Identify the general facts of the McLaren F1

     The McLaren F1 is capable of 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and a top speed in excess of
240 mph. This makes it the fastest production car in the world.

     During development work, McLaren driver Jonathan Palmer drove F1 prototype XP3
around Italy's 7.5 mile Nardo test track at 231 mph. But for the tight nature of the track, the car
could have gone even faster. Early in 1998 this record was broken at Volkswagon's test track
with a recorded speed of 241 mph.

     Powering the McLaren is a quad cam, 48-valve, 6.1-litre BMW V12 engine with variable
valve timing. It produces a staggering 627 bhp.

     The F1's engine uses competition inspired dry sump lubrication. More complex than a
conventional wet sump, it shaved vital inches from the oil pan, allowing the engine to be
mounted lower.
