Greatest Car of the 20th Century - London Classic Car Show
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2016 9:51 pm
The London Classic Car Show is showcasing Gordon Murray and the McLaren F1 as the "Greatest Car of the 20th Century".
In a press release Murray was quoted:
"When we started work on the F1 we benchmarked all the existing supercars from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and so on, as well as aspects of cars as varied as the contemporary Honda NSX and the 1960s Lotus Elan.
The idea was to better the performance, vehicle dynamics, handling and ride comfort, whilst producing a car that could, genuinely, be used every day.
We achieved it all? except perhaps the steering. The F1 gets very close but doesn?t quite better the purity of the Lotus Elan?s steering,? said Murray."
