Frank Stephenson Talk About McLaren P1

Frank Stephenson‘s visit to Singapore was not for buying cheap Apple products, he went there for the McLaren latest car P1. P1 is a very reasonably priced car with a one-million euro price tag. And this makes it absolutely cheaper than the Bugatti.
Anyway, Frank did an interview during the visit and I managed to found it on YouTube.

Engine Oil Cartoon from Mobil and McLaren


Mobil and McLaren decided to make a cartoon to inform society about the engine oil. Honestly, that doesn’t sound that interesting at all. I mean engine oil is something dirty, smells bad and you cannot use it for fish and chips (I guess some does). Anyway, Mobil and McLaren made this cartoon to explain the role of engine oil and importance through a funny scenario.
It is really nice to watch, and features Jenson Button, Tony Stewart and Sergio Perez.

What Car Lady Gaga Drives? McLaren MP4-12C Spider

Lady Gaga drives a McLaren MP4-12C Spider is the answer for the question, what car Lady Gaga drives? Actually she is not driving, she is sitting at passenger seat. Anyway, we consider Lady Gaga owns a McLaren MP4-12C Spider!

And this indicates that Lady Gaga has knowledge on cars. Because, McLaren MP4-12C Spider is a Formula 1 car packed in an everyday drivable design. The technologies involved with the MP4-12C Spider is not quite common to spot at any other cars, therefore people who prefer MP4-12C means they know about cars!

Two weeks ago, I spotted the design director of Frank Stephenson driving a McLaren MP4-12C Spider and this week Lady Gaga. Which is cooler? Spotting a designer driving his own design. Sorry Lady Gaga!

Aston Martin CC100 Concept Similarities with SLR Stirling Moss and Smart Crossblade

Aston Martin CC100, the latest concept car from Aston Martin, which resemble to McLaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Edition! Aston Martin CC100 is powered by V12 6-lt traditional Aston Martin engine with six-speed automatic gearbox. CC100 needs less than 4 seconds to reach 100 km/h and the top speed is 290 km/h.
Unfortunately, the distinctive design of CC100 is not that original for me. When I first saw the CC100, my brain recalled the SLR Stirling Moss Edition unconsciously. CC100 is a visionary car with the inspiration from 1950s LeMans racers. Therefore, CC100 and SLR Stirling Moss resemble that much. However, I cannot avoid the second resemble of CC100 with Smart Crossblade. Just have a look at the door panel CC100 and Smart Crossblade. They both have the same design of hole!
I am sure many people will go and buy the CC100 despite these design similarities.

McLaren MP4-12C Spider from London

McLaren MP4-12C Spider, one of the fastest cabrio sports car on planet. Literally, 12C Spider is a hard top version of the 12C Coupe, the main difference is the state-of-art retractable hard top. It can opened or closed speeds to up 30km/h. Despite this mechanical roof of 12C Spider, there is no sacrifice on the performance figures. MP4-12C Spider still manages to reach 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds but the top speed is only 329 km/h, just 4 km/h lower than the coupe.

Actually, you will never ever feel the difference between the coupe and the spider. Usually, Spider versions have a very tendency to be less rigid and slower but this did not happen with McLaren MP-12C Spider. I really don’t know how they made it, but they made it.

My personal opinion, buy the MP4-12C Spider instead of the coupe. You can open the roof when you need and it does not look different when the roof is in closed position!

Here are the photos of the MP4-12C Spider from a sunny London day.

MP4-12C Spider is powered by a 3.8-lt twin turbo V8 engine with 626 HP coupled with a 7-speed double clutch automatic.

How Much Does It Cost to Repair a McLaren F1?

Mr. Bean, Rowin Atkinson is going to receive back his McLaren F1. So what happened to this McLaren F1? Mr. Bean crashed this McLaren F1 in mid-2011 and this crash cost more than £700000 to insurance company. After this bill was sent to insurance company, I really wish to see their faces :)
I don’t think that insurance companies love to pay this amount of money! However, this extreme cost was due to carbon fibre structure and gold plates heat insulation parts that play critical role in the performance of McLaren F1. Those gold plates are designed by NASA and McLaren does use them in Formula 1 and automotive.
I really wonder will the insurance companies insure the Mr. Bean again?
