2012 new Ford Fiesta 650bhp Ken Block Gymkhana

1972 De Tomaso Pantera Group 4

After a relatively disappointing 1987 , when the McLaren - TAG Porsche (850 bhp in race and 1060 bhp in qualification) lost out nine times to the dominant Honda -powered Williams , twice to Lotus with their Honda engines, and twice in the latter stages to Ferrari , taking only three wins. McLaren secured the 1.5L V6 Honda turbo engines, one of the most powerful in F1 at the time. With the engines coming at the expense of Williams, a strong 1988 was possible. 1988 was due to be the last year for the turbo engines before they were banned, so most teams were making a concerted effort to establish themselves with naturally aspirated cars.

The M8D differed visually from the M8B. With new rules banning the strut-mounted wings that had proliferated in 1969, the solution at McLaren comprised a pair of tail fins which acted as fences to channel airflow over a wide, low-mounted wing located eight inches above the rear bodywork. The distinctive appearance earned the car the nickname 'the Batmobile'. It was less efficient aerodynamically without the M8B's high wing, so to maintain performance the team sought even greater horsepower. A new deal with Reynolds Aluminium gave it access to that company’s new silicon-aluminium Chevrolet blocks, 8-litre versions of which were said to be capable of producing 700bhp.
