Carbon Composite Racecars

The McLaren-Honda MP4-30 Will Debut in the 2015 Formula One Season

— February 2, 2015 — Autos
The McLaren-Honda MP4-30 is a vehicle that is likely to make longtime Formula One fans feel pretty nostalgic. The McLaren-Honda team brings back memories of the epic battles shared by McLaren teammates Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost during what was a glorious era for McLaren. The McLaren-Honda combination has now been revived, what with the 2015 McLaren's chassis set to be powered by Honda's RA615H power unit.

The vehicle is equipped with a turbocharged 1.6-liter V6 engine with revs limited to 15,000 revs per minute as per F1 regulations. With cars only allowed 100 kg of fuel per race, fuel economy was also a key component borne in mind by the car's creators, who will be hoping that McLaren will be able to put a disappointing 2014 season behind them.
