McLaren F1

The McLaren F1 was a production roadcar designed by Gordon Murray, and built by McLaren Automotive in Woking, Surrey, England. The F1 was produced from 1992 to 1998. Only 106 examples of the car were ever built: 64 standard-version F1s, 5 LMs (tuned versions), 3 GT "longtail" roadcars, 5 prototypes (XP), 28 racecars (GTR), and 1 LM prototype (XP LM). Each car took roughly 3 to 4 months to make. During their production each car had a price tag of about $970,000 USD. Today the cars can sell for up to nearly twice that of the original price, due to their performance, exclusivity, and rarity.

Standard equipment on the stock McLaren F1 includes full cabin air conditioning, SeKurit electric defrost/demist windscreen and side glass, electric window lifts, remote central locking, Kenwood 10-disc CD stereo system, cabin access release for opening panels, cabin storage department, four lamp high performance headlight system, rear fog and reversing lights, courtesy lights in all compartments, map reading lights and a gold-plated Facom titanium tool kit and first aid kit (both stored in the car). In addition tailored, proprietary luggage bags specially designed to fit the vehicle's carpeted storage compartments, including a tailored golf bag, were standard equipment. Each car also came with a special-edition Tag-Heuer McLaren F1 watch.
