Mr Bean destr�i sua McLaren F1

Lembram que eu falei que Rowan Atkinson, o Mr. Bean, tinha uma McLaren F1 com 37.000 km rodados. Pois � tinha. O ator brit�nico sofreu um acidente e foi hospitalizado depois de ter perdido o controle do seu McLaren F1, na noite de quinta-feira.

O McLaren F1 era avaliado em 800 mil euros, Rowan Atkinson rodou v�rias vezes na estrada antes de bater em uma �rvore e num sinal de tr�nsito incendiando-se em seguida. O acidente aconteceu na A605 de Haddon, perto de Cambridge.

Rowan Atkinson saiu do carro sozinho e esperou pela a ambul�ncia com um outro condutor que passava no local. Ele sofreu apenas uma les�o num ombro, e foi obrigado a passar a noite no hospital.

McLaren melhora MP4-12C ap�s cr�ticas

Esportivo n�o foi recebido com entusiasmo pela m�dia



A McLaren realizar� algumas modifica��es no MP4-12C, como resposta �s cr�ticas da imprensa especializada de que o carro n�o oferece tanto prazer ao dirigir quanto sua ficha t�cnica faz sugerir.
Segundo o site da revista Autocar, as principais altera��es ser�o realizadas no tempo de resposta do acelerador e no som que sai dos escapamentos do b�lido. As modifica��es, no entanto, ser�o ativadas somente com o modo �Track� ativado.
Um porta-voz da McLaren se apressou em negar que o MP4-12C recebeu as melhorias por conta das cr�ticas da m�dia e disse que as novidades j� faziam parte do planejamento da empresa. �N�s queremos que os motoristas aproveitem o carro ainda mais. As mudan�as n�o o fazem andar mais r�pido, mas aumentam a adrenalina quando se est� ao volante dele�, declarou.

2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars

2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars
Rookie luxury automobile designer and manufacturer, McLaren GT, unveiled the 2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars and plans to the high-performance sports car market and the supercar automobile arena for a 2011 development programme, a new race car manufacturer which brings together the expertise of McLaren Racing, McLaren Automotive and CRS Racing.
2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars
The new 2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars will be the first McLaren car built for FIA GT series racing since the McLaren F1 GTR finished production in 1997. The 2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars is based on the new MP4-12C high-performance sports car and a team of engineers, designers and test drivers with vast experience in Formula 1 and GT racing has been assembled to undertake the process of adapting the carbon chassis-based 12C to racing specification.
2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars
Emerging from a strategic tie-up with Mercedes-Benz that brought the limited production SLR McLaren sports cars between 2003-2009, McLaren GT has now developed its own flagship high-octane sports car scheduled to be launched in time for 2011 GT3 season—and rightfully so, given the long and illustrious race car pedigree quintessential to the McLaren brand. But the design, engineering and testing team at McLaren GT are not resting on their Laurels by keeping to their comprehensive development program so that the 2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars meets the discerning standards of the most formidable race car connoisseur.
2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars
Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren Group Chief Executive Officer said: "McLaren has racing in its blood and it was a natural step to take our MP4-12C road car and turn it into the most reliable, efficient and easy to drive GT3 car. Every car on the grid will have its performance balanced by race rules, meaning our objective must be to select a technical specification that ensures any driver is able to access the 12C GT3's performance limit with ease. "We have worked with CRS Racing to ensure the 12C's design and development programme is as close as possible to one McLaren Racing would employ in developing a Formula 1 car. The team at CRS is well qualified to shape decisions in this area as they have an outstanding record in racing GT3 cars, and understand what is required to be successful in that level of competitive motorsport.
2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars
"In return, McLaren Racing is able to bring new levels of technology to GT3 racing. No other GT3 car in 2012 will be supplied with a road-car carbon chassis, or a steering wheel and other associated technology from a Formula 1 car. "The 2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars will be supplied with the 12C's carbon MonoCell and the same steering wheel design employed by Lewis Hamilton in his MP4-24 Formula 1 car. Plus, we are working closely with Formula 1 suppliers past and present: Akebono, Mobil 1, McLaren Electronic Systems, Ricardo and Michelin for example. This blend of road car and Formula 1 technology and experience will be a great advantage to anyone racing a 12C GT3 in 2012."
2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars
The simple beauty of the McLaren MP4-12C supercar is romantically fitted for auto racing. Built around the same MonoCell chassis as the street version, the GT3 version of the 2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars utilizes the lightweight but enduring construction produced through Resin Transfer Molding. Doors to the race-purpose, driver-oriented interior proceeds to rise in the same majestic style as the exotic production car. With only minor aerodynamic additions under the GT3 category rules, the race-fitted MP4-12C exterior has been modified with exclusive carbon fiber pieces. A front splitter underneath special front fender louvers, rear diffuser and door blade are all unique touches to the 2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars.
2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars
Though the 2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars is already a tempting high-performance creation for the street, the vehicle vital mechanicals require an entire refitting to meet the rigors of auto racing. To best suit the GT3 class rules, engine power from the MP4-12C GT3’s energetic 3.8 liter twin-turbocharged powerplant has been reduced by almost 100 horsepower. Producing roughly 592 horsepower, engineers of the detuned 2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars are actually excited to see how the produced-based mechanics will perform in race competition.
2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars is a special 6-speed sequential transmission. Weighing 80 kilograms (just under 176.4 pounds) than the street version‘s 7-speed gearbox, the special sports car transmission is developed by the reputable hands of Ricardo. A diverse British-based engineering firm with history going back to 1927, Ricardo other contributions to motorsports includes co-development of the Xtrac used by Formula 1 teams. Completing the performance trim of the race car, Akebono-supplied brake calipers and Michelin tires are fitted to the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 supercar.
2011 McLaren Sport Cars MP4-12C GT3 Racing Cars
This performance-balanced light-weight race car is innovative in engineering design specs: 12 C GT3 (de-tuned to 500 PS providing maximum power) and a 3.8-liter twin turbochargers ‘M838T’ McLaren V8 engine (with a power output of up to 493 HP) defined by a TAG-400 self-contained compact engine system and data logger for race cars designed and produced by McLaren Electronic Systems. To date, initial demands for the first 20 McLaren GT3 units exceed earlier expectations. CRS Racing will build, sell and support the GT3 cars 12C in close collaboration with McLaren. Leicestershire-based racing team has a strong pedigree in GT racing in Le Mans Series, FIA GT Championship, the International GT Open and the British GT Championship. CRS also run two successful single-seater team: in Formula Renault UK Championship and as Atech CRS in Series GP3.

