He may not be the flashiest driver in F1, in terms of driving style, but Lando Norris deservedly won his first career title. The native of Bristol, with a very impressive second half of the championship, managed to get the better of his teammate. Piastri was unable to manage a large margin over his competitors, even finishing behind Max Verstappen who, in GP in Abu Dhabicame close to achieving the feat.
Lando finished the season with just 2 points more than the Red Bull Racing ace, becoming a legend. His taste for British cars is closely linked to the McLaren team. Let’s start with the supercar that most represents the world champion: McLaren P1. A hybrid racing car, like F1 single-seaters, but with two seats and a production limited to 375 examples. The beating heart is a twin-turbo V8 combustion engine, which, together with an electric engine, releases a total power of 916 horsepower. The jewel of Woking covers 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, boasting a top speed of 350 / h ahtolimitati.
The jewels of the F1 champion
Lando made his debut in the top category of Motorsport in 2019 in a Papaya single-seater. McLaren pampered its protégé with a space road car, purchased in May 2023. The 765LT Spider it has been customized for the number 4 of the grille, as demonstrated by the initials LN embroidered on the headrests. Under the hood there is a V8 engine capable of releasing a maximum power of 765 CV for extreme driving pleasure. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes place in just 2.7 seconds and can reach a top speed of 300 km/h.
The English driver does not hide his passion for Italian cars. He bought himself a very powerful one Ferrari 812 Superfast. Presented at the 2017 Geneva event, today replaced by the 12Cilindri, with its magical 12-cylinder Superfast engine, it represents a reference to the legendary Ferrari 500 Superfast of 1964. Built in the Cavallino Style Center designed by Flavio Manzoni, it takes its name from the 800 horsepower of the engine and the 12 for the cylinders of the same. The top speed is above 340 km/h, while 0 to 100 km/h takes just 2.9 seconds. Norris also boasts a Porsche Carrera GT. The German supercar, equipped with a V10 engine, is capable of releasing a maximum power of 612 horsepower. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes place in 3.9 seconds, while the needle stops at around 330 km/h.
The love for Italian legends
The best models in Norris’ collection are yet to arrive. Let’s start with the first true hypercar in the history of the Prancing Horse. The F1 world champion is one of the lucky owners of one F40. The design is due to the Pininfarina studio in which Aldo Brovarone and Leonardo Fioravanti ventured under the guidance of Nicola Materazzi. The latter created the engine, gearbox and other technical elements of the F40 to celebrate Ferrari’s 40 years of activity. Marketed by the Modena company between 1987 and 1992, with 478 horsepower, guaranteed by a 3.0 twin-turbo V8 engine, it reached, for the time, the maximum speed record of 324 km/h. At the beginning of the year, the Italian car ended up against a guard rail along the streets of the Principality of Monaco, but a friend of Norris was driving.
Lando is also very proud of the Lamborghini Miura P400. An emblem of Made in Italy, produced between 1966 and 1973, with a V12 engine, approximately 350 horsepower, in a transverse rear position. At the top of the mtsupercars IG page you can see the McLaren driver in action on the legendary Miura. Images that speak for themselves and make us feel a hint of envy for the twenty-six year old.
