The Original McLaren F1 is a truly remarkable car.  So can the old school F1 Beat a Bugatti Veyron in a drag race?  Well the easy money is on the Veyron… right?  Turns out it depends how far the race is. Because the McLaren F1 is faster than the Veyron up to about 190MPH or so.  but then the Veyrons turbos and extra gearing help it win in a one mile race.  Pretty damn impressive McLaren!  makes you wonder what that new McLaren P1 will do.  some varies pics of both cars are below check them out most are wallpaper!

Bad Boys had that amazing Porsche in it remember!  They have that epic chase in the end and the body lines of that 911 are so amazing! So I had to make this post to show the new 2014 Porsche 911 GT3.

The design of the Bi-Xenon(TM) headlights fitted as standard is reminiscent of Porsche motorsport classics. Sleek direction indicators, daytime running lights and position lights boasting LED technology create that contemporary contrast. The mirror base of the SportDesign exterior mirrors reflects thev-shaped styling of the wheel spokes and air intake opening in the front end.

The rear end is 1.7 inches (44 mm) wider, flatter, and sharper compared with the previous model. LED taillights emphasise the horizontal contouring of the rear. The central twin tailpipe of the sport exhaust system is painted black.

The new front end has further improved the aerodynamics of the center radiator. This is revealed to the eye by the customary 911 GT3 air outlet to the front of the luggage compartment lid. Together with the wider front spoiler lip, it provides much more downthrust at the front axle. All cooling air openings are protected by titanium-colored air intake grilles. The wing, wing uprights and rear lid are made of a lightweight synthetic material. The ram-air collector intake is now a single unit. That’s the downthrust and engine air induction prerequisites fulfilled. The aerodynamics have also been enhanced by the new underbody panelling with diffuser function at the rear.

The interior is dominated by Alcantara(R), leather, and interior parts in Galvano Silver as well as brushed aluminum. Alcantara is easy to grip and maintain. For this reason, it is mainly found in places where there is direct contact: on the steering wheel rim and gear selector.

The instrument cluster is equipped with a high-resolution 4.6-inch TFT color display. It provides you with data from the on-board computer, including average speed and fuel consumption, fuel range, and outside temperature, and allows you to view Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) information as well as data from the stopwatch of the optional Sport Chrono package.

The optional Sport Chrono Package comprises an analog and digital stopwatch on the dashboard. In conjunction with Porsche Communication Management (PCM), Sport Chrono Package functionality is enhanced with a performance display and the ability to display, store and evaluate recorded lap times.

An electromechanical adjustment system at each rear wheel enables the steering angle to be adapted based on the current driving situation, steering input and vehicle speed.

During high-speed maneuvers, the system steers the rear wheels in the same direction as that of the front wheels. Driving stability is increased by the virtual extension of the wheelbase and agility is enhanced by the simultaneous steering of the front and rear axles, especially during overtaking maneuvers on the racetrack.

The electronically controlled system minimizes the oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, especially the engine, and combines the benefits of a hard or soft engine mounting arrangement.

A hard engine mounting delivers optimum dynamic performance because it offers the highest degree of handling precision possible. Soft engine mounts, on the other hand, minimize oscillations and vibrations. While comfort is improved on uneven road surfaces, this comes at the expense of dynamic performance.

Our engineers have solved this problem by enabling the engine mounts to adapt their stiffness and damping performance to changes in driving style and road surface conditions. Handling is perceptibly more stable under load change conditions and in fast corners. The dynamic engine mount system also reduces the vertical oscillations of the engine when accelerating under full load. The results are greater and more uniform drive force at the rear axle, increased traction and better acceleration.

PSM is an automatic control system for providing stability at the limits of dynamic driving performance. In addition to the anti-lock braking system, it includes Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control (TC).

What’s special about PSM in the new 911 GT3? The systems intervene at the limits of dynamic driving performance with exceptional sensitivity and precision.

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus is fitted as standard and has been specially adapted to the new 911 GT3. It operates in conjunction with an electronically regulated and fully variable rear differential lock.

The results are perceptible, particularly at the limits of dynamic performance: greater traction, increased lateral dynamics, and a significant improvement in driving stability under the effects of load changes in corners and when the car changes lane.

The wheels are platinum-colored and made from a forged alloy. The central locking device with ‘GT3’ logo is derived from motorsport.

Tire sizes are 245/35 ZR 20 on 9 J x 20 at the front and 305/30 ZR 20 on12 J x 20 at the rear. Road-legal sport tires on the new 911 GT3 help to provide the grip it needs. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is fitted as standard in the new 911 GT3 and features a racetrack mode that takes account of the pressure and temperature characteristics of the tires on the circuit and precisely monitors the pressure set in each individual tire.

