Five years later, Gordon Murray carried the argument further. Murray had spent nearly two decades designing grand prix cars for Brabham and McLaren, and the road car he shaped in 1992 brought much of that discipline with it. Its 6.1 litre naturally aspirated BMW V12 sent 618 hp through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels, within a carbon-fibre monocoque unprecedented in a production road car. The F1 had no power steering, no anti-lock brakes and no traction or stability control. Murray seated the driver alone at the centre of the cabin, with two passengers set back on either side, so that even the driving position reinforced the idea of direct control. If the F40 opened the argument, the F1 may be its clearest expression.
