Mclaren F1

The Mclaren F1 reaches 60 mph in 3.15 s (100 km/h in 3.26 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 10.70 s, tripping the lights at 142.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.92 s and the eighth mile in 7.13 s, reaching 100 mph in 6.04 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the F1

The 1993 Mclaren F1 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated supercar of 1,140 kg with 618 bhp, which works out at 542 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 542 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.92 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 366th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 32nd quickest of the 32 Mclarens here. Its 142.1 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Mclaren F1 0-60 time?
The Mclaren F1 reaches 60 mph in 3.15 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 366th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mclaren F1 quarter mile time?
10.70 s at 142.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.13 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.92 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mclaren F1 have?
618 bhp and 1,140 kg, which is 542 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 391 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mclaren F1?
Closest here on pace: Ultima GTR 500 (3.22 s), Pagani Huayra (3.11 s), Gumpert Apollo Sport (3.24 s). Each one can be raced against the Mclaren F1 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mclaren F1 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
