Auto-Erotic Design: McLaren F1 Form Follows Function Even With Foot Pedals

'Form follows Function' is the defining design philosophy underlying styling, engineering and packaging of every McLaren road car. The same's true for McLaren's F1 car. The perfect example? The gorgeous function-first pedal design. What's your favorite set of clutch/slow/go pads?

This is the start of a new semi-regular Jalopnik series we're calling "Auto-Erotic Design." We give you our favorite shot of a car part, you try to one-up us in the comments below by posting your favorite shot. To see if you can beat the hot automotive sex we've dropped atop the post we'll run our reader responses as a gallery the next day. (Note to starred commenters: Help us out by promoting the threads with pictures!)

First up, we're choosing foot pedals. You think you've got some hotter pedals than what McLaren's got? Prove it and show us the sexy below.
