Weighing only about 605 kg (1333.3 pounds) including the driver, the car ensured outstanding performance and agility. The aerodynamics benefited from specially designed front and rear wings to minimize air resistance and generate maximum downforce. Other technical details include the carbon fiber monocoque structure providing high safety and rigidity. All these features made the BMW Sauber F1.07 an extremely competitive and successful vehicle in Formula 1.
