What is the fastest Formula 1 car of all time? The 2024 cars use some of the most advanced technology and testing equipment to be the quickest on track – but contrary to popular belief, the 2024 cars are not the fastest of all time. The 2018-2021 era delivered the fastest F1 cars yet, with new regulations introduced to increase speed and make racing more exciting. During this time, the Mercedes W11 set the record for the fastest average lap at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix, hitting 164.267mph. However, it was in 2005 that the highest top speed was ever officially recorded at a race weekend. The McLaren MP4-20 hit 231.52mph at the Monza Grand Prix. Aerodynamics have come a long way in Formula 1, and with our advanced aerodynamic pressure scanners, we’re helping teams achieve even faster speeds for the seasons ahead.

🔱 1956 Maserati 300 S Between 1955 and 1959, they built twenty-six 300S Maserati cars with three versions of increasing sophistication. By then, Maserati had a car competitive with the best sports racing cars of its class and for many drivers, such as Stirling Moss, they considered it a favorite. Straight-six racing engines were popular with Maserati from the early 1950s. There was a success in the two-liter class with the A6GCS double overhead cam engines and the 300S engine was developed after successes with the identically engine-equipped 250F Grand Prix racing car. By increasing the stroke, the Maserati company now had a 240 horsepower engine (at 7200 RPM). Maserati then experimented with engines increasing from 2.8 liters to a final version, a 3-liter powerhouse capable of 260 horsepower at 6500 RPM. #Anis_Maaouia

Thoughts on #365GTB4 🏁🏁 The style of the #365GTB4 was iconic. Its vast bonnet emphasised the #V12power beneath. This was a mighty beast, more #muscular warhorse than rampant pony. The Colombo V2 had grown to 4.4 litres, from the 3.3 of the previous #275GTB4 The soft poetry of the 275 GTB4’s lines had been sharpened into a muscular wedge. The short, sharp tail further emphasised the length of the nose. It was a car #dominated by that #front-mounted #engine and its promise of power. As the fastest road #Ferrari of its time, the 365GTB4 was a logical (and successful) choice for the #racetrack Which it duly delivered. Maximum #power was 352 hp, and top speed was 280 km/h – by some margin, the fastest road Ferrari up to that time. And while it bucked the emerging #trend to supercars that placed their engines behind their drivers, the #Daytona was generally thought superior to mid-rear engined rivals in handling and predictability. Its excellent #weight distribution – helped by the #rear transaxle and a V12 sited largely aft of the front axle – clearly helped. For proof, it would go on to be a highly #successful sports racer. #Competition versions would win their #class in the #LeMans 24-hour race in 1972, 1973 and 1974. As late as 1979 – six years after it ceased production – a Daytona would finish second outright in the Daytona 24-hour race. Ferrari Scuderia Ferrari Fast Auto Technic Co.

Amazing Motorsports Stories #1 🏁 Unmatched Perfection: The Legendary Nissan R32 Skyline - The car that never lost a race 🏁 The Nissan R32 Skyline GT-R stands as a testament to automotive excellence, etching its name in history as the car that never lost a race. From the streets to the track, its dominance was unrivaled, capturing the hearts of enthusiasts worldwide. While the BMW M3 dominated European racing, the Skyline R32 did the same in Asia. This car, elevated into legendary status thanks to countless media appearances, was incredible. With its groundbreaking technology, including the revolutionary ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system and the formidable RB26DETT engine, the R32 redefined what it meant to be a performance car. Its winning record speaks for itself. The Skyline entered 29 Japanese Touring Car Championships. How many do you think it won? Maybe 20? Nope, it won every single one of them. #NissanR32 #SkylineGTR #UnmatchedPerformance

Japanese beast - the original Nissan R390 GT1 road car! A real one. This was the road car built to meet the requirements to build and enter the racing version at Le Mans. This racing version was the R390 GT1. Up until that point, Nissan had sent GTRs to race in the BPR Global GT series. But as regulations began to change in the series, Porsche took advantage of a loophole in the vaguely written requirements that ultimately led them to spawn the GT1. Mercedes did the same with the CLK GTR and McLaren made a Longtail variant of their dominant F1 GTR. So the Nissan GTRs simply weren't fast enough to compete in the class anymore. So the R390 GT1 enters the cat. Nissan/Nismo developed the car in partnership with TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing), who you may know from projects like the Jaguar XJR-15 and XJ220S TWR - among other things, the race track and the road. It used an updated version of the twin-turbo aluminum 3.5L V8 VRH35 taken from the Nissan R89C, which was tuned to Le Mans specifications, producing 641hp. This was mated to a 6-speed sequential transmission. The entire package came in at just north of 1000kgs, or about 2200lbs. The road car seen here is the basis of the GT1 car. It was developed at the Nissan Technical Center in Atsugi, Japan, and featured the same engine as the race car, but it was detuned to 550 hp for the road. That was still good for a 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 220 km/h, which at the time was only behind the McLaren F1 and TVR Speed 12. Until today Today, it's still the fastest road car Japan has. #nissan #r390 #supercar #performance #speed #japan 🇯🇵 #Anis_Maaouia
