The McLaren is already in the game. Why on earth do you want the XP5?

[matkillerkellar]

ever oust it's position? We don't think so.

The story begins in 1988 when partners of the McLaren Cars Ltd - the world's leading Formula One team, winning 15 out of 16 races - finshed their successful season and decided that they should move beyond their current program and go one step further by building the finest roadcar possible. To them, this meant developing a no comprise supercar, built with nearly endless funds to achieve the highest power to weight ratio but retain usability for everyday driving.

To meet these goals, techincal director of McLaren Gordan Murray and stylist Peter Stevens realized that the car had to be small, use the lightest components available and have a large capacity, normally aspirated V12 engine. Little did they know, this design philosophy would break many speed records and win championships it wasn't even originally intended for.

Four years after the McLaren's costly development, the first car made its official debut at the 1992 Monaco F1 week where McLaren could finally reveal to world what they had been doing. At Monaco, the targetted customer base learnt that only 100 examples would be made, and that the McLaren would be the fastest, most exclusive car in the world. These attributes and gorgeous styling helped potential clients look past the 634 500 GBP price tag and beyond competitors like the Ferrari F40, Porsche 959 and Jaguar XK220.

After its release, the F1's potential was immediately realized when it reached 0-100-0 in 11.4 seconds and a record top speed of 240.14mph in its XP5 pre-production trim. Although, the success didn't stop in the record books, as special GTR versions won Le Mans outright in 1995 and took two FIA GT World Championships.

The F1's sucess can be attributed the McLaren's Formula One expertice. The small dedicated team picked by Gordan Murray designed 5000 individual pieces which were predominantely carbon fibre, magnesium, titanium to keep minimum weights. The car's carbon fibre monocoque was the world's first and supported BMW's impressive BMW S70/2, 620 horsepower engine. This engine produced considerable heat, so the engine compartment was lined with pure gold and air conditioning came as standard. But the greatest innovation was its seating arrangement.

To show off McLaren's dedication and Formula hertage, Murray used a central drivers seat and provided an option for two seats on either side. Like a race car, this provided the best possible view and was the good example of how uncompromising the F1 was. Additionally the McLaren wasn't equiped with any driving aids which meant it lacked traction control, ABS, power brakes and power steering.

Included with the purchase of every McLaren was bevy of lush appointments including a specially designed lightweigh stereo, a tailered golf back, custom fitted luggage and the mother of all full tool boxes, used for McLaren personal to use if they needed to do remote work on the customers car. Included was a modem, which could send data directly to McLaren. With this, one customer in Germany was found to reach 200 mph almost daily on his way to and from work!

After delivering 100 customer cars McLaren stopped production after seven prototypes, 64 road cars, 5 special F1 LMs (built to commemorate victory at Le Mans in 1995), three F1 GTs (road going versions of the long tail 1997 F1 GTR race car) and 28 F1 GTR road cars. Of these, the Sultan of Brunei owns the most, and has two very special black F1 LMs with stiking Pininfaria graphics as well as an exact replica of the F1 GTR that won LeMans.

Since delevery, McLaren have stayed commited to the F1 and continue to service the many cars. Almost every car has been returned to the factory and some have received custom modifications to suit the needs of their owners. The most radical of these are the few race cars which were converted back to road cars with the most minimal of changes. Other less daring cars have treatments that include new aerodynamic packages and custom interiors. As these cars get better, they keep the F1 up to pace with modern alternatives such as the Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT and Koenigsegg CCX.

Christies on F1 #073, `Extra High Downforce'

#073, a stunning one owner example was delivered by McLaren in 1998 and this particular collector wanted a unique car which combined the best of both worlds; the performance of the LM with the internal comforts of the standard model thus giving the uncompromised option of everyday road use.

