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.

Some wishful thinking by the author of this piece.

Make no mistake, I'd like a McLaren F1, but it is not the fastest production car ever built. In fact, it comes in at #9...

I had forgotten how fast the Venom was. Big engine squeezed into a Lotus chassis.

Vegas is only 450 miles away. I am sorely tempted.

You are good to go. Don’t buy a supercar as an everyday driver....

my Z07 vette is better looking (fast enough for me)and the Veyrons are faster for a mere 2.5 million.

The Chiron is now Bugatti's flagship 1500 hp 2.7million dollars W-16 engine with more boost than the Veyron and $32,000 a set of tires - first year's production already sold

Average Chiron buyer owns 42 other cars, 3 helicopters, and at least one jet.

My ‘98 Toyota Tacoma truck can do zero to the grocery store in under 10 minutes. It’s only 2 miles but there are three stop signs.

Yes, the Corvette Z06 and Z07 are the best bang for the buck today.
