In the early 90s, the legendary McLaren F1 made its world debut. With its BMW V-12 engine and three-seat configuration, some still consider it the ultimate supercar. In 1998, it became the fastest production car in the world, at 391 km/h (243 mph). The entire production run had only 106 units, each priced well over $1 million. This was enough for the McLaren to become a legend among car enthusiasts and to have a lot of supercars in the future.
And this is perhaps the case with the people at DDR Motorsport, who, according to a recently published press release, want to offer an “affordable supercar” from sports cars with a striking resemblance to the McLaren F1. You are not going to say anything new; Chinese clone of everything. Except in this case we are not talking about the Chinese, but about the Americans – the company is based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. However, as far as Gordon Murray or Ron Dennis, the authors of the F1 prototype, there were no complaints, but this is unlikely, because the difference between the F1 car and DDR is huge.
Although the exterior of the DDR Miami GT looks a lot like the F1 (the shape of the and the door with the front hood placed between the front and the rear), the case Compared to the original, it does not exist. First Pricing: The DDR Miami GT costs just $20,000. “How is this possible?” You are going to be asked. Well, don’t like to buy from your dealer car: just get a car-equipment, which means you will have to park to meet you in the garage. And the package only features chassis, fiberglass body ornament (no paint), suspension system, braking system, steering system, cooling system and more elements in the two-seater cockpit. Also no machine! Because the company says it prefers to leave the engine and transmission to the discretion of the customer, its experts recommend “transplanting” from cars like the Toyota MR2, Honda NSX or Chevy Corvette. So how powerful the car will be depends only on the financial resources of the buyer.
Finally, if you own a McLaren F1, relax; This car is no real threat and your precious F1 won’t lose a single penny in value. Actually, to be honest, we think it’s a pretty interesting project, but we’re not really sure how successful this American clone will be.
