HII NDO VERSION MPYA YA MC LAREN
Mc laren P1 ni version mpya ambayo imeonyeshwa kwa mara ya kwa kwanza ni gari ambayo ina nguvu sana na technolojia nyingi ambayo inaweza kuishinda gari yoyote ile ya mashindano iliyowahi kutokea kama ikendeshwa inavyotakiwa kwa maelezo zaidi soma hii hapa habari.....source: YAHOOechnically, the McLaren P1 unveiled at the Paris Motor Show Thursday is just a tease of a tease. It's billed as a design prototype, the final version of which won't be seen for several months. And McLaren held back many key details about the car, such as how much power it has to offer, vowing to reveal that early next year. What we did learn was that McLaren has put its typical obsessive compulsion of racecar engineering toward building a street car that can race any other at Le Mans and win.
As the preview pictures suggested, the P1
was designed as a spiritual successor to the McLaren F1 supercar of the
'90s, down to the "snorkel" in the roof that helps cool the engine. It's
part of a concerto of scoops, strakes and vents styled by the same
engineers who handle aerodynamics for the McLaren Formula 1 team.
The result isn't just about making the car
go fast, but keeping it on the track; thanks to a massive rear wing and
two flaps that pop from the body, the car can generate an extra 1,322
lbs. of downforce at racing speeds -- which McLaren managing director
Antony Sheriff compared to having a young elephant sit on the car.
Everything about the car's exterior is meant
to shuttle air around it at speed, and McLaren says its spared no
expense in the P1's construction; it's made mostly of carbon fiber, but
there are more exotic materials mixed in, like the heat shield for the
exhaust that's coated in gold leaf. To help stop the car, the wing can
pivot down and act like an air brake -- not that the car will need them
if it keeps the brake calipers large enough to fit across the tires of
some small cars.
McLaren says the rest of the details about
the P1 will arrive at the Geneva Auto Show, with production beginning
late next year as a commemoration of McLaren's 50th anniversary.
