Information

XP1
First Mclaren F1 prototype

In March 1993, it was sent for hot-weather trials in Namibia. Unfortunately, on March 24th, a BMW engineer lost control when he was looking down at some equipment and he struck a curb at around 170mph.

A spectacular crash saw the car barrel-roll several times and end up on its roof until the car burst into flames.

Thankfully, the monocoque survived intact and the driver scrambled out unscathed through the broken windscreen. However, fluid from the engine began to leak and was ignited by the hot exhaust manifold.

XP1 burned to the ground.