Designer: Gordon Murray

O McLaren F1 � um carro super desportivo, constru�do de 1991 at� 1998. Por duas vezes bateu o recorde de ve�culo de rua mais r�pido do mundo: de 1994 a 1998, com 374 km/h; e de 1998 a 2005, com 386,5km/h. Tal recorde foi poss�vel gra�as � sua aerodin�mica revolucion�ria, a sua leveza (o seu chassis � de fibra de carbono, material de alta resist�ncia e leveza e seu motor � feito em alum�nio. Tais fatores, contribuem para que o carro pese "apenas" pouco mais que uma tonelada.) e ao seu motor incrivelmente bem ajustado. Tamb�m h� um registo documentado em v�deo, do carro alcan�ando a absurda velocidade de 391 km/h, tendo como velocidade m�xima no veloc�metro, 400 km/h.

Em 2005 o seu recorde foi batido pelo sueco Koenigsegg CCR, que fez 395 km/h, e no mesmo ano o CCR foi batido pelo franc�s Bugatti Veyron com 407,5 km/h. Em 2007, houve nova batida de recorde pelo americano Ultimate SSC Aero, com 411 km/h. Em 2010, o recorde foi novamente batido, desta vez pelo Buggatti Veyron Super Sport, que alcan�ou 437,07 Km/h.

Carro�aria

O McLaren F1 pode ser usado como carro de passeio, e at� a sua suspens�o � macia. A sua carroceria � de um monocoque extremamente r�gido e resistente, o que torna o carro muito veloz em rectas e capaz de fazer curvas como um [monoposto] de [F�rmula 1].

O carro custava 1 milh�o de libras no lan�amento (hoje, por ser um �cone de esportividade, beleza e tamb�m por j� n�o ser fabricado, o carro pode custar uns incr�veis � 2 Milh�es), mas mesmo por esse pre�o incrivelmente louco a McLaren n�o obteve lucro. O seu pre�o de produ��o era muito alto, e pouqu�ssimas pessoas podiam compr�-lo. No final, a McLaren acabou por vender menos do que esperava.

Apesar do design ser do inicio da d�cada de 90, ainda passa a impress�o de ser bastante actual. � sem d�vida um dos designs de desportivo e mais belos. As suas formas inspiram velocidade.

Interior


Interior do McLaren F1. Repare que o condutor fica no meio do carro.

Uma caracteristica deste carro � que o Mclaren ao contrario dos dois bancos que costumavam ter os carros "desta categoria", o Mclaren F1 tem 3 bancos onde o condutor ficava no meio e os 2 passageiros ao lado, ainda tem bagagem, e o condutor pode abrir as portas sem sair do banco, porem a entrada no carro � "um pouco complicada".

Motor

Gordon Murray queria que o motor tivesse 600mm de comprimento (com todos os equipamentos montados), n�o fosse turbinado, ou seja aspirado, pesasse at� 240 kg e que produzisse mais de 550cv.

Foram convidadas duas empresas para fabricar o motor: a Honda e a BMW. A Honda alegou que n�o tinha interesse no projeto; j� a BMW, al�m de aceitar o desafio, superou as expectativas de Murray: ao inv�s dos 550 cv pedidos, o motor tinha 627 cv.

O cofre do motor e parte do sistema de escape recebeu o revestimento de ouro puro 24 quilates. A aplica��o do ouro, neste caso, n�o se deve a uma extravag�ncia: esse material � um �timo isolante t�rmico e arrefece com facilidade, algo necess�rio quando o motor � uma verdadeira bomba de for�a.

2010 McLaren F1 20th Anniversary

2010 McLaren F1 Front Side View 2010 McLaren F1 20th Anniversary

2010 McLaren F1 is celebrating its twentieth birthday. And to celebrate, McLaren invited owners out to Woking for a dinner at its Technology Center. The highlight of the get-together has to have been the 21-car F1 roundup, featuring the largest collection of F1s ever seen together.

The F1 is a technological tour-de-force and a real triumph in terms of packaging and design. McLaren chairman (and anti-Bugatti spokesman) Ron Dennis was on-hand to express his own feelings about owning and driving the car.

After conducting tests, racing or on road, it is supremely fast, agile and yet comfortable. Its styling is enduring and will never fade. The F1 remains one of McLaren’s proudest achievements.

Over its twenty years on Earth, the F1 has spawned 72 road cars (64 F1s, 5 F1 LMs, and 3 F1 GTs), 28 racers (F1 GTRs), and 6 other prototypes. The F1 GTR took just three months to develop, and the 28 examples McLaren built were big time winners: the 1995 GT1 Championship and the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans (1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 13th places), both its debut seasons.
