MasHD Autonews - McLaren P1 GTR has a truly "Multifunctional" steering wheel

It might not beat a F1 car on a drag race , nor will it cost so much , but McLaren's new P1 GTR is truly a track inspired ride that will give you all the comforts of  a supercar while having the experience of driving a track suited 986bhp monster that has a 2008 F1 inspired steering wheel . The special edition P1 ,like the normal one, still has a spartan interior ,but that is justified as the car is made to achieve speed and nothing else (beauty too) . The car comes with a 3.8L Twin Turbo V8 that produces the before mentioned horsepower which is a 83 horse increase to the car . The P1 GTR also has a trainee program for novice drivers to get some pior training before strapping into the 6 harness DTM style seat .The sweet ride will only be in production for 30 units and each one will be GBP 2 million atleast .

MasHD Autonews - Marussia Motors gets the dirt nap , F1 team lives on

If you haven't heard about Marussia Motors before , you can be excused , The Russian sports car manufacturer founded by Nikolai Fomenko has made some effort to gain some publicity through their Formula 1 team but due to lack of sales and a firm market grip , the employees have left their posts to find employment at a government run -technical institute . Marussia motors produced their first sports car the Marussia B1 in 2010 and later produced the limited production Marussia B2 which is the last model to come out of the Russian manufacturer . The manufacturer had plans for a SUV called F2 and a hardcore version of the B2 , but now those concepts have met their end .The Marussia F1 team has not gone underground however and is still active , now owned by Marussia communications Ireland , the company formally ended its links with the auto manufacturer and so the Ferrari powered team and still lives on.
