 2y ago
Nurburgring Nordschleife lap time: 8:06.28 at the 20.8-kilometer variant of this track, this time with a more realistic supercar body + some interior work resembling the McLaren F1.
+600kg constant downforce (33% front : 67% rear)
75% braking power (front and rear)
Remember, this was the '90s. Cars didn't feature as much tire and braking technology back then.
Lap starts at 3:21.

MY BEST AND FINAL LAP TIME AT THE NURBURGRING NORDSCHLEIFE with the McLaren F1: 8:01.20 (very comparable to the real-life results of the Bugatti EB110 SS and Lamborghini Diablo GT)

This car is the most popular car on FastestLaps.com; its even more popular than the AMG ONE.
RickyAstle98 2y ago
For those who still thinking about 20.3 seconds to 300KPH
The acceleration testing session was done w/passenger w/6mph tailwinds and propably half fuel tank, Japanese loves doing that! Just think about, how cold air and 3% downhill can make a difference for 600HP/1200KG car?
Japanese logic > minus 0.3 to higher numbers as rollout (compensation)
300-320kph@4.6s
0-300kph@20.6s
0-320kph@25.2s
300-320kph @ 4.6s
VOILA
