McLaren’s vision for the 2050 Formula 1 is sheer adrenaline! - Yanko Design

Looking like something either out of a videogame or a motion picture most videogames, this is MCLExtreme, an amped-up vision of what a fully-electrical F1 volition look similar in 2050, courtesy McLaren.

Sparing literally no item, and quite literally painting an incredible picture in the process, McLaren'south vision for 2050 has quite a few interesting predictions. A completely electric drivetrain is a given, considering Formula Ane'southward gradual drift towards information technology. The cars won't just be electric, they'll charge wirelessly likewise. The rail volition supply power to the cars at strategic intervals as they bulldoze in circles. However, where it gets interesting is that McLaren says that in lodge to accuse effectively, drivers will have to slow downward to gather more than energy. Drive tedious and you accuse more than, drive fast and you save time. The concept of the pit-finish doesn't be in 2050 either. The machine's tires will be crafted from a much more durable and self-repairing material that makes them last longer and eventually repair over time, therefore never needing replacing.

The cars themselves will be able to morph as you lot drive too. The machine volition morph to abound wider at corners, allowing them to grip the road better and stay stable, but volition grow narrower on longer, straight stretches, giving them the aerodynamics they demand. Formula 1 volition retain the closed-cockpit design, specially since these cars will come with the capacity to achieve superlative speeds of 500km/h. Nonetheless, to retain the human chemical element that would get lost by enclosing the driver in a covered cockpit, McLaren's even designed an emotion-sensing bodysuit that connects the commuter to the lighting units in the car'due south wheels. As drivers get aggressive and aroused, the machine wheels will turn red, and when the drivers remain nerveless and calm, the wheels shine blue. This allows fans to feel emotionally engaged and invested in the F1 experience, retaining the overall addictive, entertainment element of the sport. Sounds like an extremely far-fetched vision of the future, but recall that the earth could be an entirely unlike place 30 years from now!
