Which British supercar of the 1990s has a central driving position?

The McLaren F1 is the British supercar of the 1990s with a central driving position.

Designed under chief engineer Gordon Murray, the McLaren F1 was unveiled in 1992 and entered production in the 1990s. Its driver sits on the car’s centerline, with one passenger seat slightly behind on each side, creating a distinctive three-seat layout. The arrangement was chosen to provide excellent visibility, balanced control inputs, and a direct, racing-inspired driving experience.

The F1 was built around low weight and high performance rather than luxury or electronic assistance. Its naturally aspirated 6.1-liter BMW V12 was mounted behind the passenger compartment, and the structure used extensive carbon-fiber construction. The engine bay was lined with gold foil to reflect heat, an unusual detail that became one of the car’s signatures.

The road car was produced from 1992 to 1998, with 106 examples built across road and racing variants. It became especially famous after the F1 GTR won the 24 Hours of Le Mans outright in 1995. The central-seat idea is sometimes confused with later cars such as the McLaren Speedtail, which borrowed the concept but is not the original 1990s supercar.
