Description

The McLaren F1 became the fastest production car in the world, but almost nobody talks about the company that made it possible. BMW built the legendary V12 engine behind one of the greatest supercars ever created—and then walked away like it was nothing. In this video, we'll uncover the incredible story of how BMW accidentally helped create the McLaren F1, why they refused to use a turbo, and why one of the greatest engineering achievements in automotive history is rarely mentioned today.
