There are many cars out there... GTR , CArrera GT, Enzo, SLR, Veyron etc ........ But only one McLaren F1.. The best car ever made........ period.

 

Great article. Its still an amazing and sexy car. I would love to have one.

 

Well unfortunately for me, Mclaren F1 ownership will always be for the very rich. From 100 hours of labor every 4-5 years to replace the gas tank to a clutch that only last 3k-6k miles...

 

Jay Leno was saying that he took his McLaren in for service and they did the regular check up/repairs... with that was a new windshield wiper. When he asked how much that was? They said it was something ridiculous... over $1000. He told them to take it off.

McLaren F1 ownership is expensive, but you also have to be practical where you spend your money. The Jay Leno example shows that.

 

still amazes me to this day

 

Its probably all dry carbon.

 

amazing car

 

will always be my favorite car.....I even owned a McLaren F1 t-shirt as a kid after attending my first ALMS race. Surprisingly some of the best kids I've ever seen as well. Memories of the old NFS games came flooding back....I had the diecast models and everything, I actually know where the two I had still are, couldn't bear to let them go. I'm excited for the P11 like you wouldn't believe!

 

The king of all cars, such amazing car .. of course, the NSX used as reference made thing easier for Gordon Murray

Im sure the Ultima GTR's they used were part of the story too....