After the car was purchased, McLaren offered to undertake this extraordinary project in their workshops in Woking, England. It began with the fitment of their GTR-inspired High Downforce Package which dramatically improved high speed road holding and stability. Later additional improvement was requested to increase the aerodynamic capability of the car in an effective but visually subtle manner thus it was decided to add louvres to the tops of the front wings and balance the rear end of the car with a 4mm 'Gurney flap'. Documented testing at Bruntingthorpe proving ground in May 2000 evaluated these additions and the conclusion was the following; `The additional downforce enhances the existing levels of grip and stability and provides a great feeling of confidence and security, particularly at high speed.' In addition to this, McLaren installed larger radiators and a sports exhaust system along with a set of forged multi-spoke wheels (exclusive to this car) brandishing suitably colossal Michelin tyres all round. To complete this marvel an updated LM engine was installed; producing an astonishing 691bhp at 7500rpm and 735 NM of torque (dyno test sheet can be provided upon request) it makes a significant performance improvement. It is important to acknowledge the significance of this upgrade as there is only one other McLaren F1 roadcar with this engine.

An additional fax sent from McLaren in August 2000 complimented this astonishing car even further; McLaren's most experienced test driver commented that this car was `the ultimate F1 variant, having the best combination of performance, stability, grip and handling, whilst still being practical for road use'.

Unbelievable to think it possible for the greatest Supercar of all time, but with performance raised to an uncompromised optimum level, seemingly there could be no further necessary requirements. However thanks to the comprehensive options and upgrade packages offered by the McLaren factory to this privileged individual, it was decided to respray and retrim the car to his desired combination. A unique dark tangerine metallic colour was chosen, as the studio photography shows, the result is absolutely mesmerising and for long-term protection from stonechips Armourfend (a ultra thin, transparent film) has been applied to the most prone areas such as the nose, headlights and wing mirrors. In complimentary contrast, the interior was trimmed to 'GT specification' with a magnolia alcantara headlining and magnolia wilton carpets, the drivers seat was privileged with magnolia nubuck leather with beige alcantara inserts and the passenger seats were mirrored in beige alcantara with magnolia nubuck leather inserts. To finish and sharpen the visual appearance the dashboard was trimmed in black alcantara and black wilton overmats adorn the footwells.

Also uprated is the air conditioning system. In the cockpit there is a 14 inch leather-trimmed steering wheel and a Phillips satellite navigation system nestles in the left footwell within a custom-made carbon fibre casing. Notably the carbon fibre instrument panel incorporates a gear change light and the chassis number is engraved into the rev counter. Whilst in the car, you have the ability to listen to the stereo, the two-way radio Motorola communication system, the navigation satellite and/or converse with each other whilst on the move (with or without using the helicopter-rated intercom system and Peltor headsets). Other factory upgrades on this most select McLaren include gas discharge headlights, lightly tinted side windows and as a custom request the F1 motifs on the doors and the sides of the rear wing have been painted silver. To complete the astonishing achievement Gordon Murray himself has hand-signed this supercar on the carbon fibre area in between the chassis plate and the gear stick in silver permanent marker.

On December 2nd, 2003, Christies sold #073 for 731 250 GBP or $1 259 00 USD. At such a price this transaction has been the highest price paid at auction for a motor car in 2003.

McLaren F1 XP5 was the last prototype built. It resembles an F1 roadcar. Andy Wallace drove it to 240.14 mph on street tires, but one thing was altered: it hadthe rev limiter taken off.A top speed test of an F1 without the rev limiter taken off was done on XP3, but it hasa different engine than any other F1, so there hasn't really been a no exceptions top speed test on an F1. Anyway,XP5 is painted 'Dark Metallic Green', although in some pics itlooks black. It was used by McLaren as a promotional car. You can identify it by it's license plate, which is 'K8 MCL'.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7282272417299848915 and thats why i whant the xp5

[matkillerkellar]

* On March 31, 1998, the McLaren F1 XP5 prototype set the speed record at 391.1 km/h (243 mph) at 7800 rpm. The production models are normally limited to 7500 rpm, giving a top speed around 231 mph. The car was driven by Andy Wallace on the 9 km straight at Volkswagen's Ehra test track in Wolfsburg, Germany.
* On February 28, 2005, the Koenigsegg CCR with 806 hp (601 kW) achieved a top speed of 387.87 km/h (241.01 mph) on default settings. The car was driven on Italy's Nardo Prototipo proving ground, a circular track with a circumference of 12.5 km. This exceeded the McLaren's record.[3]
* In October, 2005, Car and Driver magazine's editor Csaba Csere test drove the final production version of the Veyron for the November 2005 issue. This test, at Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien test track, reached a top speed of 253 mph (407 km/h). The Veyron can also do 0-300 km/h (186 mph) in just under 19 seconds[4].

and dont forget there untunned

[KoenigViper]

Congratulations. You just posted every single d*mn thing I know DIRECT from McLaren's website.


