Replica McLaren F1

Bryan — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:53:45 +0000

Replica car makers are getting pretty good at what they do these days, just check out this Replica McLaren F1, if you don’t believe what were talking about. This Replica McLaren F1 doesn’t hold the same power as the original supercar, this one was constructed around an Audi V6 30v engine that most likely produces around 190 to 250 HP depending on the displacement.

While the seller did not disclose all the specifications about the car, you can try to get your hands on this for about 150,000 Polish Zlotych, Euro €35,000 or US $45,000.

However, this particular Replica McLaren F1 isn’t the first supercar replica to be seen for sale. Another F1 was also found in Poland, but it did not have the BMW V12 powerplant that produces over 600 horsepower. Neither of these replica cars could possibly give the original a run for its money, yet they would most likely fool the people around you into thinking you have one of the rarest cars in the world.

To each their own I guess, enjoy the “McLaren F1” pictures to judge the work for yourself and don’t forget to leave your thoughts below!

What we got here is an old school 199902003 1999–2003 Classic BMW Z8 roadster tuned up by the guys at Senner Tuning. The German based aftermarket company decided to give a small performance package to increase the numbers even further. Stock, the BMW Z8 holds the E39 M5 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. With the Senner Tuning additions of a new air filter, custom exhaust, and ECU tune to bring it all together, new figures show 450 HP and 535 Nm of torque. While these modifications weren’t really necessary, the small sports car can now hit a top speed in excess of 300 km/h or 186 mph.

To improve the BMW roadsters handling, Senner tuning hooked it up with a Variant 2 Inox-Line coilover kit that are fully adjustable and also include a new front strut bar for extra stiffness. While the factory BMW Z8 wheels are just fine in our opinion, Senner Tuning thought different and installed 19-inch Schwert SC1 alloy wheels wrapped in Continental Sport Contact 5P tires. They measure up to be 255/40R19 at the front, and 285/35R19 at the rear. Underneath the new rims and tires you will notice Racing Gold varnished brake calipers for an extra custom look. Pricing for this Senner Tuning BMW Z8 package comes in at €18,900 or around US $24,500.

Taxi Street Racing in Canada! HAHAHAHA.. That was my first impression after I saw this video. You guys probably don’t see or hear this often. Canadian police officers seized the vehicles of two motorists for racing on Yonge Street in Toronto.

When we say street racing, you’d probably expecting import cars or muscle cars battling on the street? but nothing as we except that these two drivers were racing their Chevrolet Impala… A taxi cabs!

We don’t really know who the winner was (the police didn’t state it in the video ) from the Beck Taxi versus Royal Cab derby nor if they managed to actually complete the quarter mile on the public road, but one thing for sure, The canadian news sites reported that the two cabbies driver were formally charged and had their licenses suspended for one week.

If convicted, they also face a fine between CA$2,000 and CA$10,000. Yes, that may hurt their pocket big time! LOL
