Few names in the world of automotive design are as respected as Steve Nichols. Known for his successful career in Formula 1, including contributions to the legendary McLaren MP4/4, Nichols now returns with a new creation that captures the essence of the classic design language and combines it with modern technology - the Nichols N1A Roadster.
Inspired by the iconic McLaren's M1A from 1960s, the N1A captures the spirit of the past while embracing the technologies of the present. Every inch of this sports car exudes a sense of elegance and power. The N1A's design features elegant curves reminiscent of its historic predecessor, MP4/4, which helped secure Ayrton Senna's first world championship. Photo: nichols-cars.com
Beneath the charismatic carbon body of the N1A is a modern combination of aluminum and carbon fiber. The workmanship is impeccable, as all panels are unique, which emphasizes the individuality of the car. The carbon pontoons on the sides of the cabin have both a structural and an aesthetic function, referencing classic racing car design elements.
The N1A is equipped with modern features such as power steering and traction control without sacrificing the primal and visceral driving experience. The LS3 mid-mounted V8, a custom-built 7-liter masterpiece built by Langford Performance Engineering, delivers an astounding 650 horsepower, creating an outstanding power-to-weight ratio.
