That doesnât always apply, of course, since the two Presidentâs who presided over the ill-advised war in Vietnam both served in the military during World War II, and that didnât seem to prevent either Richard Nixon or Lyndon Johnson from making decision about the war that seem to be quite foolhardy in retrospect.
A modern F1 car can accelerate to 62 mph in less than two seconds, pull more Gs than a Space Shuttle launch, and hit a top speed over 200 MPH in qualifying.t first glance, this sounds a lot like a smaller version of the V8 you could find in many carsâ until you realize that F1 engines routinely rev up to 18,000 RPM. Thanks to all those revs, they produce about 300 HP/L for a total output of around 750 HP or more.
The McLaren F1 has a 6.0 liter BMW S70/2 V12 engine producing 618horsepower. It can do 0-60mph (0-97km/h) in 3.2seconds. When the car reached 243mph at Volkswagenâs Ehra-Lessien test track in April 1998, it was the fastest production car in the world at the time. Just 106 McLaren F1s were produced between 1992 and 1998.
