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.

Mileage: 41,000.
What does that mean? The car lasts 41k?
I’ll keep my Honda S2000, Accord dependability, Porsche Boxter performance.
When I was a kid, this doodlehed that managed the dairy queen use to think he was a big shot cus he had a 67 T top stingray and would tell my brother “go wash my car”
He would pick me up, we would yell “HELL RIDE”! and eventually wash the car LOL
Who gives the keys to a vette to a 16 year old? LOL
Means Rowen Atkinsons F1 has 41k on it
Apparently it has had a line of owners and the wonderful Black Adder/Mr Bean is happy to be 4th owner.
Hey Leno was 3rd in line LOL
The Hennessy briefly eclipsed the veyron until it was reincarnated as the chiron, but that is only because production had ceased to focus on the chiron
is that Mr. Bean?
Yes, I thought the writer was wrong too. I just posted the title. But, none of the supercars from the mid 1990’s till now has entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans and won overall (not just in class) except the McLaren F1. I think that is why they command such a high price. Corvette regularly wins their class and it is impressive, but they fall far short of overall wins.
I reckon guess and calculate it is...
Pfffft. Only ONE jet???
Saw a McLaren in the Parking lot of the Wallys Desert Turtle Restuaraunt (yes you heard that right) in Rancho Mirage CA last week. It was during a Black Tie YMCA Charity Event. A lot of money out that way.
But if Blackadder says to get one, I'm in.
Baldrick, wash my car! LOL
Baldrick, wash my car! LOL
yes. British actor Rowan Atkinson aka Mr. bean. He’s actually quite the car enthusiast and has substantial wealth to support his interest.
It might not have the top end of the Veyron but the Koenigsegg One:1 blows the Veyron away in any acceleration situation. Christian Keonigsegg has said that his goal with the One:1 is to have the quickest car in the world at any acceleration interval between 0-250 mph. When you have 1320 hp to the ground in a vehicle that weighs less than 3,000 pounds, fierce acceleration is a given. Engineering estimates put the top end in the mid-270's which seem realistic given how quickly it can get to 250.
models have gone for $12 million and $13 million. Interested?
