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.

The car was Mr Beans. He had crashed it twice the most recent rebuild was over one million dollars. He sold it for just under one million. The mileage was actual mileage at time of sale.

At 242 mph, it makes that troublesome morning commute so much easier.

I’ll keep my Honda S2000,

Lucky you, I desperately wanted one when they came out. I had the measley '95 Del Sol at the time.

Last week I saw a silver S2000 for the first time in well over a year. I don't think that many were sold in my area of S.E. Michigan......

British actor Rowan Atkinson aka Mr. bean. He’s actually quite the car enthusiast and has substantial wealth to support his interest.

He's one of the few that gets to drive the Napier-Railton, which is still driven at Goodwood, etc. Now that's a real race car.

Any monkey with enough money today can buy some modern high performance street car that has more safety equipment than he has brains.

What I would give to drive the Napier-Railton on a board track!

Bugatti Chiron is faster and far more pleasing to the eye.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think that Bugatti is ugly as sin.

To each his own, eh?
