The McLaren F1 GTR Longtail is a legendary race car designed for endurance racing in the late 1990s, specifically for the FIA GT Championship. Introduced in 1997, it featured an extended body with a pronounced "longtail" rear, enhancing aerodynamics for greater stability and reduced drag at high speeds. Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.1-liter BMW V12 engine, the Longtail produced around 600 horsepower, delivering blistering performance. Its lightweight carbon-fiber construction ensured agility and speed, making it a dominant force on the track. The Longtail’s refined aerodynamics, aggressive design, and racing success cemented its status as one of the most iconic endurance race cars in automotive history.
