Becoming lead designer at McLaren in 1987, the first car Nichols designed for the famed marque, the MP4\/3, carried Alain Prost to three victories and led the team to finish second in that year\u2019s Constructors\u2019 Championship behind Williams. Drawing on the inspirations of the original McLaren M1A, the N1A\u2019s sleek bodywork panels are made from Formula One-grade graphene-infused carbon fiber. The iconic headlights and design cues of the M1A have been carefully implemented into the N1A\u2019s structure, to ensure its swooping body is not only striking to look at but, thanks to carefully considered detailing, aerodynamically efficient, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-455703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-5-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-5-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-5-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-5-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>John Minett, CEO of Nichols Cars, said: <em>&#8220;The Steve Nichols name is one that needs no introduction in the motorsport world.

The bodywork of the N1A celebrates the heritage of the M1A but is a thoroughly modern interpretation. It is produced from Formula One-grade graphene-infused carbon fibre which helps to give the car rigidity as well as contributing to the light weight. With a power-to-weight ratio of nearly 700 bhp per tonne (depending on the engine specification), drivers of the N1A can feel immersed in the true Can-Am racing experience thanks to its featherweight driving feel. The N1A is also available in any number of liveries, each of which can be customized to the customer\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-8.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-455706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-8.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-8-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-8-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-8-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-8-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-8-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-8-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Inside, the cockpit reflects the stripped-back approach of a racing car, highlighting the dashboard with dials that hark back to the golden era of motor racing. The execution, however, is pure sophistication, with top-grade leathers and fabrics, and aluminum components machined from the solid billet. Featuring an Ayrton Senna-inspired gear knob, the N1A&#8217;s fully reclined seating position is like that of the MP4\/4, giving drivers a chance to experience exactly what Senna and Prost saw.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-455709\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-770x770.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-293x293.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-390x390.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-900x900.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-1400x1400.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-11-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The \u2018beating heart\u2019 of the top-of-the-range N1A is a 7.0-liter all-alloy V8, which has been developed by Nichols Cars. Starting out as an LS3 block from General Motors, it\u2019s been bored out to accommodate new steel liners, whilst custom pistons and conrods have also been added. The impressive engine will be topped with drive-by-wire throttle bodies and will sit on top of a dry sump system, developed in conjunction with leading UK-based engine specialists. The result of these extensive engine upgrades is a total power output of 650 bhp, meaning the N1A in this specification has nearly 700 bhp per tonne.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-9.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-455707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-9.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-9-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-9-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-9-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-9-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-9-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Nichols-Cars-N1A-9-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Coupled with a choice of transmissions supplied by Dana Graziano (formerly known as Graziano Transmissioni) the N1A is a proficient racing car for the road, capable of brutal acceleration, and comes with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard.

The N1A\u2019s chassis is just as impressive as its exterior.