Now, the reason I said what I said is this. The XP5 is exactly what the F1 was built off. THUS, there is no reason to basically have THE SAME car in the game, esp. when the one in the game can hit 245Mph stock.

Ten, can you lock this?

[the_gaming_guy]

This thread is BY FAR the most boring thread in the world................. sour:

LOCKAGE

That's gotta be a record 7 posts in a row...

[Logi3]

Kids....

Nice post, i would also like to see some of the mentioned cars in your list.

Dont see what the supprise is about a Cosworth, lots of them are tuned to 600+ BHP and can do tad of 200mph

[Axe_Gaijin]

Mhh Spam... I'd like some Eggs with ham, bacon and spam please.

But it's still an Escort. :laugh:

[matkillerkellar]

if u where that smart KoenigViper u whould have notest that the xp5 is not what the f1 was built around that is the xp1 the xp5 is the last prototype and f1 ever built standard f1 can not go as fast a the ones in the game fact and the f1 lm should be nothing like the gtr performace wise the f1 lm is are replica versions of the car the won the le mans 24hr in that year and the standerd f1s have a rev limter thats why the shouldnt go 245mph

[FifteenthNeo]

Well, when you have a look at the XBOX website it has listed Test Drive Unlimited Monthly Car Packs (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/marketplace/testdriveunlimited/carpacks.htm). SO I take it Octobers has gotta be soon then :chapeau: middle of Oct by the looks of things (six weeks after launch) 10sur10

[the_gaming_guy]

if u where that smart KoenigViper u whould have notest that the xp5 is not what the f1 was built around that is the xp1 the xp5 is the last prototype and f1 ever built standard f1 can not go as fast a the ones in the game fact and the f1 lm should be nothing like the gtr performace wise the f1 lm is are replica versions of the car the won the le mans 24hr in that year and the standerd f1s have a rev limter thats why the shouldnt go 245mph

I wish you could communicate your point better. I CAN'T READ THAT MESS.

[Sh4dow_racer]

matkillerkellar...I didn't read a single word of what you've posted...wtf is all that weirdblue ?

And by the way, we all have cars we want to see in the game => that's why threads already exist about that. Not being mean, I just don't see the point of creating a topic for it again... :wink2:

[KoenigViper]

if u where that smart KoenigViper u whould have notest that the xp5 is not what the f1 was built around that is the xp1 the xp5 is the last prototype and f1 ever built standard f1 can not go as fast a the ones in the game fact and the f1 lm should be nothing like the gtr performace wise the f1 lm is are replica versions of the car the won the le mans 24hr in that year and the standerd f1s have a rev limter thats why the shouldnt go 245mph
I can barely make that out.

2nd, the F1 is built around ALL the XPs. That's why they were Prototypes. The 2 XPs that were used as crash tests went into developing the safety. XP1 went as a concept that showed the body shape. XP2 continued this. XP5 showed what the finish product was based around. The XP5 is just a F1, it's famous only for reaching that famous 240Mph. You can set up a regular F1 that way. That's why when the XP5 was run, Guiness allowed it because it was what all the production F1s were built as.

3rd, the F1 LM IS the same performance wise as a F1 GTR '95. It only has more power. The F1 LMs are also not replicas of F1 GTRs, they ARE F1 GTRs made street legal by making minor adjustments to make it street legal and removing the air restictors off the F1 GTR engine in it.

4th, rev limiters can be removed. That's exactly how XP5 acquired 391Kmh. It had the limiter removed. If you put that back on, the XP5 becomes the same as a regular F1. Have you even see XP5? It's exactly like the F1s in every single way, but with XP5 logos.

Lastly, don't even try to insult my knowledge of the company. I'm not the one who copied and pasted the entire site.

I want the AMC Pacer & Gremlin in the game! :nuts:
