The Mclaren F1 had some 626bhp to the new koinigsegg's 850bhp but the koinigg only goes about ten miles mph faster. Put turbo's in a Mclaren F1 and you could see aroung the same power but top speed improved to around 255-260 mph. By the way the koinegg has a V8 losely based around the Ford V8. The Pagani does have a Mercedes (AMG tuned) 7.3Ltr engine The only point the last comment had right was that monts is a dip****.

Last year there were many unreliability iissues with Mclaren aswell, but this year seems to be the problem of all the good staff leavin to join red shitty bull racing.

I can't blame them because they are behind Ferrari and Renault. With the way Ilmor-Mercedes engines keep blowing up, Mercedes Benz seem desperate to lock out the Mclaren team on their engines for the long haul. I'm glad Kimi Raikonnen will leave for Ferrari next year. Kimi would have been the F1 champion last year if not for the unreliability of the Mercedes engine.

V12 7.5L naturally inspired, 6 speed old fashion manual with a top speed of over 250 mph, and throw in the Gullwings and there you have it. Some thing Mercedes should've done when Groden Murray was still at Mercedes.

Be kind of neat if the T1 had the Mercedes symbol on it. Then, Mercedes can claim to have a truly exotic sports car. I’d love to see Mercedes buy Caparo, makers of the Freestream T1.

Mclaren F1 racing and automotive have nothing to do with Mclaren Technologies USA (The company tuning the next viper). It was setup by the same person (Bruce Mclaren) but only as two different brand completely unrelated to each other apart from the name. P.s.

I hate it how whenever mercedes buys a comppany it makes it part of itself. Like mercedes Maybach and Mercedes Mclaren imagine how stupid Ford Jaguar S type sounds. or BMW Rolls Royce Phantom sounds.... JUST LET MCLAREN BE ITS OWN COMPANY EVEN IF THEY OWN IT Mercedes should let Mcalren be its own auto maker.
