In 1988, Gordon Murray, chief engineer of the McLaren Formula 1 team, was given carte blanche to bring his vision of “the ultimate road car” to life. With no budget constraints, the project culminated in late 1993 with one of the most extraordinary sports cars ever built. Consider the specs: a carbon monocoque and body, a three-seat layout with a central driving position, a 627-horsepower BMW V12 for just 1,140 kg, and a top speed of 369 km/h—all achieved without ABS, power steering, or a rear wing, thanks to flawless aerodynamics. Barely modified, a McLaren F1 went on to win the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans. Even 30 years later, it remains the fastest naturally aspirated road car ever made. The price? A cool $1 million at launch.
There have been pivotal years in Formula 1. Seasons where you feel that something is changing, where certainties waver, where engineering is getting the better of habit. 2026 is one of those seasons. Regulations are changing, cars are being transformed, engines are entering a new hybrid era, and even the grid is welcoming new faces. Cadillac is coming. Audi is getting ready. F1 is about to write a chapter where anything is possible again. And that is undoubtedly what enthusiasts were waiting for: a discipline that reinvents its own future.

Sometimes stories seem unbelievable. One thing is certain, the DeLorean story is a perfect example, so much so that Martin Scorsese could have brought it to the screen. From his beginnings in working life with his first positions at General Motors, to the closure of his recently created company, John Z. Delorean has shone both in his genius and in his astonishing character. Its history and that of its brand, which are little known in their details, deserve some time. A look back is necessary to take stock of a story that is at least... out of the ordinary.
