McLaren ‘F1 car for the road’ launched in Kuwait

Posted on 5/23/2012

McLaren gull-winged 200 miles per hour British supercar named ’F1 car for the road’ was launched on Monday at the Alghanim showroom in Shuwaikh. UK racing specialist McLaren entered Kuwaiti market months after the launch of the newest ‘MP4-12C’ which promised safety, reliability and comfort.

The car, is designed differently from its competitors. It is a carbon fiber structure. What the McLaren carbon fiber gives is very light, incredible strength. In case of car safety, it gives great advantage over the aluminum structure, it is expensive. McLaren is the first manufacturing company to use carbon fiber structure in Formula One car. They are the first to introduce carbon fiber in the road car.

McLaren ‘F1 road car’ has a different approach to suspension control system, conventional wisdom dictates that a passive suspension control system is better for sports car because it feels more natural. McLaren developed a semi-active chassis control system which uses hydraulic pressure which not only controls the stiffness of a shock absorber but also controls the car. Another advantage is a choice of the engine. Engine is 3.8 liters, but brings 600 boiler horse power - equivalent to about six Ford Fiestas, the most powerful car in the segment, and fuel efficiency car. McLaren claims that it is the world’s most efficient internal combustion engine and the pinnacle of British hi-tech engineering. The new McLaren twoseater will accelerate from rest to 60 miles per hour in just 3.4 seconds.

SOS at trafic signal
Posted by : Indian In Kuwait on 5/13/2013
Hi,

What should we do if the signal is red and some police car or fire rescue truck behind you making siren? There is no pavement or shoulder line to move out. Its 2 line road. In this case what should we do? cross the red signal? its not even possible as the other line in the front is open for vehicles.

I saw a poor guy getting shouted from other peo[ple to not moving his car out of their way. move to where? Advise please.
