 According to the newest issue of Motor Trend (Feb. 06 I think. The FXX weighs 2,700lbs and does 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds.

 i think this topic is not relevant on the basis that the FXX is a natural aspirated V12 and that McLaren F1 is a supercharged V12, comparison should be made in the classes they exist in not outside of it, like FXX is very very advanced in all cases, in lap times it will probably destroy any car and about the 10 year theory, dude this doesnt mean that ferrari couldnt do it, they have the biggest research institute in motor companies also ignoring comparison i would like to say that Enzo and FXX has only a diff of 0.3L but a BHP diff of 140 this is technology and superfine engine building which ferrari always had but never used it and besides Enzo even though slower than F1 beats it in lap times easily

Um, what?
The Mclaren F1 is a supercharged V12? Where did you get that from?

WTF you been smoking? Since when was the BMW S70/S72 engine ever supercharged? It's naturally aspirated, dude.

 The Mclaren F1 may be faster in a straight line but the handling is way off any Ferrari supercar. The old F40 handles better than a McLaren F1!

 The FXX will beat the F1 without any problems. The F1 will not even beat the FXX on a straight line. And Ferrari already beat the F1 with the Enzo. The Enzos acceleration time from 0-100 KMH is slower and so is his topspeed, but after de 100kmh the Enzo is much faster than the F1. All the Ferrari's have these day a ''formula 1'' gearbox, wich hasn't the settings to go as fast as possible from 0-100 and neither as high as possible topspeed, it is ment to go as fast out of corners. And with that the Ferrari's beat many cars now on the track. The F1 will have no chanche agaist the FXX. I think it is not a fair fight between those two. Ferrari's aren't dragrace cars but more like a race car.

 (please read the whole thing before you reply)

Unfortunatly these comparrisons are pretty vague. However I want to address the most important aspect of supercars, Their preformance against each other. Now, This comparison is between the Mc F1 and the FXX, whether they are in different classes, or totally different types of cars is completely eroneous ( it doesnt matter that one is a exotic luxury sports car, and one is a program to help the advancement of ferrari racing (the Fxx program)).

In any event I chose to think of it this way. Ferrari puts all that they know about formula 1 racing into their cars, whether it be a the F430, 599 gtb, or Fxx, (they all kick ass). Same with Mclaren, All that Mclaren knew about racing back in 1994 went into the first F1.


SO... If you think that the 1994 mclaren f1, can beat the 2005 Fxx, essentially what you are saying is that the 1994 Mclaren Formula 1 and lemans technology is still superior to the ferrari formula 1 technology.


You people have to let go, The Mclaren F1 as great in its hayday. Although it was never that great. When Ford released the GT, ferrari instantly retaliated with the F430. The Mclaren F1 was never a threat to ferrari because ferrari never cared about top speed. Because it doesnt matter as much as the other aspects of the car.

I once heard from a Mclaren owner that the F1 has no business going over 200, it is a rattle trap, and only thoes with nothing to lose should tempt that.

And if you say that this year in Mclaren F1 team is giving ferrari a run for their money, and Alanso in the renault is killing ferrari as well, at that level its all about the driver, not about the car.

 The FXX cannot be compared to a 1994 Mclaren because the Ferrari is a track car now if you compared it to the Mclaren F1 GTR that won Le Mans 3 times thats where the FXX would probably stay tight to the Mclaren on a twisty race track but the Mclaren would pull away during the straits
i may be to young to drive but i know what i'm talking about

 A ferrari Enzo is faster round a track than a Mclaren F1 and the fxx is lighter more powerful more refined very latest in technology away from Formula 1 so i very much dought the Fxx will have a problem brushing the Mclaren aside on the track

 Let's be reasonable here--which McLaren F1 model are we talking about? The only one that can be brought up is the 1995 McLaren F1 LM certainly, it being a pure racing car. Now, it's already been pointed out that the FXX has ten years of formula 1 technology advancement over the F1 LM. That said, we do have to recognize that the F1 remained untouched for so many years until recently when the Bugatti Veyron, the Koenigsegg CCR/X, and the Ferrari FXX came were introduced. Considering that, the F1 should be recognized and respected for being the automotive world's overall performance king for so long. It is no longer the greatest, but it still keeps up to the new "threats" and gives them a decent run for their money. Its balance, power, weight, EVERYTHING still makes it a legend that will not go down without a fight.

 FXX is the best car ever seen, for the moment, but a F1 better than every car on the road. However FXX is better thaN McLaren because FXX is the top of technology(after F1).

 Guys, i can appreciate ferrari's for what they are, but the fact of the matter is there will never be a better supercar than the mclaren f1. It is widely regarded as the greatest car of all time and in my opinion it is too.

 I like how ppl say the fxx can out handle a mclaren as if they've driven both to know. show me skidpad numbers and real track times to make statements like that. also, saying things like the mclaren is unsafe at speeds of 200+ is ridiculous, even the mclaren page on supercars says a man drove to work at speeds above 200 daily. the mclaren is a true supercar in every way, not just in top speed which it happens to be known for but in handling, acceleration, power, and weight. anyways, i'd take the mclaren because it was a far greater achievement in it's day than the fxx is today (just a revamped enzo which in turn is just a revamped f50 which in turn is just a revamped f40). also it's unique, i don't know of many cars that come with engine bays lined with gold or 3 seats and a central view of the road. It was designed from the ground up with a purpose, and that purpose was fulfilled with real wins in racing to back it up. even if the mclaren isn't the best car anymore, it sure isn't hard to believe that it is. All that aside, the fxx is just butt ugly.

 The McLaren F1 is not nearly as focused or hardcore as the FXX (it can be had with a dvd player!). Let's not forget that the FXX is NOT EVEN STREET LEGAL! Obviously the FXX would smoke the McLaren in any perfromance test other than top speed. A lot has changed in the years since the F1 was produced. Although it was revolutionary for its time, the F1 can no longer keep up with modern supercars that have the important advantages of sticky, modern tires, F1 style paddle-shift gearboxes, and carbon/ceramic breaks. On a racetrack, the F1 would be left behind by an enzo and perhaps even a Carrera GT. Lower volume kitcars and specials such as the Ultima GTR or the LeBlanc Mirabeau would absoultely humiliate it. I know, OLD LEGENDS DIE HARD. People aren't ready to accept that the F1 is no longer the greatest car ever made. But the time has come. It's been 13 years! Let's not let the F1's pedigree confuse our practical and objective judgement.

 The FXX will probably be faster that the McLaren F1 of any versions. Too bad for Ferrari though, Any type of McLarens can be road-legal. the FXX CANNOT be used on the road.

So will it be Ferrari or McLaren?
Well, I'll take 'em both
