Yes, Gordon Murray used the NSX as a muse to build the McLaren F1 but no way does it imply that the NSX is the same level as the McLaren F1. Hope people don't get the wrong misconception.
The McLaren F1 for me is (and still is) the ultimate supercar. A car engineered ahead of it's time. No other car manufacturer won 24 hours Le Mans race on the first entry and finished 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th for the other teams using the same car. |

QUOTE(wayfeel @ Feb 18 2014, 01:30 AM) but cant deny the nsx did heighten the mclaren, it gave the vision and hope that a supercar can have such great handling, daily user friendly and low maintenance is achievable...all of which epitomize by the nsx and did revolutionize the supercar...otherwise, the mclaren would have been benchmark against the F, L , P and what it have achieved may not of be what F1 is today but the Nsx sure did push the envelope for the F1 to achieve what GM could not have envisioned without the Nsx I agree with what you're trying to say... But the McLaren F1 being low maintenance?   That I think they have not achieved.  |

QUOTE(wayfeel @ Feb 18 2014, 03:04 AM) ya the F1 isnt low maintenance like the nsx, and not low hp n torque and now priced lowly than the nsx too Prices are high (if you can find one) because unlike the NSX, the McLaren F1 is indeed a supercar and it's a collector's item. |
