McLaren F1

Sultan of Brunei has/had 7 of them!

Frank Selldorff, co-founder of Reach he commutes between England and the US. He owns a black road car (#007) a silver road car (#068) and a LM edition (#???), which is the only US LM model.

Here are his black 007 and LM at Turner Motorsports in New Hampshire, USA. Apparently the silver one is in England.

I know a guy in Texas has a silver one, Ralph Lauren has 2 of them, Mika Hakkinen has one, BMW Motorsport probably owns at least half a dozen. McLaren surely owns a couple. Tommy Hilfiger *i think* has one as well.

Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) has one. Heard he crashed it though.

My SUPERCARS list:

Ferrari F50
Ferrari Enzo
Lamborchini Diablo
McLaren F1

NOTE!!! Not in any particular order!!!


But I dont know if I could count F1 Grand Prix cars as SuperCars, because, they actually ARE cars, but not really for sale, altough you can actually buy an F1 car.

Then I would add the following cars
Ferrari F2002
Tyrell Ford P34
Williams FW14B

FW14B? Why? I've always thought the ULTIMATE Williams was the 15C with everything including the kitchen sink.

The one that crashed here in Aust was apparently by a mechanic. Owner left it for the weekend at a garage and someone decided to take it for a "test" throught a national park. Rest is history.

Hey Irvingthien
did u now even tho all of tht is tru about the bugatti it still aint better than the mclaren and u want to no why...becuz even tho it has the biggest engine look at the saleen s7 it has a v8 and it can up with the murcielago which by the way has a v12 and the mercedes benz sl55 amg has a v6 and can keep up with the viper with a v10 and the top speed wow it can last longer....on a track there are no straight aways its all turns so how is it gonna reach its top speed huh. now the 0-60 mph in 3 seconds flat now thts only in its quickness which the mclaren hits it in 3.3 seconds so if u think u no tht the bugatti is better think again like i said the mclaren f1 gtr was, is, and alwasy will be the BEST.

You lost all credibility when you said the SL55 AMG has a V6 in it...

[joseff]

Give the man a beer!

[Irvingthien]

so if u think u no tht the bugatti is better think again like i said the mclaren f1 gtr was, is, and alwasy will be the BEST.

Ohh come on....
The car was launched more than a decade ago and stoped production in '97.Sure,it uses air craft technologies but doesn't every super cars today uses it???Engine components are more advance and lighter than it was 10 years ago....
The point is that McLaren produced the F1 because they wanted the title "worlds fastest production cars".If Lamborghini or Ford throws in a billion bucks of money,they could have made a better car than McLaren yeas ago!!!

[mclarenf1gtr]

yea so wat they could have but did the NO....for one ford owns jaguar and jaguar already has a super car...the xj220...and it is fast as hell and yes the sl55 does have a v6 so dont argue with me bout tht it just has a supercharger added to it with tht amg --- and yea lamborghini could have done tht to but the want to make fast cars tht are legal enough to drive anywhere. but tht didnt happen over here in ohio they are ILLEGAL to drive becuz they r to fast for the cops u can havwe a lambo in 2nd or 3rd gear and already be in the 100 mile per hour zone and just leave the cops in the dust

[West]

Ok. So why does EVERYBODY ELSE say the SL55 has a V8? Did you build them yourself or something? You were only correct in the supercharger part.

Lamborghinis are too fast for Ohio? What... never heard of that one before.

[West]

I noticed your other post earlier and you said a track is all turns. You ever heard of Autodromo di Monza, Spa, and Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve? Or even at Indy, where wing setup cannot compromise the 22 second oval run?

And which Bugatti are you talking about? The EB110? That thing is older than the McLaren F1 I believe, so it should be outdated. And if you are talking about the Veyron, that car hasn't even come out yet, so there's no point in trying to compare the McLaren to it.

[Carbon]

Hehehe - too funny. Go easy on him fellas! My favorite supercar is the new Porsche 911, with a flat-4 V6 that's been supercharged to equal a V8. Gotta love it. Unfortunately, it's only available in the province of British Columbia.

[mclarenf1gtr]

WEST sorry but i was mistakin the sl55 DOES have a v8 but the fact of the matter is the bugatti can not beat the mclaren wether its stats are higher or not and CARBON i love the new porshe but its not a 911 its a porshe gt and it has a front engine which NO PORSHE has v6 w/ the supercharger to make it a v8and u want to no somethin else the engine cam from the cayenne
