Dubbed the Faster One or “F1? for short, the car was developed by former BMW and Sauber F1 engineers, which makes this car the real deal. The F1 was originally showcased back in 2007 as a prototype and now it is back with more modifications and upgrades.
The F1 features a twin-turbocharged 5.6-liter V10 engine that pumps out more than 1,200 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 922 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. The V10 is strapped to a 6-speed, semi-automated sequential gearbox with paddle shifters and active launch control, sending the power to an intelligent all-wheel drive system. The engineers also managed to keep the weight down to 2,756 lbs (1,250 kg), giving the car a power-to-weight ratio of 0.96 per kilogram. They accomplished this by giving the Weber F1 a new carbon fiber chassis, an aerodynamic profile and strapped on a set of their very own light-weight alloy 20-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli high performance tires.
