Mclaren were going to use a Honda motor but honda would not build it big enough and with enough cylinders!!! As far as Honda were concerned 4.5 litre V8 was big enough with VTEC!! Also I remember reading in a SPEED earlier in an article on the F1 that the motor was of a BMW motor already in use, next edition I read a letter from a reader stating it was all new, the editor of SPEED of course slammed him!!! The motor was all new with no existing piece being used in a BMW to that date.
|
I read somewhere that McLaren bought a Toyota Sera so they could model the gullwing door design from it. Unsure of the accuracy of the information, but interesting none the less if true.
|
its very common for companies to buy other cars and research on it. i went to proton facility ones and saw evo's and civics there to be ripped apart.
btw, my hsemate used to have a sera. get some bigger front speakers, and the doors are shit!!
