Story behind

McLaren MP4/13

Designed by the brilliant Adrian Newey and Neil Oatley, the McLaren MP4/13 was a masterpiece of engineering that revolutionised the sport in 1998 and marked McLaren's triumphant return to the winner's circle. Featuring incredible aerodynamic prowess, the sleek design and push-rod actuated front suspension make the MP4/13 the most compact car on the grid. With a powerful Mercedes-Benz 'FO 110' engine, generating a breathtaking 760 bhp at around 16,000 rpm, this beast dominated the tracks, propelling Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard to victory after victory. The MP4/13's stunning debut at Melbourne set the tone for an extraordinary season, with Hakkinen and Coulthard securing a mesmerising one-two finish.