There was a secret behind the victories in Le Mans in 1986 and 1987 with a Porsche 962C: the double-clutch transmission that Porsche had been continually refining since the 1960s. In the Porsche 962C, it already enabled extremely fast gear changes. Today, Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is setting standards on the road, with gear changes that take place in milliseconds and with no perceptable interruption in the flow of power to provide faster acceleration and low fuel consumption.

The PDK has been specially adapted for the new 911 GT3. It features a transmission with gear ratios specific to the 911 GT3 and a 50% reduction in shift throw on the even crisper and more dynamic gearshift paddles. Perfectly adapted to the 3.8-liter engine. This comes as standard in the new 911 GT3. Goal achieved. Racing feel included, with seven performance-oriented gears where even 7th gear has a sport ratio engineered for maximum speed. Manual operation of the 911 GT3-specific gear selector is based on the established motorsport principle: back to shift up, forward to shift down.
The electronic gearbox control logic of the Intelligent Shift Program (ISP) offers more immediate and faster traction-induced upshifts and throttle-blip downshifts on overrun.

To guarantee high torque and power across a broad engine speed range, the conventional distributor pipe in the new 911 GT3 is supplemented by a resonance pipe with resonance flap. This is opened or closed depending on the engine speed. For optimum cylinder charge.

This results in an impressive torque curve, a high maximum torque and ultimate power output across a broad engine speed range.

This high-revving concept promises exceptional power. The engine has a maximum speed of 9,000 rpm. Maximum torque of 324 lb.-ft. is available at 6,250 rpm and maximum power output is produced at 8,250 rpm. Particularly lightweight Two hundredths of a second are worlds apart. What are we waiting for? Titanium connecting rods facilitate the unit’s impressive rpm capability. The engine taps into its capacity of 3.8 liters to generate a maximum power output of 475 hp. This corresponds to a power output per liter of 125 hp. It sprints from 0-60mph in just 3.3 seconds – 0.6 seconds faster than its predecessor.

The red six-piston aluminum brake calipers on the front axle and the four-piston equivalents at the rear are designed as monobloc units. This makes them tougher and enables a more rapid response and release of the brake, even under heavy loads. The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) delivers even more formidable braking performance. The key advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are 50% lighter than standard discs of a similar design and size. As well as enhancing performance and fuel economy, this represents a major reduction in unsprung and rotating masses.

475 hp @ 8,250 rpm

0-60 mph: 3.3 s

Top Track Speed: 195 mph

Consumption (Highway): TBA mpg

MSRP $ 130,400.00

BMW has been doing really weird stuff lately. They swapped a V10 for V8 in the M5… Stupid.  Now they are introducing a 4 series that as far as i can tell is a 3 series and maybe even on the same damn chassis.  Now a four door M6.  So basically its an M5 part two. it comes with a twin turbo V8 making  560 bhp and 500 lb.-ft. of torque.  For anyone that does not already know that is the same amount the M5 has. Because that is the same motor the M5 has.  That just begs the question why is this car being made?  Hell id rather see the production cost just go into a mid life crisis package that swaps the M5 V8 for the old V10 and twin turbo that.  Thats what an M badge should have under the hood.  something that will scare the unholy hell out of you.  This 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe does look good inside and out.  Plus you cant beat having a manual in a car like this. The M6 Gran Coupe will set you back $113,000.  But an M6 4 door and a M5 under one roof is silly.  that goes double when they share the same engine.  BMW… get it together.

I keep getting more amazing 2014 McLaren P1 wallpapers! So its my pleasure to give you the most EPIC desktops ever.  I cant wait to get some solid video or a Top Gear Review!  Ron Dennis already said to the public that this will be the fastest production car around any race track ever!  Now that is one hell of a claim with cars like the LaFerrari releasing soon.  Ron Dennis does not seem to fear the HY-KERS system.  Remember the P1 works off basically the same system with a less silly name.  I may add that the P1 has a better name.  I mean it is better than The McLaren…

Clarkson, Hammond and May attempt to beat The Stigs lap time in a Ferrari 458 around the infamous Imola circuit – the most dangerous track… in the world. Hammond drives a Noble M600, May a McLaren MP4-12C and Clarkson a Lamborghini Aventador.  Because Clarkson’s car was shooting fire he declares he automatically wins the challenge.  Hard to disagree with that logic.
