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.
Since April 25, 1931, when the company Porsche GmbH was founded by Ferdinand Porsche, the German brand has been at the forefront of the global automotive scene. Its ability to produce models at the cutting edge of technology allows it to remain among the leaders. Between the 911, Boxster, Cayman ranges and the models entered in racing, the know-how of the German firm is well established. Over the years, the race for power and exclusivity has raged among manufacturers. Thus, in the early 2000s, the German firm launched the production of a new model: the Carrera GT, a real supercar.
