Crazy Poles
There seems to something about building replicas that turns people on. While this Polish chap has a long way to go to reach the accomplishments of Ken Imhoff who finished a Lamborghini Countach in the basement of his house, we'll keep an eye on this McLaren F1 replica project that is obviously still under development. Up until now, the Polish man has created a tube frame chassis outfitted with a fibreglass body that mimics the shape of the McLaren F1 while power comes from a BMW V12 engine of unknown origins.
The original three-seater McLaren F1 supercar featured a BMW M division built and designed 6.1-liter V12 engine with an aluminum alloy block and head that produced a hefty 627HP at 7,400 rpm and 480-lbs/ft of torque at 6,500 rpm.
