McLaren F1 LM

Front side:
The McLaren F1 LM (LM for Le Mans) was built in honor of the five McLaren F1 GTR's which won the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans.[8] Thus, only five cars were built for the road.
The weight was reduced by approximately 75 kg (165 lb) over that of original, through the removal of various pieces of trim and use of optional equipment. The car also had a different transaxle, various aerodynamic modifications, specially-designed 18-inch (457 mm) magnesium alloy wheels and upgraded gearbox. The F1 LM also used the same engine as the 1995 F1 GTR, however, without race-mandated restrictors to produce 691 PS (680 hp/508 kW). It had a top speed of 225 mph (362 km/h), which is less than the standard version due to added aerodynamic drag, despite identical gear ratios. The LM is 76 kg lighter than the stock F1 -- a total mass of 1062 kg -- this is achieved through i.a. no interior noise suppression, no audio system, a very stripped down base interior, no fan assisted ground effect and no dynamic rear wing. In the place of the small dynamic rear wing there is a considerably larger, fixed CFRP rear wing mounted on the back of the vehicle. The fact that the idle noise level inside the car is loud enough to be unable to communicate verbally is the reason for that the car comes with a headset for the driver and passenger(s) which features ear protection and a means of communication through microphone. The conventional instruments are replaced with a LED implementation which features more information than the former type.The LM machine has the following performance figures: a peak torque of 705.0 nm (520.0 ft lbs) at 4500 RPM and a peak power of 498.1 kw (668.0 bhp) at 7800 RPM, it has a redline at 8500 RPM, the total weight of 1062 kg gives the car a 110.16 bhp per litre ratio.[9]The F1 LM is regarded to be the fastest incarnation of the McLaren F1 roadcars through the gears and in overall track performance. It has a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 2.9 seconds, 0-100 mph (161 km/h) in 5.9 seconds and was once the holder of many world records, including the 0-100-0 mph record which it completed in 8.5 seconds.The F1 LMs can be identified by their Papaya orange paint. The F1 LM's were painted in this colour in memory and tribute to Bruce McLaren, whose race colour was Papaya orange. Two other models, built exclusively for the Sultan of Brunei,[citation needed] were painted black with blue and yellow graphics. An illustration was drawn by a designer who has seen the vehicles in person.Although only five F1 LMs were sold, a sixth chassis exists in the form of XP1 LM, the prototype for modifications to the existing F1 to form the new F1 LM. This car is also painted Papaya Orange and is retained by McLaren. Other F1s have been modified by McLaren with LM bodyparts at the behest of the owners,[citation needed] however these are not full F1 LMs since they do not use the race engine.
