The McLaren F1 in Forza Motorsport 4

Doing like what The Stig does...


The McLaren F1 costs half-a-million Pounds when it came out in the public in 1993, and an engine bay lined in gold, essential driving position, and more power than you can ever imagine. It has a top speed of over 240mph, making it the fastest production car in the 1990's, serving this as an inspiration for Bugatti to create the Veyron. If the McLaren F1 didn't exists, the Bugatti Veyron was not existed. Unlike the Bugatti Veyron, the McLaren F1's 6.1L V12 BMW engine is Naturally Aspirated. It does not have safety features such as traction control and anti-lock brakes, making it one heck of a dangerous ride if you're not careful but who cares? This is the first carbon fiber bodied car. Of course, if you don't mind, I would be heading to the Police Box (Doctor Who's time machine) and go back to the 1990's when Top Gear was a bit more boring, Jeremy Clarkson's hair was still black and a little bit more afro, The Stig wasn't born yet, and of course, the old Top Gear presenters are far too many.

It was featured in "old" Top Gear when Tiff Needell test drives the McLaren F1 round the Millbrook  Proving Grounds in Bedfordshire. Although, Tiff Needell was impressed by the McLaren F1's performance, I disagreed however on his opinions. Besides, "old" Top Gear is boring and Top Gear with The Stig on it is better. Better to watch, better to re-enact, and better to laugh at. Okay, in the Series 13 episode of Top Gear, the McLaren F1 faces off against the Bugatti Veyron in a drag race in Abu Dhabi. As a matter of fact, the McLaren F1 has a better 0-60 time but the Veyron is better in a flat-out.

Hey! I was right! There was
a Kenwood on it!

The McLaren F1 makes it a perfect debutante in Forza Motorsport 4. Not only you can race with it, you can also explore more about the wondrous facts about the McLaren F1 via Autovista or even hear Jeremy Clarkson's comments about the McLaren F1. This is the sportscar that was built without compromise.
