McLaren Selling Fastest Supercar Ever Built
Real Clear Life ^

Posted on 05/26/2016 4:40:04 PM PDT by MtnClimber

Model is one of only a few left for sale

McLaren is selling a single model of its F1, the fastest supercar ever built. Twenty-three years later, the car still holds the record (it reached a speed of 242.8 mph). Only 64 F1 cars were made in all, and only six in the year this particular model was produced, so it’s that much more exclusive. Never sold, McLaren held on to this specific one in its vault until now. There’s no official list price, but other models have gone for $12 million and $13 million. Interested? Contact McLaren for further details at specialoperations@mclaren.com. View images of the supercar below.

I don’t know if any of the new supercars are faster. But, I know none have won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race like the McLaren F1 did.

If it’s as good in snow as it is on a track, I might be interested. How is the heating and air conditioning in that thing and what kind a sound system does it have?

Stop being silly, it’s the number of cup holders that are important.

I like the late-’60s, early ‘70s McClarens that dominated the Can Am series far better.

I was in London in 1994. Near where I was staying there was a McLaren F1 display in some shop that was taking orders. The one on display had a set of golf clubs they threw in if you bought one.

It’s WAY better to drive a vehicle where one sits WAY above the road into a setting sun...
