McLaren Formula One team has unveiled its latest car for the 2010 season, the McLaren MP4-25. The MP4-25 is as different from last year’s MP4-24 as that car was from its MP4-23 predecessor. The MP4-25 Formula 1 uses a 2.4-liter V-8, which revs to (restricted) 18,000 rpm and puts its astonishing (and unlisted) power down through a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Apart from the stretched wheelbase, McLaren says the MP4-25 is an aerodynamic evolution over last year’s car. One of the primary changes to the MP4-25 for the start of this season is the double diffuser at the rear of the car. Other aerodynamic evolutions from last year include the rear wing, which sports a dorsal fin in its center.
